Could someone shine some light on the Sword of Runes proc issue?

When I first started playing here, the Sword of Runes didn't proc on non-summoned mobs, and players complained that it was not classic because on live, (whether a bug or miscoded) they did in fact proc on everything. People wanted to have the "classic experience" so the were changed to proc on everything on live.

So now, they are nerfed (fixed) to work on only summoned mobs. Is this fix in line with the timeline on live of when they got fixed? Or is this fix because they were never supposed to work that way on live and its being corrected on Project 1999 just to fix it?

My only qualm with the argument that, "It was not supposed to work that way on live so it should be fixed here," is that there are many bugs or coding errors on live that would need to be fixed here such as the halfling experience bonus. Humans were intended to receive that, however a coding error gave it to the hobbits. This leads way to many core functions of the game needing to be "fixed" because they were never supposed to on live.
