It would appear the consensus from people who are able to get on and test it is showing that the earring still fulfills its intended purpose (increasing exp% from monster kills). So the only problematic thing is it not working in Bozjan content apparently but that's already such a huge boost to leveling that I imagine it's not necessary. I'll take the L on assuming it didn't work on dungeon bosses since I'm apparently blinder than my prescription would imply and missed it in the chatlog lol

For me though the ring was just a bonus for pre-ordering and served no exp purpose for me until EW landed and I suddenly had two new jobs below 80 to level, so I definitely had nothing taken away from my purchase. It could be the OP missed the chatlog message as well, assuming their post is in good faith of course.
