You mean to replace the requested items for the local leves?
If that's what you're asking, I'm with you. I doesn't affect me, but ugh...it looks ugly "dated".

I'm not really expecting them to do it in the short-term. The leves work, the recipes work, and you're getting EXP anyways.

Edit: read the OP again like three times. Are we still getting dated recipes as rewards? Every time I get a new one it's mostly the "change color of your gear" type.
