That's a simple answer. While this only applies to PvE players who use the BG system, many blue server players who were there purely for gear would likely purchase the old BG armor pieces. The new set has only minimal upgrades and takes far longer to buy out as a set. Not having a Blue adornment slot wouldn't be a big deal to them. They just came to the BGs to stink and leech tokens anyhow as they throw games. Having the tools to win in the BG isn't part of their equation.

And of course, SOE is making sure that the BG armor and PvP armor pieces are identical. So when this odd BG situation bleeds off into your PvP servers, it makes for some weird item offerings.
