First, you currently can't sell back your elder gem trinket to get sockets. This is an issue. 
 
Second, a number of BOE epics have been turned green and now have a much lower item level than adventure drops, which effects the value of runing them. This seems counterintuitive. 
 
I see there's already a response on the EG issue, but the BOE epics turning green while adventure ones stay blue is odd. 
 
Anyone ran into anymore issues?

The first issue is actually being looked into by J-tal and they plan on fixing this.

Yeah, I'm going to fix this. You should be able to sell that item back to the vendor for its full Elder Gem cost and repurchase a new one with the correct Rune count - similar to the Northern Wastes quest reward gadget.
 
I'll update again when I have a more definitive timeline for the fix.

The second I can't say anything on as I've not heard and I'm not home to see if any of my gadget(s) are experiencing a downgrade effect, sorry...

			I have the same issue. My gadget turned green so the Runes are much less effective than they should be. A green finess rune in the first slot only gives 11 finess. A blue gadget should give 13 and i think purples should be 14. So our gadgets are currently inferior to newly dropped ones.

I think they turned them green for that exact reason - to reduce the throughput from runes.
I think they're worried that leaving them at blue/purple would make them too overpowered, in most cases.

			Sure, but why would the BOE epics from dungeons turn green and the adventure stuff stay blue and get more out of its rune slots? Seems silly. 	
----
			With a playerbase that's already half pissed off because they have limited access to character progression, I'm not exactly sure who thought it would be a good idea to negate these same player's efforts by deminishing the gear they earned and also runed? It's kind of asinine.
