The "fix" also removed the armoring that I had put back into my Columni chest. I removed it to see if it would work, re-added it back in last night and all was fine. Login today and my chest has 7 armor and no armoring in it anymore. Awesome.
I believe this was fixed today
Yep they're being pretty quick on these...
Fixed an exploit that allowed the removal of Armoring item modifications that were not intended to be available for removal on Artifact quality items.
