Good to know.
However, this habit of introducing new features—such as the free UI respecs introduced in Update 49 back in March—while leaving the affected leveling content broken for months is not a good look.
If these rewards are finally being fixed in Update 51 next September, that means it took two major patches and half a year just to clean up a legacy system they broke.
Players—especially newer ones—should not be left with broken or non-functional level-up rewards for such an extended period.
It shows a clear lack of internal coordination between implementing modern systems and updating the core progression elements tied to them.

When leveling a character from level 42 to level 43, players still receive the "Bound Attribute Respecification Scroll" and "Bound Skill Respecification Scroll".
However, these items have been unusable for a long time.
Essentially, these obsolete rewards were never replaced with anything functional.
This can be highly confusing for new players. It frankly shows a lack of care in properly maintaining and polishing the game.

The devs said that they were changing that and I think that was slated for Update 51. They've been whittling away making level-up rewards more appropriate to current game systems, so you get your horse at Level 5 now and stuff like that. The last character of mine to cross that threshold took the 600 gold and gave thanks for not having to sacrifice two inventory slots for the indefinite future (character-bound gear really bites for storage).

The 600 gold is a nice silver lining for inventory management, but it shouldn't have to be a choice between pocket change and broken items.
Level-up milestones are supposed to feel rewarding and teach mechanics to progressing characters.
Turning a milestone into a chore of clearing inventory slots just proves how disconnected the legacy rewards have felt prior to this upcoming Update 51 fix.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but those respec scrolls became close to useless when the Armory Station showed up in Update 32. That's why the "give thanks for the two freed up pack slots." The only time I used those scrolls was when characters were doing the initial leveling up of the subclassed skill lines, but they were character-bound and couldn't be stacked with the other respec scrolls from login rewards. Took the money and ran with those, too.

I wonder if they will do something about the riding scrolls also.
I started an alt character and had it do riding upgrades everyday in preparation for when I actually started to play it. Between that, and some riding scrolls from other sources, I maxed out all of its riding skills.
Started playing it, and around level 30, I got a character bound riding scroll (at least account bound could have been used for some other alt), which was literally worthless since its value was 0.

To add somewhat to that, there is also an unresolved and underlying math problem. Stablemaster mount upgrades now do 3 per upgrade, so zero to sixty in about 3 weeks (sounds like the car I drove as an undergrad, now that I think about it). The "Explorer's Travel Parcel" is 5 of each type (not evenly divisible by 3) and there are two available if the player buys the Premium Tome (10 is also not evenly divisible by 3), plus the one freebie as a level-up reward. The math says that no matter what the player does, they will always end up with at least two of the three stats where they are going to pay 500g for an upgrade, but only get one or two upgrades out of it. Not complaining at the time/grind reduction for mounts, but somebody didn't look at the math on the Riding Lessons when deciding to go with that change.
