I didn't take that in an argumentative manner. I was wondering, though, why assume that something not stated as changing has changed, without data supporting any change?

I get that there are times that they don't put things into patch notes (I've seen it a lot with SoE/DBG with Everquest), though SE seems to be rather comprehensive with their notes. But lacking the data that supports an unannounced (or, for that matter, accepting the possibility that I might have missed or misread an announcement) change I was wondering why people started suddenly paying attention to the airship venture rating.
