Has anyone noticed mineral and jewel ores no longer drop?

So what exactly does that mean?

But what gets me is, why did they bother removing these as drops but not arrows for bows and crossbows from high level monsters? That's just dumb.

Clearly we've all done it wrong by maxing Soul Arrow.
Now that I think about it I haven't seen ores at all either. If they don't come back before Chaos profession update, then how long until we /get/ Chaos then. I doubt the community's gonna go "nerp fine without ores for 2-3 months kthnx nexon". >>
