You forgot the third possibility:
3) The numbers haven't changed at all.
There is a self selection bias to people complaining on the forums. No one complains when they have good luck with drops... but if they ever have bad luck it must be the work of scheming chinese developers who (rather than fix bugs) spend all their time pointlessly tweaking ancient drop tables in unnoticeable ways to **** you over.
I just looked at the current elements.data manually and compared the drop table of that mob to a version from 2011 and it is the same as it has always been.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Yeah, they haven't been nerfed. More things have been added to the table. A poster (I think it was Sylen) posted his 3 year old spreadsheets and the drop rates were exactly the same. In addition, the gms already tested and said they hadn't found a problem in that thread. Since they said in that thread they'd keep testing, http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1574821 and haven't confirmed and it seems liked they might say something this time around, I'll leave this open. But I seriously doubt it.
edit: Yup, it was sylen. Here they are for your reference. http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=18992861&postcount=290 -
