Nexon changed Masteria?

All the badge drop rates were increased; I've done a lot of Masteria hunting lately, and I don't remember such often badge drops. Nothing comparable to Windraider, but I've noticed upped rates.

@ SwordStaker: Lucky me then, I've gotten a lot of wood lately, getting like 13-14 channels of Path of Strength without interruption. :] This has been on several days too. Yay Windia!

I don't go to Wolf Spiders often, but I do not remember the background being darkish-gold, if that counts as a major change to Masteria. I'd look at old screenshots of the map to compare but... I have none.

The map backround HAS changed actually. It's darker 0.o
