I think your experience is shard based and not game wide.
Different servers had very different caliber of GMs and Guides.
On Bristlebane where I guided I doubt that was a common occurrence.
Our server had one of the more active GM/Guide event interactions with players of any server. There are still pics of our Halfling High Drive event on ZAM. An event which served no purpose other than to interact with the community.
By comparison the server I played on, Cazic-Thule had just about no interaction unless a petition or wedding was made and I witnessed 0 non-scripted events.
My point is not just that a person's experience could vary widely based on the shard they played on but the choice these devs made for Levitating boats was obviously a coded change to reduce overhead and policing of problems involved with boats. it would seem they're not above changes which make their lives easier and I wouldn't blame them for it. This is, in the end an emulation and will never be perfect.
