So, this is all a bit interesting. As others have mentioned, SENA decided that players using the Chasm to grind for lux instead of the actual raid boss was a problem, so they removed the Chasm quests instead of increasing the lux output of the raid boss. Or at least, that's what seems to have happened.

Removing AP from story and material quests is going to be good for enticing new players to play the game, though it feels like they could have just as easily removed the AP system altogether instead. If you haven't caught up on Proud quests yet (like me), then this is a great time to work on those. Free jewels, free gems, and free keyblades.

Ah, good, the browser game basically killed AP for story missions part-way through its run too (or rather, AP costs were reduced to 1, which was trifling) and it did it a world of good. I wonder if I'll even come back to the game now?
