Ore pricing has always been arbitrary and frankly that's probably because all of the prices have been 'eyeballed' instead of properly calculated. They don't use a different formula - there is no formula. It's not even clear who's responsible for the pricing itself, as the buck seems to frequently be passed between the admins (historically responsible) and mining dev (logically responsible?).
