it is not broken, so it can't be fixed. the chance of you getting what you need from a monster is random. you just have to be patient and keep trying.

You specifically asked that the problem be fixed.

Saying there's a problem that needs fixing is asking for something broken to be fixed. So the term used was appropriate.

Also, the respondant didn't say anything about bosses. He said MONSTERS. Which is exactly what you're fighting when doing the spider quest.

Perhaps in the future, you need to slow down and read what's been said as well as take into light how you worded your post was received and responded to. Seems anytime someone gives an answer in the different threads you don't particularly like, you immediately jump on the defensive and go on the attack in your responses towards them.

If you'd controlled your hotheaded response long enough to read what had been said, then you'd realize that the respondant was replying to your exact words and was addressing exactly what you were asking about.

Let's see....if you're asking for something to be fixed you are implying that that certain something IS broken. Maybe a little better wording next time would clarify your "meaning". Also, if you're having problems collecting in one area try going to a different area and fighting the same thing or changing realms.

First of all, your comment is rude and uncalled for. You asked for advice and someone was giving it to you. Next, you did state it was broken by stating "Please fix this problem.. " That implies it is broken. Why would you need to fix a problem if it isn't broken. So maybe next time you need to read what you wrote and maybe learn how to have some patience.

Calm down. Take a deep breath. It's ok.

it is not broken, so it can't be fixed. the chance of you getting what you need from a monster is random. you just have to be patient and keep trying.

1. You said this was a problem you wanted fixed which some might imply that it is broken.
2. No one ever said you were fighting a boss
3. There is no need to get hostile to someone who is trying to offer you help.

I believe gtfvicecity was just trying to help you understand that if you are told to collect 8 of something from a particular monster, that does not mean that you only have to FIGHT 8 of those monsters. You can fight two of them and collect only one of what you need or none of the items. You are lucky if you got two from the fight. It may take fighting 30 monsters before you collect all of the items you need. They just said that the monster/enemy (spiders in this case) only drop what you need randomly.

Check the wording in the quest log. There is a difference between defeat 8 spiders and collect 8 items dropped by those same spiders.
