Will there be any changes to the dropped crafting materials?

As a Weaver, my biggest point of frustration has come from trying to obtain materials like Fleece or Diremite Web, when these enemies are always completely locked down by other people.

I agree completely, it wouldn't be so bad if the prices to buy these items on the AH were cheap, but they are not due to bots, heavy farming, and the NEED for them for crafting. things wouldn't be as locked down if:

A) there were more mobs that dropped the item in more then just one area thus giving option to 2 farming areas versus being able to gather it all up in 1 spot burn it down and wait...
B) there was a quicker spawn rate attached so that more are available to fight over instead of 3 people sitting around for 3-4 mins waiting for 1 monster to spawn...
C) they dropped in bigger quantities so that farm time is reduced

anyway you look at it there is a problem that needs a fix...

You don't have to compete with other players for Diremite Web. There are Levequests that rotate between 10 webs and lightning shards.
