Miscellaneous: Spider Silk Too Rare?

[Dinbin]

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but...

I'm trying to work my tailoring up from 26 to 80. So I've been looking all over for regular spider silks. Last night I tried several zones (Everfrost, WK/EK, Toxxulia), all places where large spiders spawn. I killed about 20-30 large spiders of various varieties, and maybe netted 5 or 6 spider silks. This drop rate seems to be more in line with "rare" instead of "common". Most spiders simply had no loot at all. I do recall original EQ having these silks as a fairly common drop; some even dropping 3 or 4!

Am I wrong?
