Mudcrab Chitin? Anybody see a change?

For some reason, I can no longer seem to keep Mudcrab Chitin stocked up in my bag. It's never been a reagent in which I've stockpiled stacks to keep in supply. But for the longest time (well... ever) I've always managed to keep a suitable stock of it by simply by making it a point to kill a few whenever I stumble across them. Lately though (a month maybe?) I seem to be running out of the stuff a couple of times a week. I only ever actually use it when an Alchemy Daily calls for it, so I've never had to actively and intentionally go out and farm the stuff.

I haven't made any changes in my routines anytime in the past few months, so I'm curious if perhaps the drop-rate has changed (whether by mudcrabs or from daily reward containers), or the frequency in which alchemy dailies call for it. Obviously I can adjust for it, and add Mudcrab Hunting to my growing list of routine chores (I'd rather not, but hey whatsa guy to do).

Anyhoo, just thought I'd ask here if anybody else has noticed the same. Or if it's just in my head.

    I had that problem a long time ago when I started doing daily alchemy writs on multiple toons. I think it is essence of stamina at max level that requires 3 mudcrab chitin. I managed to blow through my entire craft bag stock without realizing it.

    I destroy that daily now when I get it because the 700 gold isn’t worth it.

    Yeah, I do my dailies on several toons each day. But I've been doing that for a while, so it's nothing new. And yep, that alchemy writ is the only time I ever actually use chitin. Just lately my normal method of collecting it has stopped keeping up. At least I don't think I've slacked off on it, because Zerith Var is constantly cracking the Mudcrab zingers when I kill them.

    Ah well. I guess I'll just have to adjust.
