I have been farming Ivan Soulsinger in Dragonspyre for HOURS to try and get his sword ( Soulsingers Soulsword ), just so I can make my current sword look better, and have a cool weapon to stitch my next weapon with. However, the farming has been going horribly, and when I finally got the sword, the game DCed me, and when I logged back in, the sword was gone! So I have to do it all over again. All the farming, all the crud, because the game disconnected me just as I got the sword, and didn't save. Because auto-saving is the most reliable way of saving your progress on an MMORPG.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact I'm, like, halfway finished with the game at this point, I'd just delete my account and give up, cause this is ridiculous. And I have to do this AGAIN in Waterworks and Castle Darkmoor? UGH...
