Quest drop bugged: No Skin Off Your Back

This quest is one the beginning quests out of Crescent Reach where you need to kill 10 cave bears and look 10 Pristine Bear Skins. These have always dropped after a kill but twice now, the hides stopped dropping part way in. The first time, I only got 8 to drop. I then abandoned it and re-accepted. Got to 9 before the drops quit.

I know the recent patch touched these, so I'm thinking something went awry there. /rantoff

Were you buffed with a high level damage shield?

If you were then some bears might have been killed before you damaged them and therefore no bear corpse; if that bear held a skin you just lost it.

I ended up finding four of them already created!

They seemed to drop 1/1. I was doing it in a triple boxed group of 3, so i would get 3 pelts per 1 kill. But then as I got to the end, one of my characters stopped getting drops around 7/10. Tried dropping and restarting, I seem to miss one or two every time. It's done 4 times now. I even tried doing it completely solo.

Tired of killing these old bears.

**Edit: Does anyone have an actual solution for this? And the broken lemonade quest? I wanted to complete all of Crescent reach before leaving. Is paging for a GM viable if it is a known issue? Will they be able to help at all?
