Hello there!
I would like to give you my opinion (and I'm sure the opinion of many other combat medics) that we need another creature in the game to drop spider venoms.

The firebreathing spider simply isn't enough.
Would be great to see things like Kiln'dray, Reclusive Spider Queendropping them, aswell as power 90 ones from normal spiders.
If you're compiling a list of issues to be fixed with the CM profession, this would be my main and only request.

Loot such as Spider Venom isn't meant to be readily or widely available. It's supposed to be special, it's supposed to be rare, it's only there to provide CMs a boost to a pack everyonce in a while. It isn't supposed to be something used all the time in place of regular/advanced components.
I'm sure there are people who would like to see more creatures drop Krayt Tissue to make them easier to find and use. While it would be nice, it doesn't mean it should happen.

Spider Venom being dropped on several creatures would make our profession look even worse. We are already teased about being an easy profession. I would just prefer the drop rates are increased, or at least increase the % chance of it dropping.

I tend to agree with Texxie.
Also right now the Fire-Breathing Spider is not dropping ANY venom. That is bugged and I have brought it before the devs. Once it starts dropping again we'll see if the drop rate needs to be altered. I have a feeling it's going to be ok.
As to resource requirements that was our number one issue last time. I'd bet that if we did another poll it would come out on top again.

Didn't they just increase the Krayt spawn rate significantly?

Yep, they increased the spawn rate of Krayts. But did they make it so Rancors or Kimos started dropping Krayt Tissue? Nope.
Asking to have the drop rate or spawn rate of the Fire Spider upped, that's one thing. Asking to have the loot dropped by several other creatures is completely different.

However, it occours to me that the main reason we have become reliant on rancor bile and spider venom is because the resources we need to mkae advanced components either doesn't spawn or doesn't spawn with good vlaues or a combination of both.

That is something I agree with needs to be looked at insteadof simply upping the amount of Spider Venom being introduced into the game.

But the result would be the same: more Venoms (except that killstealing and spawncamping would not be so bad). ;-)
On the other hand CM is strong enough without such loot.

/agree with texxie Spider venom is supposed to be rare or at least on par with Janta blood.

You believe it's better to have all the CMs on a server camping that one creature?
And tbh, any and all of you who are criticizing my opinion..... think about the game from a real PvPers point of view.
Janta cures/area cures/poison buffs - Janta bloods which drop regularly from missions which make normal poisons almost unusable.
Whereas CMs, with their only counter dropping from one 60k HAM monster in a camped cave......very fair 
Play the game.
