How Annoying Are Collecting Quests to You?

I know at one point in the game, everyone has had trouble with a defeat and collect quest. So I want to know your worst experiences with these kinds of quests. Be descriptive, but try not to get too mad when you think about all the "fun" times you had collecting!

This is where the game really turns me away. If I get a collect 10 or more quest I sometimes will do another quest for a while, or if I do it and continue to try and never succeed I'll come back another day and that seems to work for me. The second day seems much easier but that might be because I was getting so frustrated. But some have been very time consuming. Thankfully I didn't have as much trouble as some seemed to have had on that Avalon quest!!

Personally, I feel like the "collect ten rat tails" kind of quests are the worst sort of excuse for lazy quest writing there is. "Hmmm..., this quest is too short. Let's make them spend two hours looking for quest items."

I dislike all of the, but especially the ones where the chance to get the thing you need is one in ten or one in twenty or whatever. Because, you know, only one in ten rats has a tail. The rest had them chewed off by cats or something...
