Fix to the pack download issues

Cross server friendslist!

• Due to complaints from the inhabitants, the animal cap was set back to previous figures on Affliction since it’s a smaller server than the others.
• A bug wih combinable leather caused leatherworking to display “too poor quality” messages when improving. Will be fixed in the next update.

Disease bugfix, crowding tweak
