• Cloning,Gameplay,"Diversity - While the revamp to cloning has greatly improved this, there is still the desire for more skins. In particular there are still no snake or flier skins and only one primate skins."


• Cloning,Bug,"We were told full-grown size will vary greatly depending on the final stats, this does not appear to be working correctly."


• Cloning,Gameplay,Colors do not always stay once a clone is tamed
  
  Cloning,Gameplay,"Currently, once a clone is tamed, it no longer retains the creator's mark. A BE'd pet should display who made it as well as the owner. "


• Cloning,Gameplay,"Documentation - the advanced BE guide was written by the
  community, we would like some official documentation please"


• Cloning,Gameplay,why isn't CL it listed on the Generic DNA Template? It is difficult to
  gauge whether a dna template is going to yield the desired CL on the final clone.


• Cloning,Bug,There are reports that some pets don't keep the color given to them in the crafting process
  
  Cloning,Bug,"Certain attacks, namely AOE attacks will not transfer to the clone. The thought is that this is by design, but we would appreciate official word on this. "


• DNA Sampling,Gameplay,Many feel the mind cost for sampling is way too high.


• DNA Sampling,Gameplay,"Once we sample a creature to death, we can no longer harvest resources from the corpse. Given the need for meat, we'd like to be able to harvest from creatures we've killed in this fashion. "


• DNA Sampling,Development Request.,"Storage - Storage is still an issue.
  Have submitted proposal on this issue. "


• DNA Sampling,Gameplay,Why does our DNA sampling now seem to cap at CL 75 when we used to be able to sample from anything in the game?


• DNA Sampling,Gameplay,CL is missing from DNA Samples


• Tissues,Gameplay,Resource availability - yield on eggs, fish and mollusks
  is still too low to be useful


• Tissues,Bug,"Quality of BEC/ABEC and LS/ALS have no effect on the
  quality of Pet Vitality Medpacks. Was this intentional? "


• General,Gameplay,Skill tapes - there are currently looted skilltapes for every crafting profession except BE.

• Cloning, Bug, Pyollian Cake has no effect on the assembly roll for Generic
  DNA Templates
  
  Cloning, Gameplay, There are no BE specific assembly bonuses, meaning BE's
  have no way to reduce their crit fail rate


• Cloning, Bug, Pet validity checks are not working as intended, it is still
  possible to create overpowered pets that are valid and underpowered pets
  that are invalid.


• Tissues, Bug, The schematics for BE products list the experimental
  attributes as 33 OQ, 33 PE and 33 FL, the correct formula is 50 OQ, 30 PE,
  20 FL


• Tissues, Gameplay, The resource requirements for the non-nutrient chef
  tissues need re-evaluating, nutrients are the most desirable chef tissues
  and are the easiest to make, the other tissues are not worth the effort to
  make due to the difficulty in obtaining large quantities of specific
  creature resources


• Tissues, Gameplay, The resource requirements for tailoring tissues follow
  the same pattern as chef tissues, the least in demand tissues have the worst
  resource requirements, eg. Eggs for Entertainer tissues and Milk for CH
  tissues.


• Tissues, Gameplay, The tailor tissues we have are currently underutilized
  with only a few of them being really popular (melee/Stun defense,
  Injury& Wound treatment are most popular, the others are much less so)


• DNA Sampling, Bug, DNA sampling can cause a covert factioned BE to be
  teffed if the creature he is sampling attacks an overt player


• DNA Sampling, Gameplay, Failure rate at MBE is too high (15% (experimental
  data) failure on gnorts )


• DNA Sampling, Gameplay, Diversity, there is a lack of sample-able
  creatures at the top end, there are only 3 creatures in game between cl
  70-75 and 2 are rare spawns. Mutant Rancor is pretty much the *only* option
  for high level DNA. Between the levels of 60-70 there are 5 creatures and 1
  is a lair boss. So there are only realistically 5 creatures to sample
  between the levels of 60 and 75


• General, Gameplay, DNA samples do not show the creature donor on the
  inventory listings, this is just as important, if not more than the quality
  of the DNA


• DNA Sampling, Gameplay, no unique error messages for sampling creatures out of the sample-able range of CLs and for a full inventory, message is just 'fail'


• Cloning, Gameplay, certain skins have minimum levels, it would be useful for this to be reflected in the crafting UI


• Cloning, Gameplay, previous to the revamp critical fails returned DNA, why was this taken out?

That pretty much sums up all the stuff I would say for issues. My main one is the sampling creature thing and the clothing attachments. I really feel that i'm hindered when I experiment on genetic templates. If we can't get SEA's maybe we could get some more skill points to use for our genetic experimentations . Also a quick idea that would be worth while is since we BE's can scan critters for particular items can we scan them and figure out what lvl they might be something to give us an estimate instead of gaging from the ferocity lvl?

My personal #1 issue right now is with skill points and vendors. We have such rough skill points requirements for this class that adding artisan AND the busines line AND merchant just to be able to sell our wares puts us at a big disadvantage relative to other crafters. And if they scale the vendor limits to merchant skills, this is gonna be very rough indeed.
