Well along these same lines, I was trying to use my normal lvl 10 recipe (it's just a first gen) and they all came out as 14s, with about half the HAM as usual. Was there a rebalance that no one said anything about??? I kinda like my formulas, and if I have to go back and "re-learn" BE, that's gonna be hard! Anyone know what's going on?

Technically its only exploiting if you know you're doing it 
The pets in question would technically be exploits because making them involves taking advantage of a known bug, but the very meaning of the word exploit implies intent. So if you dont know its a bug (and havent the common sense to realise that pets sooo out of whack with their level must be bugged) then you cant technically be taking advantage of the bug, therefore you cant be exploiting.
The whole discussion is adacemic however, since no action will be taken against anyone making or using these pets.

I think there may be *some* truth to this possible rebalance...
I have used the CL10 forumla VD/VD/NS/NS/NS exp physique up to 25/26% and never ever had anything other than cl10.
Just as this patch comes out,2 out of the 3 I have made cameout as CL11.
I'm not doing anything different, the results have changed... therefore, logically, something must have changed with the system.
It is possible thatI have just been unlucky. I haven't had a large enough sample to see if it was random bad luck, or actually a change.

Last night I made a bunch of VD/VD/NS/NS/NS pets for the first time. I only experimented Physique up to 23 or 24% and they all came out at CL 10. The one time I went up to 25% it came out CL: 11.

I originally never used to push itas high as 26%, working off 4points to physique instead, then I tested out what was the max, and it was 26%. (sometimes you can only got to 25% dependant upon success of exp).
I would understand if I was over the CL10 limit for exp, but it's never been a prob before, and i've made loads of pets with 25/26% at CL10.

Hehe, well, if I had 5 credits for everytime somebody made this claim in this forum(that the pet crafting system has somehow been horribly changed after the last patch) I'd be a rich guy.
I'd say much more likely is that you are just getting hit by random variations in the stats of the wild creatures you are sampling from. These can vary quite a bit (over 10%). Next time keep track of the stats and see. You might have just been sampling from a particularly strong VD or NS (whatever that is). And then the other thing of course is your experimentation. Perhaps an amazing success effected your results.
