Yes, the pets question was tongue in cheek.
As for spamming specials...well, I'm supposed to use my specials in combat, except that most of them only work on creatures I can already kill without them so they don't do me much good. I've never been able to suppress a Rancor, even as part of a group.
Here's another for you: Traps can only work on creatures. Dizzy doesn't work on creatures. Rangers have a trap that causes Dizzy.
Anyone?

Umm because we bought Star Wars Galaxies, not The Sims.

lol at the backpack question...
But I think the original poster has a semi-valid point. While I don't want to worry about feeding my neo-pet SWG character, I WOULD like it if eating and drinking were more gratifying somehow. I love hanging out in cantinas, but no one buys drinks. I buy drinks as a RP thing. No one else does. What's the fun of having a cantina if no one's getting drunk?

Chefs don't become chefs to feed people, they do it to make money. Period.
Hours in the tattooine sun and you aren't the least bit thirsty? Lets not even count all those people hunting a krayt dragon.
perhaps maybe only a token is necessary, allow a person to heal 1 wound point per 5 mins if they have both food & drink in their stomach.

i hate the sims, you gotta do every single little thing to them that you do in real life
i couldn't keep up with it all and they got depressed and burned from a microwave oven fire (which happens every 10 minutes, if not 15)
one of them lived and i told him to extinguish the fire, then he burned too

I think you'd be able to find a fairly sizeable number of chefs who would definitelysupport adding some "role-playing" food/drink. Give them no buffs and zero filling to keep them from interfering with the 'work day' foods.
Some ideas that had been tossed around (although mainly from way back in the pre-revamp dark ages when chefs were chefs and our best food lasted 12m):
- Wedding cake with an actual tiered cake graphic. We used to have a buff-less Wedding cake schematic, but it had the same graphic as Air cake, so it was mostly pointless. If "pieces" could be sliced off as uses are consumed, that'd be even cooler.
- Alcoholic drinks that force your toon into "/mood drunk" for some duation. Throw in some client-side effects (blurry graphics, "weaving" while walking, the occasional /puke, etc) for more fun. Actually, if weaving was implemented, I'd like to sponser the "Naboo DUI 500": players get drunk and attempt the Keren swoop track.
- Eating/drinking animations or emotes. You can see this in-game now,but only for NPCs in a few cantinas (I think Eisley has a few).
- Being able to equip food/drink from your inventory and have it show up on your avatar.
Having eating/drinking be a requirement, though, will never go over well with the general population.

A question no one will know the answer to... How the heck do I hold 60 items and alot of them could be bigger than me.. in my "inventory"? and where is this inventory, in my pocket? What about packs? Or the fact that you shoot someone at the head and they miss? When punching someone hurts more than being shot at... This game has many mysteries... They also don't go to the bathroom, and are almost always straight face unless you have a mood on.

Sciguy...you know what would REALLY make my day? Holding my GLASS. That little thing right there, an animation of my picking up and putting down my glass emote would go leaps and bounds for immersion for me.
And yeah, we've been kicking around the "drunk" effect for booze AND spices since before beta. Glad to see it's still alive. I've always liked it.
