Here's one I didn't see in the posts.
You can no longer view the buff stats on food from a vendor or in your inventory. The buffs still work, but buyers can no longer check out the buffs before they buy, or once they are in their invnetory.
I think this issue relates to food that was created before the big patch. When I look at my newly created food on the vendor it displays fine and I have not many problems selling starshine suprise and other Dom arts foods until I get good and making bread and other sundry items.
Heh, a month or two ago I might have agreed with some of the people about how slow the experience gain is, but now that I am closing in on Master Chef, I feel that I have EARNED the title. Once you get into something past wastril bread, your grind does get easier, but it's still a nice sense of satisfaction. If they raise the exp up, we'll have more chefs.... making us less valuable... with exception to a few food/drinks, is pretty hard to do.
I think some of the dev's answers were half-hearted lies. How could the developers be so clueless about their own game? I think it might possibly be just another way to 'stall for more time' without losing more face.
Of course they don't know anything about factory bugs (after two months of screaming it, /bug, customer service, etc)...

Combat Chef: "Kill, Cook, Repeat!"
I think Flavor is one of our worst bugs. Most food in entree III have really low flavor, even with very good ressources to cook em. It must be a bug. Even with cooking IV I can't experiment duration enough to justify making those items. I'd rather stick with trimpian (although it has the same bug, has better starting stats) then do Patots.
Once you get hides or minerals in a food or drink schematic the flavor gets good values. But with just cereal/meat/veggies/fruits you get crappy results most of the time. This is totaly unlogical as hides and minerals do not have flavor stats.
Eggs are a joke!
Can't have a harvestor for eggs!
I went searching for eggs on corellia. I ran from Tyrena to Coronet, then to Bela Vistal, from there i ran up to Kor Vella and stopped. I was going to run up to the lastcity but after i counted all 20 of my eggs it wouldn't have been worth it. Anyway, I ran to every lair/nest around. I didn't run straight lines, i zig zagged as to find more lairs. All I go was 20 eggs for about 3 hours work. That is like 6.3 eggs and hour. If other crafting classes only got 6.3 resources and hour this would be an outrage. I would like to see the weaponsmith that can only collect 6.3 units of metal an hour. You need to do something about this. BTW still can make crates of food, and especially if eggs/milk are required.
"How does UXP work with feeding our pets?
If you own the pet, you will get no Usage Experience. If it is someone elses pet, you will receive Usage Experience. This way you still gain usage experience from those who use your food to feed their pets."
Well, that's nice, except for the fact that CH can just /forage for food when they need it. CH needs some kind of incentive to buy food from Chefs. Maybe let the buffs apply to pets, or include food that will help them grow faster. Also, maybe make it so pets HAVE to eat, like maintenance on a harvester or something.

Not sure how other people are doing, but I sell out my stewed gwouch grind to days in a row now. I've been placing around 75 stacks of 4+ charges on my vendor and have returned the next evening with pagefuls of successful auction emails. I also get one or two emails asking when I'm going to restock. If factories weren't bugged, I'd be able to make a decent living just selling pet food.
Ithorian mist would be much faster to grind out, but I'd lose out all the resources without any sort of profit.
My policy on pet food sales is 25cr per a charge. Right now I'm just making back my initial investment (avg 2 cr per resource), but this trickle of cash is niceas it takes care of a few harvesters everyday. I also get occassional spikes in UXP so no complaints. Once I can get the factories to run properly, I'll be able to pull in a decent living not counting sunburn and other uber food sales.
What we need is an option when searching lairs just like harvesting does.
When an animal dies I have the option of getting bone, meat, or hide 100% of the time. If I wanted some hide I can get hide no problem. /harvest hide, /harvest bone, and /harvest meat work great.
With eggs it's a huge pain. While searching a lair it randomly picks for something you get or sometimes fail outright. When it does work it pulls out 3 - 4 units of eggs that might not stack with the stuff you got from the last lair search. That is if you got eggs that time.
This randomness of gathering, non-stacking, and tinyquantity for eggsups the time needed to collect eggs by a large amount and needs to be fixed.
While we don't need eggs right now, I hope they keep this in mind when theyput in some way for us tocollect milk.
Bwahahaha.... that is hilarious.
I think I will spend the evening hovering around Baz Nitches with a large tube taunting them.

LOL Liv!!
People are trying to sell me eggs for outrageous prices and they seem so disappointed when I tell them I don't need no stinkin eggs! Few eggs have really good stats and I'm not paying 1K for an egg. Now bring me some milk and we'll talk.

Note to self: Do *not* read Liv's posts while at work. It's hard enough alt-tabbing back to email or something when the boss walks by, but if I have to hold in laughter like that again I'll get a brain hemmorhage.
