I Cook For No Reason </3.....Hear Me Out Here!

[Jshrimp]

Greetings fellow adventurers!

I'm a tad curious if I'm the only one that feels there should be a setting when placing a meal in my house or FC apartment that anyone can eat that placed item?

It's a damper to my crafting abilities and or hosting experiences! If I wanted to be the only one to eat my food, I'd carry it in my inventory for "on the go" purposes where it's more effective. If I want it to remain as a decoration I can use this setting to do so. I love the crafting aspect of this game and not being able to share the meals I cook that are placeable is a bit depressing as a chef! By the Twelve, my house used to be an eatery godsdamnit! There was no food to be had for guests which ultimately defeated the purpose, leaving such an empty feeling</3 :'(. Housing guests and Free Company Members within my FC Room should be able to get hospitality they deserve if I'm willing to serve!

I'm also positive this would be a heart-felt idea for the role-playing community of the game as well. Eating a homecooked meal with a friend or friends might be an awesome time to tell the tales of our adventures! Maybe even share a meal with someone special to you in a room decorated with romance!

Hope this isn't a duplicate post but I haven't seen a thread on this yet. Hoping I'm amongst others who feel it would be a simple yet impactful change to housing!

With nothing but positivity,
Swan Bastion

I realize my subject line should've been "Hospitality They Deserve if I'm Willing to Serve"!

I would also love to see this setting added to the game. As well as something to turn rare/holiday food items into props so they can be placed and not accidentally eaten.

I thought you were able to do this previously?

If it's changed, it's because we've had previous posts with people being frustrated that others do eat the food that someone put out to be decorative.

Or maybe that's an FC issue and it's never been available for private houses.

Considering the number of interactive objects that would make sense for any player to use, not just the house owner/tenant, this is pretty unlikely to happen. Maybe they'll eventually come up with something like the feasts in WoW where at least party members can eat a placed food item.

It's been a FC house issue, with FC members eating food that was intended for decoration.
