Just for the record, food is a big issue. Maybe not as large as the entire battle system, but it's relatively unfair for a class to get shafted a bit because no one uses their craft. (Not enough anyway.) And why? Because they don't matter to players.

Why? Because no one in game knows what they do. They have to check other sources. Even if they did know what they do, it wouldn't effect their stats enough. Then they'd have to look at OTHER sources again on how to balance your stats appropriately to get a proper buff or the best buff. And then? Even WITH an optimal buff, you barely notice a difference.

That is a whole series of problems right there and cutting out a large portion of the game. From gatherers keeping the materials, to the crafters doing the craft or even selling the food, to players using the food for all aspects of the game, etc. That is a system itself that is severely damaged too. Don't sell it short. It's not a 'bigger fish' at the moment because you look at it in it's current state. Nearly meaningless. And that is a problem.

Sorry for the rant.
