I consider this to be the biggest problem myself, aside from the lack of actual new skills other than precise touch and the specialist abilities. It would have been great if they gave us really difficult recipes with debuffs similar to the Ixali dailies from before. Successful completion of these recipes could be a way of getting a larger red scrip bonus or something.
