Petition: Ratio of pelts to meat for dens

TygerMeow · 07-18-2007, 04:50 PM

I've already got a T6 tailor, but I've started a new one on a PvP server. While leveling up, it has struck me again how bad the ratio of pelts to meat is while harvesting creature dens (and the like). On a recent 2 hour harvesting tour in Antonica, my ratio was one pelt to 2.5 meat. So for every 20 pelts I received, I had an entire stack of useless meat.

If provisioners and tailors both got their major components from dens, then a proper ratio would 1:1. IE one pelt harvested for every one meat. However, 1) only food (which is theoretically half of what a provisioner makes) uses products from a creature den, so we're talking at most half of their end products 2) there are gardens and also fishing and the like that produce at least half of 'good' food items in different tiers (some tiers the 'best' food item is based on meat) so a practical ratio should be at least 3:1 pelt to meat if not higher.

Tailors, if you agree that the ratio of pelt to meat is way off, please sign this petition.

Provisioners, if I've understated your need for meat, please feel free to reply to this thread and correct me.

I have 2 responses based on recent postings to this forum:

1) The change you propose is already in the works and should hit with the next update (based on hearsay from players)

2) Petitions are somehow in violation of the forum rules (based on a comment made by Domino in one of her posts)

I dunno if either of these assertions is true, but prepare to hear both of them repeatedly from folks who browse this forum.

1) Correct, this should happen with the coming game update, it was announced a week or two back on Allakhazam in their preview of Game Update 37 changes. 2) Also correct, you can find the forum rules of conduct here and they state that you may not use the official forums as a staging ground for creating general unrest within the game or forums, such as sit-ins, polls, petitions, etc. Incidentally, though not directly related to this thread, the rules of conduct also state you may not post topics addressed directly to another person (that's what the private message system is for) and that "things the community or development teams will most likely NOT respond to" include any topics addressed directly to a red name or dev. As it says, "If we responded to them, then you would see hundreds of posts trying to get our attention this way. Threads with a name in the title will almost never see an official response." This is why I will generally try my best to avoid answering any thread addressed directly to me or demanding a response, just for future reference. SMILEY
