Feasting is kind of gay...

The idea that you spam an alt with charisma, and have him sit at a HQ table with food on it, yet he never eats from is just absurd.
It's also tedious, why should i light a bonfire and use a charisma alt everytime i wanna eat?

The idea is good in a single player roleplaying game where everything you do is for the lulz, but it's a hassle in a mmo. If this was taken away, the game would only get better.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

I dislike bonfire feasting as well. There is a certain charm to the idea of it, but I never do it. It's tedious. I doubt the bonfire feast is used very often by multiple live people, typically its going to be one or two people logging accounts on to increase the bonus.

I'm not worrying about the quality/stat rat race this world, but I see how feasting is a big annoyance to anyone who is. Rather see bonfire feasting reduce travel weariness or maybe lower the wear on symbel while the feast is active.

It should do nothing like the RP object it is.

I agree with you overtyped. I suggested this back in 2017.

  • Remove the buff when multiple characters eat at a bonfire. Anything that can gain you such an advantage like that with alternate characters should be removed.
Extremely popular.

But the game punishes you for not doing it by reducing the amount of FEPs you get from further eating via the hunger system.
