It's a documented and published set of facts in software development that the team designing a system is never the best people to test it out. They're too close to it and don't see all the holes. Give that system to a bunch of people who don't know the internals and let them poke at it, and then you get to see where the leaks are that need plugged. That's what we're here for.

There wasn't time to test this, they were busy doing everything else, and in general it is often easier, and better to get us to test things. I know it feels kinds weird, but this game isn't supposed to be well rounded. The developers want to make it well rounded, but right now their focus is on making the game itself.

The food system shift is radically different than previous worlds. As much as it sucks, because of pvp, they are always better off making something bad, and improve it. If it is too good, then nerfs hurt people who are behind the most.

The chance for foods to satiate is too high, and the amount that they satiate is often as large, if not larger. All foods in the game are like this with the exception of kebab meat, which a lot of people have been eating because of that reason. The satiation percentages on food are absurd; they need to be tuned down. It's like the devs forgot that you can't reset your satiations anymore, but still went on to increase satiety on food by a ridiculous amount.
I like apple juice.
