I guess it will not be implemented, but just reminded four hobbits making fire on top off hill and getting into trouble.
The thing is that best food is the one that is just cooked - not the one that we carry for hours or days in the pocket.
But to make fresh food we need fire and fire is making light and smoke.
So if we want best buffs in the game we need to take provisioner (one of team could be) and find a camp, we could also make campfire.
Then take a 3 minute stop for the provisioner to cook things. Not too long, so not all get completely bored and not too short so:
- in PvP other Alliance could see fire light in night or fire smoke in day
- in PvE just spent short time until team completes
If done this way I could hope following to happen:
- more realizm
- still theme park, but just a taste of sandbox if you need to find good place for fire
- some risk related to letting all know where team is preparing for battle
The step would be optional and only needed when best buffs are required.
Killer for this is the repeatable task needed, and I guess not easy to do by developers because would need few elemets to be prepared (placing campfire, smoke from fire, hot food option buffs etc.).
