Stamina system seems fine to me and I've been playing since EA release. It's about managing your bars. Previous foods were over the top, now you gotta think about it and manage it better. Still, with the right foods, it's not a big deal. Just have to think a little more during combat. The days of wading into 20 mobs and spamming attacks are over, you'll just deplete yourself and get mobbed fast. Have to be a little more tactical but not overly much. Just a bit more conservative in stamina-draining actions. Play smart and survive.
