Wait, are you saying now that respect isn't based on expense OR usefulness? Look, if you want to defend your view, just get to the point and say exactly why cooking is not a respectable 99 skill. Otherwise, there's no point in arguing--you can just say "I don't like cooking" and be done, fair enough? It's not what the thread is about anyway. It's the 99 noobs get when they are desperate for a cape. there i have said it. There is a reason why most 99 cookers have 13,035,000 or so xp you know? 43,226 people have 99 cooking around 10,000 from 13,034,000-13,057,000
