Remove prime meat dropping from wild babies
This makes taming of carnivores way to easy and ruins the entire taming food table balance.

Why is that a bad thing?
because instant gratification is bad

It doesn't make that much difference, it makes it easier to find the source of prime meat. Argentavis/Diplo/Bronto/Trike/Stego/penguins and other creatures was all used to get prime meat in ASE so you could tame with prime meat.
Naw it's fine as is. The baby dinos themselves being tamable with the 50% bonus levels is more of a problem. That and the fact babies are so common and easy to tame because the AI is bad and parental dinos never spawn in mate boosted pairs.

Once you have a decent argentavis is getting prime meat easy anyway some adult prime meat giving fino is quite always in range, especially in the northern halve of the map.

After all these nerfs to taming duration, does prime meat still make any difference? If you want the most efficient tame, you're working with kibbles anyway. Prime meat simply predates the introduction of kibbles in Ark and was kind of deprecated by it. I consider it just one of those many legacy things and regularly edit it to be stackable in my single player games cause I don't want to bother with the inventory clutter.

I would say 98+ percent of players don’t even get kibble it’s not efficient to make when prime does just about as good for less hassle specificity speaking about carnivores

They either need to nerf prime or make it way less available so kibble/mutton are actually somewhat viable

I think it should be left in and for new players with no flyers they will have to deal with the parent more then likely.

Should there be any nerf or decreased amount of prime given?

Because the taming food progression balance is off
