Fishermen:Has SE Forsaken us?

[Raubahn]

Ok lets get this straight:
In the last few patches every DoL (with the exception of Fisher) got a buff or a role miner got Darksteel ore,Gold ore,Astral Rock (Used for the new Relic weapons mainly) and Botanist got Spruce Log (also used in certain relic synthesis). But when we look at fisher He got like nothing not even a single item,and tbh when ever a patch comes up i hope they add some new types of fishes to Fisher but they dont and even if they do they are lame (Navigator ear Srysly?). And in terms of gil hold on dont tell me that Ears make some gils. On my server atm its sold for 20k for HQ and 2k for NQ.
And quite honestly most of the fishes that Fisher pulls which are used for some Alchemy and Cooking recipes are easily fished by fishing bots and that alone makes a total non sense.
If we compared Miner & Botanist to fisher (alone without DoH help) in terms of gil making we find that fisher is pointless.

So what is the problem with SE? why are they refusing to add anything to fishing and constantly restricting his role for Food and (Crystals meh). Am not against that but look at it from a point where most fishes that are used with alchemy or cul are either cheap cuz they are fished from normal fishing which bots enjoys it.

Oh and just wait we do have Legandary fishes but still SE refuse to put them in the game why i really dont know.

Here are the legandry fishes:

Ideas from a Forsaken Fisherman

1-Put a Repeatable quest for legendary fishes only kinda like "Inside the belly" from XI which gives certain legendary fishes gives weapons,armor,quest items, and materials from cutting a legendary fish by talking to a certain NPC. (I know alot of you will troll rage at me for this idea saying we dont need XI)
some may ask how does or will the fish give me a weapon or an armor it makes no sense?
well the "Megaldon" fish Description says it can eat a whole adult Roegadyen so whats the problem if the Roegadyen had an armor and you got it from him or a weapon, infact some fishes may swallow some items or material right?.

2- Fish ranking and Fish measurements (YES i want to compete in contests with my fellow Fishermen and LS members.)

3-Legendary fishes non stackable + obtained from fishing schools as a way to fight Fishing Bots (Dont u deny it.)

please let me put fish into my armor!

it makes total sense!


hate to say it, but if they are going by what should go into items, fisherman may always get the short straw

U got me wrong what I meant is the fish has ate a guy who has an armor not the other way around of wearing fish armor

Fisher is kind of a gatherer that's meant for pointless idle fun, anyway. It's really not important (or good) at all.

Fishing will probably be forever tied to cooking and alchemy. What you are really looking for is expensive, difficult to make consumables that require very special fish to create.

Fish raising and racing!
And Gambling!

You have been forsaken.

There is no hope, but there is a choice.

You can hang yourself with fishing line. But you MAY survive.
Or join what you have hunted and give yourself to the water!
Or you can do the super secret ending where you pee in the lake and the chain reaction turns all life in the universe into Sahigan! Of course, you'll still die.

.... wait... wrong company.

NEVERMIND!
They're probably waiting to patch it into 2.0 with the rest of the changes.

[Airget]

I bet they are waiting til 2.0 to add legendary fish, odds are they want these fish to be obtained in a different method rather then the only concept fishing has right now which is bait, hook and catch. Odds are legendaries will be challenge to obtain so you can look forward to the hope that these fish will be hard to obtain through botting. As for why Fishers are left out of weapons/armor that's another thing that will most likely be 2.0 related. Fishing will gain it's economical standing when it comes to PVP, odds are a variety of medicines will be added which will be of use in changing the tide of a battle in a pvp match which will make certain fish popular to catch.

Ya I know it sucks to wait but hey look at leathercrafters they still only have DoM/W to rely on when it comes to obtaining the hides they need to produce gear which makes it harder for them to create HQ pieces cause of the lack of a DoL which can obtain HQ at an easier rate then DoM/W lol.

But ya, fishermen aren't forsaken, it's just there changes can't be realized til after 2.0 is released when medication can be more than just a PVE thing.

Adding Legendary Fish would be fantastic. Fishing is one of my favorite activities in XIV and there's not much to do besides:

A) Using fishing to level ALC / CUL for free
B) NPCing grade 5 fish for gil
C) Selling Coral in wards
D) Going after the Rod of the Luminary

Once I finish the RotL (76.4% done and about to hang myself) and CUL (should cap this around the time I finish RotL), I don't see any reason to really continue fishing at the present. Adding legendary fish would be awesome assuming that either 1) they are utilized in useful recipes, 2) they can randomly provide loot akin to the FFXI "Inside the Belly" quest, or 3) they can be used for another rod upgrade akin to the Ebisu.

Welcome to Disciples of Land in general. SE's forsaken discipline.

Where is DoL/DoH artifact armor??? Seriously, they are classes just like DoW/M - they deserve equal treatment.
