This wouldn't be a huge issue if SE didn't invalidate old content every 1-2 patches, but since they decided to use that model, they have to lighten up on the RNG to compensate.

Have you ever played any other MMOs?

RNG is in every MMO on the market some just hide it better then others

As someone pointed out so you brag that got it....

Sorry I don't want everything to be handed to me or so easy to get. Since yes RNG is annoying but I like feeling special

If you think fishing in this game is "hard" you should try XI, were you could fish mob that oneshotted you, if you were unlucky. No to mention you had to travler to dangerous places often.

Compared to it, FFXIV is a picnic.

There is nothing to brag about when RNG rolls in your favor. You are not more "skilled" or "special" because of game of chance. The reliance on pure chance in many of the grinds means that perseverance has no relevance in acquiring key items in this game.

This is how I feel about the entire fishing class now. Been saying it since beta, so it's nice to see someone else sharing the same thought.

I would prefer it to be hard and take skill. I think that is the main issue we are bringing up.

Right, because any of the above things I mentioned are handed to you. If you think hundreds of hours is a reasonable time sink to get one piece of vanity gear, then you need your head examined.
