Do you think Fishing needs removed?

Seriously what good does it do? 95% of all fish have no purpose and isn't used for anything or anyone. It's only purpose is fodder for Culn. desynth, of which gets you nothing but sand so what is really the point of Culn even being able to desynth in the first place?

Just annoying to do the fishing quests to get bait you'll never use again, to go fish in an area you'll never fish in again, to catch a fish that's entire purpose of being in the game is to be a requirement for a quest.

A lot of people like fishing and the achievements associated with them. If you don't like it you don't have to fish.

How to tell everyone you've never leveled fishing without saying you've never leveled fishing.

great.

So just call it a limited job already and remove the crap. That's all it is, the original limited job. No good for anything relevant and not used for anything of any worth at all and just for completetionist sake. At least Blue Mage has a giant warning on it saying "NOT A REAL JOB!! DO NOT GET HOPES UP USEFUL FOR NOTHING".

Fishing gives you the false illusion that's a real job.

Except the aethersands that you can get with it that are used in all relevant crafting recipes for gear. Or the fish that is used in CUL recipes for buff food. Then there's the fact that we have fish tanks, and fish portraits, as well as gear that can come from desynthing, some of which sells for a rather hefty profit. Fishers make extremely good gil, especially when so many people see it as useless because they've not bothered to look at it.

I've actually played with folks who love fishing and they do that in their down time. It's a great little thing to do if you just wanna hang out with friends and just do something. People genuinely enjoy the job. I don't believe that warrants for it to be a 'limited job'. It's just fishing...

There's other content to do besides fishing?

This whole story sounds fishy to me.

I'm not even on that. It's just annoying doing the basic quests because my own stupid abilities are gated behind it. Go to this zone to meet with somebody to fish there even though you'll literally never enter that zone again to fish. Oh find out you need a specific bait you'll never use again so go back to another town to get it. Go back and fish for one specific fish that has literally zero purpose in being in game except as a quest item. Repeat literally every single job quest.

Why is it that leveling it from 1 to 70 gives you zero fish that have any use whatsoever for anyone? Why is 90% of all fish in game not used by anyone for anything. The only fish that are worth a damn are ones that desynth into stuff and those are only fished about once ever few hours for 10 mins at a time.

It really sounds like you expect it to have a purpose beyond itself which can be a foreign concept in some games. Just because you feel you have no reason to go back to zones and fish doesn't mean there isn't a reason, just because you think only the desynth ones are worth anything is on you. If you aren't baiting right now, you should take the perspective that not everything in an MMO needs to serve a mechanical purpose to justify its existence.

Also BLU does have its uses and reasons for existing even if people were disappointed with it.

If you don't like getting the bait and what not from those quests for fishing, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) you could just buy the fish off the MB for very little and get the quest done.

It's fishing. Don't do it if you don't care about it.

Notfishstanding the outsanding display of overt entitlement radiating off of you in waves - do you reely need to fish? Like... it's there for the people that want it, minnow? You don't have to like everyfin in the game.

I love fishing.
I do wish more fish had use other than ink displays but there's a lot of fish out there.
Really wish they could all be displayed in aquariums though.

Why remove it coz you think it's lackluster, instead of coming up with ideas how to make it better? :3

We totally need a fish market, daily and weekly catches that we can turn in for gil or something....

I… would be so bummed out if fishing got taken out of this game. Especially now that I just got into it just because of the achievements alone lol. You can most certainly make money with fishing, if you pay attention to what sells on the market. It’s like the blue mage of gatherers with its own personal content made for those who like it. Not something you need to do unless you just like to have everything leveled.

I think we got baited !

This is the first time I've ever posted on these forums, purely because this post gave me a visceral reaction.
I own every single fish in the game and have been fishing for years now, and I cannot even fathom that someone would want to take it away from the game. For what purpose? It provides many people with a long-term achievement, and was my main reason for even staying subbed for months and months.
In fact, I hope they make fishing even more hardcore. Add more exclusive mounts and titles to the job, make it so you're rewarded for spending years of your time catching everything that the game has to offer. I hope everyone comes to love fishing, and I'll probably never stop doing it. If they end up removing fishing from the game, I cannot see myself staying subbed for a long period of time.

Uhhhhhh
No.

How about you just remove your character and start over without unlocking fisher so you don't have to worry about it anymore.

Fishing is fun/relaxing/a challenge for a lot of people. Your reason for removing it is dumb. You can just.... not fish....

I'm 6 fish away from the Big Fish title, how dare you suggest taking that away.

Fishing is probably one of the most social things I do with friends. Hangout and fish for some rare-ish decent selling fish and just talk for hours. So aside from the myriad things others have already said.. tack that on. I also wish they expanded or increased the boat fishing instances.

I don't think Fishing should be removed, but definitely could use improvement since it's kind of purely just about RNG to get whatever you need for crafting or quests.

There is also the fact that the generic aethersands (the ones that you can get with any of the three DoL) usually can only be gathered during specific windows for MIN and BTN, but FSH can usually try for the relevant fish at any time of the day.

Dopamine bud. Precious dopamine. Nothing like getting that catch after baking your brain through layers of RNG and spending a couple of weeks trying to close out one fishing hole.

This thread is bait. I don't sea why anyone would genuinely be so salty over an optional feature. Lots of people enjoy fishing, myself included, and expecting them to delete an entire job for the halibut is unreasonably shellfish. Dolphinitely a troll thread.

So remove something you don't like, thus screwing over the people who do like it. As apposed to you just not fishing and you get the same result in the end.

i hate it here

Bait... Fishing.... ugh. :D People can be better than this.

Content doesn't need to be "useful" to be good and enjoyable.

have you seen the forums?

I think you are made of stupid for even suggesting it. Seriously, who do you think you are, the center of the universe? If anything needs to be removed it's all the people calling for parts of the game to be removed because they don't like or use it themselves, and that alone is cause for nothing. Please motivate your requests.

If they were ever to remove fishing from this game, I'd fight someone.
