Obviously not, but have you even read the interview? Yoshida is rather clearly stating that fishing is something you're meant to do when you've got nothing else to do and won't require any particular thought or actions.

Not only did I read the interview, I watched it take place live! :O Please refrain from using condescension in place of an argument.

"Clearly stating" that fishing will be less about button-mashing does not necessarily equate to lack of involvement, and because that's all that's really been revealed, it could just as easily work out that you've got a more intuitive, concise gathering mechanic than simply "press Enter five times to mine fish". We won't actually know until we get to see it/try it ourselves. Once that time comes, critiques for or against the new system would have a lot more ground to stand on than what everyone's basing assumptions right now.

Please look forward to it.

I wasn't being condescending at all, I was asking a legitimate question.

Of course I'll wait to try it, but when his prime example of fishing is something to do while you're waiting in line for a raid is telling to say the least.

Please look forward to it.

I don't think I will, I'm glad I got the class to 50 while it was somewhat fun and engadgeing.

The problem, and this literally just hit me, is that bots will completely corner that market. Because he's making it so dead easy to bot, whatever few fish might have some worth due to crafts will be controlled by the bots.

Oh don't worry, bots won't be involved because they will have absolutely nothing of value to bot for! Isn't it genius? <3
