    Numbers 225 and 226... I don't know why I even come to this forum anymore.

    Bad at fishing? I have at least one of every "legendary." I've had my Luminary since 1.0. I've caught well, well over 22,000 fish since 2.0 started. I know exactly which baits are useful, which aren't, and what fish does what. Yes, I could cut down the amount of bait I have, make sure I only carry the five or six that actually do something. But that goes against the bullshit SE fed us about the new fishing, doesn't it?

    "A laid-back activity you can do while waiting to do other stuff. Pull out a rod near a body of water and go fishing." This is the design for fishing according to Yoshi. If they wanted us to be able to just stop what we're doing, pull out a rod, and start fishing no matter where we were in Eorzea, we'd need many types of bait. Maybe half a page, maybe a full page, who cares. The fact remains that to keep this activity casual and instantly accessible no matter where we are, we need to carry more than two or three types of bait. ANY space taken up by bait in the inventory is space lost to something else. Like fish.

    The fact remains that a tacklebox, while not something most people would appreciate, is still something I think is a necessity. It's completely ridiculous to keep baits and lures in our inventory, especially when we're the only class that has to put up with it. They got rid of arrows after all. I don't want them to get rid of bait, I just want it out of my regular inventory.

    For what it's worth, I agree with you. Thank you for being civil.

    Not really. I carry about four lures on me at all times. That's it, and I presumably play Fishing the "bullshit" way SE intended. There really is no reason to be carrying seventy different baits... That's utterly absurd, more so when most of the baits in the game are sold where they're needed, especially Dune/Skyfishing baits.

    I carry more food and potions on me than I do lures and baits, I stand by my last post and really don't see how I was being uncivil, thanks for presumably blacklisting me over that though.
