The timer for ocean fishing is ridiculous!

[LolitaBansheeMeru]

Do we own the boat we go fishing in in-game? are we able to prepare provisions and plan a route in a single instant as soon as we decide we want to go fishing? Is this hypothetical own boat open to the public to jump on and join you?

If it wasn't time limited, the ammount of players doing it would dry up too quickly, everyone would finish with it in a few days and never do it again, leaving those who want to do it weeks from now with nobody to do it, and thus the mount out of their reach.

Honestly... If they gave us our own personal boats for it I would do it forever every singe day when I'm done with all the qs

Expect In real life you can do that as long as you own a boat lol

Right. Because real life boat trips intended to haul in fish don't need planning, coordination, provisions, and preparation. Boat owners totally just go out to the uninhabitable open sea whenever they please.

I know FFXIV is a virtual world, but those playing it still live on planet Earth. Most of us anyway.
