Now add any other elements into this: short time window, long cast time, rare time window (some take weeks to be active), low hook rate, low catch rate, or any combination of those. Many of those big fish require weeks or even months to catch (only one of ~12 guys got Cinder surprise in the last window I took part of, and they told us, they were on this one since the patch - almost 3 months!) This takes longer than your average Ultimate prog!
1) While I think more fish should be useful in recipes and things like that, the ones in Lake Tusi Mek'ta are not an issue.
Getting the Eryops is basically the biggest "RNG challenge" in this specific spot. Once you have this one, both the priest and the serpent of Ronka are guaranteed to bite...
+ you can prepare an HQ Eryops prior to the priest fishing window's opening. That's how I got my serpent of Ronka this morning after only 6 attempts at it.

2) With this I agree, the ones that have you stuck in one area for a few hours suck are poorly designed.

3) Also not an issue. The rare frequency of the Ruby Dragon is what makes it tedious, not the fact that you need another big fish to get it. Especially considering the big fish is not hard to catch at all.
There are a few similar fish in 5.5, and they are mostly fine IMO because they pop multiple times a day.

4) It doesn't take nearly as long as Ultimate prog. Yes it can take 3 months, but you can only try it for about 10 minutes a week, maybe less. So I don't see the problem with that.


I understand your criticism, but I don't understand what your solution is. Reducing any aspect of RNG? Making all the fish easier to get? Isn't it specifically what they have done for the ARR/HW fish?...
It just sounds like you are forcing yourself to try enjoying big fishing when it's clearly not for you.
