Fishing in ARR

[LlenCoram]

People who dont like gathering and just want to get it done I think will like that but I think its a horrible idea lol

I'd prefer an immersive experience that has a minigame that relates to the activity.

Then like the battle classes who are supposed to be designed to be fun and to their job, the crafting and gathering are designed similarly. If you dont like playing GLD you dont play GLD, so if you dont want to learn how to play Fisher you dont play Fisher - I dont like the idea "Well I need fish for my cooker but I hate having to learn how to do this so make it easy so I can do it quickly and trivilize the other Fishers ability".

Like I hate tanking so make tanking easy because I want to be able to do everything.

Well, how about you dont do everything lol. (General "you" statements, not actually directed at you Gin )

My thoughts exactly. I can understand changing it so gathering/crafting classes aren't a part of the main storyline anymore, but Yoshi went too far with the dumbing down. Not everything has to be accessible to everyone. Some people will not like any system, no matter how easy it is, and there's nothing that can change that. Instead of trying to cater to them, why not cater to the people who genuinely like the class.

I'm right there with you on this. I'm lost as to why they want to attract people who don't like gathering in the first place. But then, it seems that there are actually people who gather for reasons other than because they like it, and i guess we should accept them as part of the equation....?
