Fishing in ARR

[Pandemonium]

IMO they just didn't have the time/will to completely revamp fishing so they've turned it into something mind-numbingly simple with the excuse that you can use it to "relax and chat".

I can relax and chat while sitting around town just fine thank you.

Seeing as nobody has yet experienced the 'New fishing' we can't yet discern if it is mind bogglingly simple.

Why do people adopt this "It will be the worst possible outcome, and the <insert feature> will be broken!"

They haven't said "It will be autofishing" they said, "Best to experience it yourself" until then, all this conjecture about how 'broken' fishing has become, is pretty useless.

They said "Best to experience it yourself" because they don't want to say it's auto-fishing. If the best of variety they can offer in their description is "there will be different types of fish" then you know it's not going to be a very complex system.

I'm no fanatic of fishing but I can definitely see why people like my love Llen are disappointed. Of course we might all be wrong but all signs are not looking very positive.
