Did you like Fishing in FFXI? Most boring thing ever. Push a button, fish caught. Push a button, fish caught. Until they changed it after NA launch, partially to combat RMT. And then later tweaked for the same reason. And then later changed a little more. And then...

Point being: introducing Fishing at phase 4 doesn't mean it's locked that way forever. Any more than PvP, housing, free company points, and other things that we won't see until Phase 4, launch or beyond.
You're right, but it does mean that of all the classes, we'll have the "least finished" class if it requires the most tweaks post-launch. How is that fair? I suppose as far as fisher population they've decided they don't care.

I still think we're too polite. We keep everything in one place, instead of spamming general discussion. Maybe we should start doing that.
