Fishing Should get shards

[BHolland]

My problem is if they wanted to make it so usless its not botted or easy why not make the mini game more advanced and difficult I remember the 1.0 version at launch seemed more along these lines..Are their still gonna be hackers? Yes! But atleast its not as mindless as hitting a node and hitting select button a few times repeat.

Like I said earlier and as others have said SE just need to put the recipes that were in 1.0 that allowed and Alchemists to create crystals and shards from fish. The higher level the fish the more shards or crystals the fish yielded, it also different fish yielded different types of crystals and shards so if you wanted a certain type of crystal or shard you would target a specific fish.

I thought it was pretty good and allowed both alchemy and fishing to make some gil. The higher level you got in both your fields the higher the amount of shards/crystals would yield. I really don't know why SE removed it, well I suppose it was to get rid of the fish bots but now we have mining and botany hacks so that obviously didn't work.

I understand why the devs said they not want it to be more than just a relaxing hobby but they already have food with fish in it so they kind of changed that. I am for shards from fishing with a net or new tool but I'm only for it if they deal with the botting problem first. Because fishbots if not already around will definitely be around when it is more profit oriented like they do now with shards.

Shards would barely ever sell if they brought those recipes back, especially now that we have auto-craft.

Not having the recipes makes a valuable market, and really the only craft that shard farming is terrible for is Cooking as you use the same amount of shards as a piece of gear, but for a single consumable and is in serious need of rebalancing.

Fishing getting shards would at least give people that level it more money-making options and increase the supply and lower prices to more reasonable amounts.
