    Missing gathering mini game

    What has happened to the mini games we knew from 1.0?

    Lately I leveled my botanist to 50 and it wasn't the same as before but I could live, more or less, with the compromiss.
    On friday I tried the fisher. Oh boy, what have you done? We had to "fight" the fish to reel in. Now we watch/hear a rod and klick when the rod moves... Is that really all what is needed?
    This is a compromiss I can't live with. It needs to be mentioned that a huge amount of fish is useless too.

    Has there ever been made a statement from a responsible developer?

    *shocked*

    a dice normally has six sides
    a pyramid has 5 sides
    a toast has 2 sides
    AND I CAN'T PREDICT WHICH SIDES IT FALLS TO.

    Yes there has been.

    Fishing was deliberately devalued. Probably as an anti bot measure. Not that bots couldn't fish in 1.xx.....

    Yep gathering changed so much from 1.0. I preferred 1.0 version better in mining botany and fishing.

    Isn't it called/named a longe time achievement?

    At 1.0 Release it was intended that gathering is a "full job". This in mind they made a mini game. A kind challenge. Now we have the disgusting system we have in every game.

    Search node -> pick -> pick -> search again to pick...

    Not that they eased the system itself, no they even placed the nodes in a tiny place.

    Was it so bad to choose which hight and ankle to chop?

    *mumbles* fishing oh dear * mumble* what have they done, a pitty * stumples out of thread again*
