FSH gripe: accidentally nudging controls and cancelling fishing

[Fynlar]

I surely can't be the only one that's noticed/griped about this before.

When you accidentally nudge your directional controls while gathering as BTN or MIN: nothing happens

When you accidentally nudge your directional controls while gathering as FSH: instantly reel in your line and put away your rod. You were in the middle of a mooch? Too bad!

Why is this a thing? Why does FSH even get an action command specifically to quit fishing if it's that easy to quit fishing without it, even by accident?

I understand this can be a more convenient way to cancel fishing rather than having to hit a command to do it and I know people would complain if it was gone, so I don't think it should be taken out of the game entirely. But for the love of Hydaelyn, don't make it do this while we are in the actual process of fishing (i.e. the line has been cast out). Or at least give us the ability to toggle this "feature" appropriately.

Have you tried not hitting the directional buttons?

This bugs the carp out of me too.

Have you tried not hitting the directional buttons?

Have you tried not trolling?

This is an annoying issue and should be looked at by devs.

That, and then you have to reset all the throw away fish.

It's mildly annoying to me. What I find more annoying is that I can't discard fish from my inventory while in fishing stance -___-

Can't use food either. You have to back out of fishing stance, which resets all your releases. :|

@OP - yes, I find this terribly annoying. :|
