4 Deep is a little late for this, but next time Phoebus tip is good to follow :P.

Personally I think they should suck it up and do the tacklebox, I don't care if there is a slight delay to load the data because it isn't loaded automatically at each zone in / login (some ghetto pointer to a small tackle database). I like the idea of different tools you need to communicate with nature (sort of how Yoshida worded it).

I would definitely like to see some interaction and more direct control though (Our GP?).
