Going after the big fish in the "old world" I am increasingly becoming frustrated that, even with Heavensward-Gear, it is so hard to catch them. I am aware they are supposed to be hard to catch and a challenge and bla bla, but there is no skill in fishing - it is literally all just luck. Want a big fish that you have to mooch for? Hope you get a HQ fish, hope the big fish hooks and then hope you land it - all based on stats, luck, and way too much RNG.

Shouldn't especially fishing be something that is skill based? Like a minigame, anything to make it feel more like you actually did something when you catch this elusive bugger you have been hunting for so long, instead of thinking "Wow, I finally got lucky"?
