No motion fishing / gathering

[Mushy]

I enjoy fishing in most games I have played, that offer it. Especially MMOs, as you typically can form bonds with people fishing at the same docks as you. In Final Fantas XI when they added the motion to the fishing line, I was even more hooked(and further revisions followed though I quit before CoP.)

What this game is severally lacking, that each installment in the series offers(usually multiple) is minigames. I have argued for tetra, triad, or unique card game since beta. While fishing, mining, botanist right now has its practically identical gathering mechanic. What it lacks is fun in my opinion.

I assumed this would be addressed eventually, and it was! It said we would not be getting motion type gathering(unless I missed the part where he mentioned that only being temporary) he said we would not be getting it.

You may notice I have not touched fishing in this game besides beta, because I was saving it for motion controls. What could be the reason behind him not wanting to revamp it. Is the community satisfied with the control scheme for the long haul?

Sorry if this sounds like more complaining, but I am just let down, and stick with mining until he changes his mind

tl;dr - would you like to see gathering(fishing, mining, botanist) have a revamped motion control through directional input through keyboard, mouse, or controller. Each unique to the job. Or would you be fine with the one we have now for more than another year?
