Please Nerf Fishing

Fisherpeople as it stands are way overpowered.

They can endlessly cast their line without consequences or thought. This makes for boring and simplistic game play.

I recommend implementing resources that are required in order to cast. These resources would allow one cast every five or so minutes. That way it would force the player to utilize fishing gear with recovery glyphs in order to cast more frequently.

Implementing this resource system would enhance the economy and gameplay in general by encouraging players to grind for BIS fishing gear or buy similar but ultimately weaker gear from a crafter.

Thoughts?

    Hm, yes. Fisherpeople have had it too easy for too long! Easy-buttoning their way to massive perfect roe profits and the best title in the game, no strategy, no counterplay - this is how that one game died a horrible death, letting people just have things with no effort!

    (And the ones in Cyrodiil are the absolute worst!)

    LOL! I have 3 Master Anglers and I suck at PVP. I can't tell you how many times I was ganked from behind while fishing in Cyrodiil.

    The tediousness of fishing is punishment enough.........we don't need to be punished further. ;)

    If I see you fishing in Cyrodiil, I promise to leave you alone.

    Because if I can see you, you're either not a PvPer at all... or there's a nightblade around here, just waiting for me to move on you. >.>

    Funny thing is.........when I was fishing down by AD's base camp, the AD people did leave me alone. It was DC that kept sending me into Oblivion. This is why I hate DC and nightblades! (just jk'ing).

    On these forums we have to call them trash posts. star star star post doesn't seem as interesting to read.

    If this is purely just a trash post sure, I can accept it. However with the number of crying posts which people try to hide behind trash post has cynical people like myself reading everything that way.

    Ha you were well unlucky then, the whole time I was in Cyrodiil fishing for the title I only ever saw 1 other person and they ran straight past me and carried on going! lol

    They should be required to heavy-attack each time they cast their line to regain stamina for fishing.

    And I say don't stop with fishing, this should apply to all forms of crafts and trade. It breaks my immersion to be able to refine hundreds of items without feeling fatigued.

    Clearly this is not the intended way to play.

    This is not the Elder Roes Online; nerf fisherpeople!
