It would be really nice if events in zones would include fishing e.g. increased bite chance, chance of multiple fish in one pull, possibility of event loot boxes dropping etc.
Second this. Or an event that’s just for fishing, maybe double drops for bait (worms, crawlers etc) from relevant sources in addition to more fish and have a daily to ‘Catch X [Water type] fish.’
But since fishing doesn’t seem to be popular enough to justify an event to itself, doubling drops from the fishing nodes in existing events would be fine too.
I agree, fishing could really use some love. Perhaps a few item sets from fishing would be nice. I recently ground through every single zone for each achievement and quit once done. There's nothing to draw the average player to it unless you just like it to begin with.
