if earlier post came to pass then fishing fumbles that bring aggro mobs would
need to be small if you stay out of the ocean. i have never seen HUGE,
HORRIBLE, ANCIENT Squid in a river or the shallows. or seen aggro whale sharks
or manta rays, ect ,large ,shallow water mobs normally non-aggro. and in the
spirit of B.A.T. - balanced alternative techniques ,i believe

- if you make
one aspect harder , you need to slack off another aspect. point being - make
it easier to catch the fish or learn the skill through practice or offer
better fishing gear. honestly how many times are you going to jerk the line
too hard before you learn to let the fish wear itself out and be reeled in or
get stronger line. 80% skill and 30+ hrs later with a dozen of mackeral and
marlins breaking the line is disheartening. plus a juicy mob, aggro or non ,
is a good way to break the boredom of dozens of hours of fishing. also easier
catches mean that it would be feasible to earn that guild cost discount boon
in a time frame that makes it tempting to try to get it instead of just doing
cash runs and paying the guild full value for levels.

i do not want to be handed a prize, i want to earn it. also i have no
complaints, i was just stating the facts that i have received through my
meager exp. please do not take this post as a flame. happy fishing
