Not just new fish or new rods.. new everything..

Fishing in WoW is blatantly boring.. It's just plain boring.

Why couldn't fishing be a mini game of sorts? Tap your left and right arrow keys to reel in a fish? Small fish are hard as hell to noobs and large fish are near impossible.. but later on, small fish are cake, large fish are mediocre and the only real challenge is GIGANTIC FISH..?

New animation for fishing.. you throw it out and when something bites, you can see it on the end of your line and it becomes a game of tug of war!

Boats! Gold for a tiny fishing boat then upwards of 15000 for an awesome one! While standing on a boat, increases your fishing by % of how awesome the boat is.. Ex: small lame boat increases fishing by 20.. large cooler boat increases fishing by 35.. awesome boat increases fishing by 70!

Fish come with a random weight! Mudfish Weight 1lb.. good luck next time!

I think as WoW has moved onto an entirely more completed and awesome version of itself, I think it's time to give fishing a little umph! =)


(No I haven't fished on this character =D)

Maybe in the South Seas expansion they'll allow you to use nets on boats and do mass fishing, but it requires a skilled group to pull it off.

Fisherman: "Crap, guys, we fished up a giant crab and it broke our nets again."
Driver: "I hate noobs... Seriously, learn to fish..."

I think smaller changers, like perhaps controlling where you cast your line, would be a good start. Perhaps have use the same principle as AoE items and spells, like say, Distract or DnD... When you start fishing, you get a big green circle, and as your skill progresses the circle gets smaller, therefore more precise. That way, it would be easier to fish in various pools, and having a higher skill would have an added benefit of being more accurate.

So is fishing irl.

Use the same solution real life fisherman use... beer.

They should make it so you have to jump into the water and chase the fish down. The fish swim at 200% run speed, you swim at normal swim speed, and you have to grab them with your bare hands within 4 seconds or it's considered a getaway.

I thought fishing was too painful to level, but once I started it became addicting and entertaining.

It became addicting? Were you by chance taking large doses of adderall/ritalin/meth?

I like fishing as it is, it's a relaxing time waster. Not everything in this game needs to play like trying to pull off combos in Street Fighter.

Pretty sure fishing was ruined in beta because of fishing bots. From what I understand, it was completely revamped to make botting tougher.

Truth, fishing was ezmode cash back then.

I really don't mind it as it is, but I really want them to make the fishing daily rewards less random, give us tokens or something, that way I could get that stupid hat that has eluded me for months.

*@#%ing hat, I swear to god...

I've gotten the hat and like 2-3 epic gems ^_^

I've gotten the strand crawler, 5 epic gems, 4 porcelain bells, a couple monocles, 2 pimp hats, 2 diamond tipped canes, and who knows how many stupid fishing hooks, but that hat just refuses to drop.

As someone with max fishing and a desire to get the Salty title (though I've been waiting for my husband to max out his fishing before doing all of it) I have to say that you actually have some pretty damn good ideas here - I fish a lot as it is (and don't really find it boring cause sometimes you fish up some weird stuff) but this would make me fish even more.

hell, I'm fishing in the video in my signature where I caught the WG speedhacker, lol.

they should just get rid of fishing and replace it with scuba diving.

with spear guns...

I like it.

You know what? Forget the fishing AND the scuba diving. They should give everyone submarines with torpedoes so we can have underwater fights.
