As cooking is always something i do in any game i'm involved I'll fish. Â This just makes it a bit easier for me to relax and gather things i need for cooking. Â I understand what they are trying to do. Â In a lot of cases farming RMT's dont go the added step of selling to other players. Â They farm/gather mass quantities of easy gather or farm stuff and sell it to vendors for quick turnover of gil. Â I know this, because i've had characters hacked and had them returned. Â (This was in wow) Â When the character was returned to me they mailed me everything that had been sold off the character for the time she'd been hacked...Lets just say it took me roughly 4 days to clean out my mailbox -_-
So, yes this means your fish are not going to have a high vendor value, but to other players that will use them for cooking and are not inclined to do the fishing themselves (not everyone enjoys that sort of thing no matter how easy it may be), they will still have value.
I have mixed feelings about loosing the minigame...sometimes thats fun, sometimes i just need mats for cooking and would rather be doing other things (EXPLORE ALL THE THINGS!!!)...so..yah.
