I have no problem with people catching fish like that to earn money. If people take their skill to 80+, they have every right to earn great gil from their craft. What I DID have a problem with was your average idiot raising smithing and fishing to minor levels and earning millions of gil easily.
SE really needs to attack the bot problem head on, instead of nerfing what people bot.
Problem is, how can they? The programs are so easy to write, it wouldn't matter. The issue is also fishing prices. How hard would it be to write some extra lines so your bot turns around and fights a mob for a few seconds, then fish again?
Fishing, as a whole is a unique and great/problematic thing with the game. Your primary source of income is selling fish to vendors. Bringiing in gil into the economy throughthe vendors. the only difference was the QUANTITY using the caps to do it.
Newsflash, this cap shit would done WAY WAY WAY before US launch. Same with bots. However, of course, because of greed, we're getting it shut down. ^^;
edit: This nerf has cause my girlfriend to consider quitting the game since she was working smithing and fishing up to 50. Considering that's a hella timesink, and hello gil sink, calling her an idiot is unwarrented.
Bottom line is, everything, EVERYTHING in this game is easy. Making gil is the same. The difference is, it's just a timesink.
