    They need to implement fish wrangling in my honest opinion! :D
    You vs the endless ocean - Shark vs Humanoid

    AFK fishing means fishing is pointless.

    To me, there should always be some sort of active component to everything we do in game - I mean, why even play the game if you aren't required to push buttons in order to do a "thing"?

    It isn't hard to conceive of a fishing system that doesn't allow for AFK fishing.

    I never played an MMO where fishing was done AFK. Or at least if that was a thing in any MMOs I’ve played, I never took part.

    WoW required being active; watching your line, reeling in at the right time, etc. You also had to hunt for spots with the right kind of fish and once you caught enough fish you would have to wait for them to respawn (which meant looking for another spot). LotRO was similar. No AFK fishing. That’s what I expect and hope to see.

    I really liked Stardew Valley's fishing mini-game. Would be nice to have something similar. Also was a nice touch that the weather (and season) influenced what fish were available to catch... would work super well in AoC I think.

    I think it would also be nice to have 2 types of fishing rods, one with Stardew-style mini-game and another with a more brain-dead wait and click mechanic for when you just want to kill time without engaging but balancing that may be annoying. In conclusion: Stardew valley fishing mini-game was fun :).

    That really would work well.

    Would be cool to see ice fishing on some lakes over winter.

    Fishing in MMO's.

    I hope they create 2 stages of fishing.
    Stage 1: Semi-afk bait fishing.
    Stage 2: Interactive fun fishing.

    Second this. And not a chance in the world I'll do the interactive fishing. I love afk-fishing, putting on some tv/video, chilling, watching my fish stack up, reading world chat. Interactive fishing makes me go cross-eyed.

    There are video game soley dedicated to fishing so fishing could in fance a ton of fun with differerent lures and big game fishing a getting fish mounted on your player housing and having differnet weights and sizes could make big long post but decided not. But fishing could be in fact a really fun mini-game. Think Ashes of Creation should capitalize on how popular fishing is.
