Will fishing be improved/more fun in cataclysm?

[Kryos]

It's very boring right now and I remember reading somewhere that they planned to improve fishing.
Does anyone know more about that?

[Elovan]

I think they said they intend to make it into a sort of mini-game, they only mentioned it once so i dunno where they've gone with it.

What exactly do you find boring? I mean you're FISHING...

But seriously, do people remember what fishing was like in vanilla? Twice as long channeling, NO guarantee to catch anything during that time, and you had to be in level appropriate zones to gain a skill point (much like killing mobs - no sitting in Org/SW and cranking through it).

So, fishing has improved a ton over time, but what specifically do you not like about it? And what would make it more interesting?

[TyralisUH]

I don't know anything but I hope it will. Fishing is sooooo boring and takes way too much time to lvl.

[Vober]

I love fishing. I once spent a whole day fishing for no reason.

some way of making it so i have to catch the fish not just click the bobber, maybe have bait and bobber fishing like now but add in some type of lure fishing, more random stuff you can fish up

basically make it more than just cast....... click, loot, cast................. click, loot

So like WG and EotS where the 'bases' have that sliding bar on who controls -- Once you hook the fish then you have to reel it in while it tries to fight! And sometimes you get yanked into the water by a shark or squidipus and fight a mob that spawned!

^ I was never into fishing much, but THAT would make me do it more.

If anyone here has played Dark Cloud 2 (if you haven't you should), fishing in WoW should be like that, i.e. FUN.

Put POWERTHIRST on your fishing bobber and turn your fishing pole into a GUN!

Personally I would love some more combat pets, mounts and equipment added to the 'chance to fish up' table.

[Silence9]

I would like to see fishing be not so boring.

[Kikiyodragon]

I thought I read something some time ago that they wanted to make it like Animal Crossing, where you toss your bobber in and wait for a shadow of a fish to come along, then you yank back your rod once it bites. Dunno though.

[Vasz]

Fishing is more fun now than it used to be, thats for sure.

[Fecalmatter]

I hope so

[Falrinn]

I know Blizzard plans to do it eventually, however we have no idea if such a feature will make it in for Cataclysm.

[Praier]

Fishing is fun, what are you talking about??!

Have to keep telling myself this as I'm still trying to fish up my turtle...17k (literally) fish later :-\
