Idk which devs idea this was but this was something i didn't realize i wanted until it was a thing.

If it helps people out with accessibility it's worth the cheese
outside of accessibility I think it's goofy for a game like this and am not into it
Yep, this exactly. It really doesn't fit with anything they've done in the rest of the game (save some named bosses, etc)
I think for accessibility it's good and important. But if you're using it to min/max your fishing time, then you are cheesing it :(

I'll probably turn it off eventually... once i'm done doing all the fishing things where i need to hunt one particular fish.
For rn though, it's rather nice and saves me some bait.
See, this is the problem with it :) It causes deviant player behavior to work around the system as intended.
But for accessibility it's great.
It just is what it is.
Agree to disagree.
Honestly, it's fishing and no one should really give a feces about whether anyone is cheesing it.
It still provides very little in the way of money and still takes an absurd amount of time to do.
And it's not like i couldn't just look through the water and figure out what kind of fish it is based on the color, this just makes it easier.

Do you catch and reel in every ruby splashtail? No? Then you are cheesing the system 😉
Is that a challenge?
Anyways, I just hope there's a way to turn it off. Then I'm good.

Opposition to it has nothing to do with money; and as absurd an amount of time as it takes now, it used to be much more absurd.
With Arena gone, I was actually looking forward to grinding Hunters Call commendations, because it was the last real grind left in the game. Then I found out about the nameplates lol. I'm still going to work on it, but I do regret not finishing back before it was nerfed.
When things get nerfed, they lose value and prestige.
