Changes to Chocobo Digging and Gardening (07/03/06)

How is that different from other crafts. Press the synth button and BAM millions of gil.

I never said it was. Infact, it would be interesting if they could make normal synthing more interactive (or at least more immersive).
However, the fishing adjustment was, for the most part, an attack on RMT and lets face it, Fishing is just better designed to accept interactivity.

i went fishing other day and... who knew that you are supposed to pull up on your rod once you get a bite and not left-right like ffxi? XD

Except now bots are actually stronger now then before. A real player has to tire the fish down while the bot does nothing and gets it with no effort (since its a bot). I sit there making some mistakes getting it eventually, while the bot reels it in, in 1/2 the time and when they fatigue they have another character ready to bot for them. The fishing changes were retarded and favor bots.

You're absolutely right. The designers sit down and say "hey, this is easily automatable, that's bad!" when they should be saying "hey look at all the people automating this, that's bad!". When accounts/CC#s start getting banned en-masse for fishbotting, people will stop fishbotting.
