Fishing is there a way to get a text alert when the bobber goes?

Ain’t no way skinning is generating this much gold, because the leather and chitin aren’t worth a crazy amount. Unless you’re getting insanely lucky procs of perception and getting hides and carapace, or bone fragments, but even then.

The entire game is a waste of time, if you want to be accurate.

I fish because it relaxes me. If I sell the fish, that’s a bonus.

OK, I’ll bite (pun intended) what WQs are you doing for 20k an hour? Because that’s bollocks. And not sustainable. You certainly can’t do it every hour because even if you are lucky and get multiple 800g quests come up, they take a couple of days to reset.

Unless you plan to have dozens of level 80 alts doing it. And yes, they have to be level 80 for the 800g quests to spawn. A sub 80 would only see item drops on the same quests.

Yes, just fishing is a debatable way to earn gold. Maybe there are better ways of doing it. But I can read a book while clicking on my mouse when I hear a ding. It’s almost AFK work for maybe small but appreciable gain. Effort purely optional. And hurts nobody.

This probably comes as a total shock to you, but some people play games for fun. And some people find fishing fun.

Pressing one button over and over again is fun?
Are we actually evolving backwards as a species?

Fishing in Azeroth is relaxing. And epic incognita

Absolutely, because we have to belittle what others find fun…

I fish because I like my alt army set up with hearty food. And I hope your milk spoils…

I like fishing. I do it a lot when I’m waiting on ques, or just chilling while chatting with friends.

Sure; I’d love it if the system was a little more involved than clicking the bobber, or hitting a key with better fishing. I feel like New World did fishing much better.

But, I’m not going to mind if they never bother to change it from what it is now.

There’s a fishing addon that increases the ‘catch’ sound to be more noticeable.

So you don’t like fishing. Good for you.

This might come as a shock to you, but something I was taught in kindergarten is that fun is an opinion and opinions are subjective and things you don’t find fun other people do find fun.

One of the biggest problems with WoW is that everyone turned into “optimize this, maximize that” and then forgot how to just enjoy the freaking game.
