Fishing Really Needs Nerfed

cdhoff

While I love how this is completely broken, it still needs to be fixed. The main problem with fishing is with every fish you catch, you get upwards of 45 meebles. In my opinion, It breaks the economy, since the way that everyone says making money quickest is with farming, which gives maybe $1 per 20-ish sugar cane.

cant break whats already broken

really though i hate fishing, its boring and its not often that you get a catch. farming is less probably because you can idle while it basically generates meebles for you. auto fishers dont work anymore(i think)

Yeah, Without some modifications to the design it wont work because of the *cough*terrible*cough* idea of kicking you when you go AFK

Once hackers are found their account is wiped, so excluding hackers. I don't think fishing is too bad, with mcmmo you also get dead tools, broken armour, TNT, and splash potion bottles, no one can sit there for long enough and fish without getting bored so they don't go back to fishing for one day, fishing is currently the only way I earn some money and it doesn't seem to be any more helpful than just balancing my taxes.

Perhaps rich was the wrong word on my part.

What is the downside to everyone in an economy having enough meebles to do what they want without consideration and time spent grinding? I'm not saying there isn't one, but can anyone list any of them?

I'm just asking about a thought experiment mostly, not trying to push any point forward.

"No, fishing is tedious and anybody wanting to take the time and effort to fish should be rewarded. "

Meep needs to stop with the thought that anything and everything ever must be nerfed or else the eco will be broken. Literally if the eco has survived so far with fishing like this than it will probably still be okay.

Shouldn't be an issue if you don't AFK-farm.

The biggest issue I see with an obscenely large number of money circulating would be that most of that money would not be evenly distributed--that is, you would (as we have seen in many of the past economy iterations) have a small number of people with a lot of the wealth. Of course, these individuals tend to dictate Towny, as Meep's Towny and economy are so tightly coupled. (Of course, this will be the case with most any economy, but the issue is exaggerated with a higher baltop.)

The main reason I had for starting this is with a LOTS 3 Lure 3 Rod, after about 10 mins, I gained over 1k

Good point

considering that that pays only about 2 days of my towns upkeep I think that is quite balanced

Bring back 90 meeble per fish.
