Tell me, fishermen, and women alike, why do YOU fish ?
To be honest, I spend most of my time on WoW fishing, since it actually is all I enjoy anymore. I have done a lot of PvP on previous accounts, and received titles from doing so in the process, but I am now completely dedicated to fishing ever since I discovered the landscapes you can come across while roaming the seas.
The vast Bay of Storms; the long, sinuous river of Hillsbrad Foothills, that leads into the Western Plaguelands; the green, lush ground of the Barrens' oases; the dry, deserted shores of Desolace; the rocky soil of Stonetalon Peaks and Durotar; the icy, virgin waters of Winterspring!
And the Outlands... the polluted ecosystem of Zangarmarsh; the living waters of Nagrand; the spooky rivers of Terokkar, and its pools of water high on mountains; really, have you seen any more diversified of a world ?
Northrend, the newly discovered continent, cold and dry from an end to the other, deeply corrupted by the grasp of ancient evils, yet host to lively waters, and a people the likes of which have never been seen : the Kalu'ak. Fishermen to the core, willing to share their knowledge about their chilled, unwelcoming world...
I've fallen in love with fishing a while ago, and ever since, it's been my main occupation. Of course, being on a Roleplaying server makes it all the more rewarding! People view Enarka, the Fishy Lady (Salty Rogue, hey!), as a dedicated fisherwoman, who can provide them all with the fish they want, at all times!
In fact, I do keep a ton of fish of every kind, stored in my own complete guild bank, to supply everyone with the fish they may come to need! From the Raw Brilliant Smallfish to the Deep Sea Monsterbelly, everything's in the bank, in multiple stacks. Cooked meals, raw fish, name it : it's there. I sell it, I gift it, I trade it, and often just look at it, wondering how much time will come to pass before I get my hands on that mythic 103 Pound Mightfish!
So, tell me, anglers of Azeroth, do you fish for your own leisure ? Do you sell the fish ? Are you aiming at any particular fish to catch ? Any amount of a particular item to get ? What is YOUR incentive to fish, beyond the coveted ''Salty'' title ?
I, for one, seek to understand the underwater ecosystem of Azeroth, for it has surprised me many, many times. Murlocs, Hydras, Kraken...what else lurks below the surface..? I pray that, one day, I will learn...
