    My price suggestion is to change the price of fish.

    The main reason why I think that the price of fish should be changed is because of people wishing to train their McMMo skills in fishing, whilst having the skill pay money in the least.

    My idea was that fish could go to at least $25 so that people who auto-fish barely make their money from not trying each hour. Before hand while fish was $50 each you could make around 4-5k an hour. With that cut in half, a person who isn't there would come back to their computer after who knows how long of fishing and it would feel like such a little amount of money in the time of their absence. While a person who was actually fishing manually would fish around 2-10 fish just as a small passtime, while training their McMMo, feel like it is worth it while manually doing work.

    To add to this, you can no longer make fishing tables making the access to fish harder. I would love to see even a $10 bump in prices. Its so hard to deadicate training time when it is sooo unprofitable

    And fishing should be a viable way to make money, just like all the farming methods and mining... :/ It was barely a money-maker to begin with, and now it's not one at all.

    As well, some people (or I hope I'm not the only one) lag too much to proficiently farm (...or farm at all and make money), nor have immediate access to enchanted tools to make mining a solid money-maker.

    Fishing doesn't have to be a super money-maker like farming, but if it /could/ be a way to make money - especially for laggy users or brand-new users - it would be great.

    Why can't fishing tables be made?

    +1 Need a reason to fish aside from training my fishing skills.

    I've negated a lot of previous fish suggestions but I believe this suggestion should take place. I used to fish using a auto-fisher when Nodus was legal and if they were $25 then you're making tiny amounts of money. Also now Nodus is illegal auto-fishers which are legal will be much more harder to come by.

    Like I said even with fish at $25 autofishers won't make that much money and definitely not enough to do anything harsh to the economy therefore I see no wrong into why they should be raised.

    I would also agree. Fishing prices going up not too much would be great

    I agree, with the half reduction from 50 auto fishers wouldn't make that much money. I also wish to train my fishing skill and still make a bit of cash.

    I disagree.
    However on the topic at hand, 25 wouldn't be too bad however it would still encourage more autofishing.

    Too many people autofished when prices were at 50, however a price like 25 would be fair for both legitimate fishers.

    25 would be a good price for fish.

    Erm, Acrobatics doesn't give me any money for gaining levels....and all the other skills give you hardly any increase. Suuure, I may gain an extra food piece from eating that potato, and in the long run save a few dozen bucks on food, but of course, I'd probably farm them myself. Suuure, I may be able to dig a bit faster or longer or get more drops from dirt and in the long run save a few dozen bucks...

    But hey, I'd love to see an increase in fishing, 20, 25, perhaps?
