Fishing needs to stay forever.
Today I did something in D2 that I never in the several thousand hours I have spent with this game. Go fishing. For the first time I was able to interface with the amazing worlds you folks have built over the last decade in a totally non violent and social way. I interfaced with local chat for the first time ever to just chat with some other fishermen, I made some new friends and I found myself enjoying running around on patrol and explore the open zones for the first time in ages. This needs to be permanent and expanded on. More fish, more fishing spots, and more to collect. I will farm for exotic fishing poles and fishing transmog sets a million times longer then any weapon.

This is interesting to me, I'm looking forward to the fishing. I didn't have the time to try it today. But, what interests me is what you said about interfacing with local chat. Just today, I was on a thread talking about how nobody ever uses the chats in game, so it sometimes feels lonely. I'm used to other MMO's having non stop chat. But, I was wondering why Destiny in particular and uniquely, never has anyone talking. So, basically, it made me wonder if the reason nobody ever talks in Destiny's chat is because they never have any real down time activities like other MMO's do. And, maybe that's why nobody ever chatted before - it was always being played in the context of non stop action, no slow stuff like fishing. Maybe? Maybe not. I don't know. But, now I want to try fishing even more. Maybe fishing, in some small way, would be the way to encourage actual organic community interaction.
