+1 Prison has been a pillar of the community for longer than I can remember, and your personality and experience make you a top candidate for me, and I'm sure many others.
Yes that is true. This suggestion is basically saying to that there can be a system that tracks XP earned from fishing as a statistic. For example
User types !fishing
[Garnet] zbt has 10000 Fishing XP
Purely as something to show that i've done a lot of fishing. You can utilize this to have the server check the user's xp every time they fish to increase their catch rate, increase profits by a %, or meet a margin to allow certain fish to pop up more/exclusively to a certain level of experience i.e fishing a manta ray at 10000 xp or something.
You currently get XP from fishing, but again, it's directed at low-level players, and not at all a viable way for older players to farm XP.
The idea is you can printer farm and fish at the same time 🙂
