			Two systems I've always hoped we'd get was pets and fishing. We're now getting pets in drop five which was a nice surprise. There was no indication that the pet system was coming in this drop, it just appeared, so cool. I'm wondering/hoping they might do the same with drop six  :) It wouldn't surprise me one bit if we see fishing in it. I know there's been data mined stuff showing fishing assets so there's a fair chance its in the works. Anyone else reckon we'll see it in the next drop, fingers crossed  ;)

I know that back in beta they dabbled with some weird idea for fishing/farming or something. You had like a boat that would fish for you. I don't know if this ever actually made it into beta but i remember hearing about it and i also remember hearing it was met with huge disdain.
 
I for one am all for fishing. If they bring fishing in it can pair well with cooking to make it a lil smoother to level or at least give us a stationary place to farm for cretin materials. As it is right now cooking is a headache.
 
Adding fishing would be a wonderful addition to the game. They could allow you to even catch some pets like wow/rift did. have daily quests like again wow/rift, fish up maybe vanity items/ decor. the list could go on. Making the secondary profession of fishing have a lot within it will give it strong replay value. Gotta always make sure to attack relevant daily quests to it. Maybe give money, some glory, and a random decor/dye and a super rare chance at some kind of a mount. That will get ppl doing it and keep people doing it a long time.I for one am all for fishing and have been since beta, just as i was with pets. They just need to be sure to have different levels of fishing poles too and have some rare ones that cannot be crafted :) I think fishing should be self contained and craft their own fishing poles as they reach different levels and have the crafting components be things that can be bought, fished, etc. it is good to have a mix but not to heavily reliant on other professions unless it is another secondary. This can cause problems with inflation, gouging, and even lack of ability to complete for lower levels as well as high levels if the population continues to decrease.
 
The type of content wildstar needs to bring in at this point is self sustaining things that wont affect the single player while encouraging group play. basically, if my entire guild doesn't log on next week. i should still be able to accomplish things alone that feel meaningful so that i do not quit as well.

Great post Yazra  :)
Fishing could be a system that is both useful and relaxing, not something that you have to do but something that is worth doing if your so inclined. They could do so much with it, fishing tournaments, rare drops, quest lines etc. I've played other mmos that didn't have fishing at release but added it later due to so many players asking for it. There seems to be a real love/hate thing about it but imo every mmo should have fishing right out the door, It just feels like something that should be there from the beginning. It's coming I'm sure of it  :wub:

			They said they couldn't make it interesting enough so they dropped the idea during beta.

Relaxing?  I WANT VINDICTUS STYLE FISHING!

I never quite understood the fetish with fishing, for me its one of those things everyone wants but no one actually does. 
Don't get me wrong, if it took the devs no time to implement it I'l be first in line to try it out. 
 
Now racing, now there's something I would beg for! 
We have all these mounts, why is it so hard for <insert random mmorpg developer> to create a track ( heck make it pvp for all I care,  like mario cart ) and race to be the first.
That's content and content no one finds a drag... pun

Yeah, Okay I understand the Bonding thing you said, I can agree with that. 
Now adding it to the housing is good stuff really, but make it place on a map, where people can go to. Give rewards  let people watch other people racing.

So many hoverboard tracks in housing.
They're adding new hoverboard park decor in drop 5.
Seriously housing has all of what you need.

@ Racing, once upon a time i played Lego universe with the little kids while i was deployed in iraq... there was racing. it was amazing. having 3-4 tracks that are mario cart style would be so fun. Have 5-10 ppl in a race at a time. Could be team races or FFA... It would be an alternative to pvp in a sense. ( DO NOT FREAKING HAVE 1 FACTION Vs the other or whatever this new idea is.... just take the first 5-10 queued ppl no matter the faction and go with that ) The race tracks should be a phased/zoned thing. There could bit a big rally center or something in the capitals or a new neutral area for players to come together in a hub, even if it was just a seasonal event.. 
 
Have your vehicle, pick up speed boosts, temp one use weapons to attack other racers, compete for top times/kills/etc have a latter board for it, achievements, and special mounts reserved for those who compete in the races and achieve a certain bracket or level. Would be cool, i could see that being amazingly popular in a game like this.
 
@Fishing, I spent hours and hours in wow fishing for the achievements and pets. I loved making my own buffs and such with cooking/fishing for raids etc. In Rift as stated before, Bonding. I loved parking in a nice place and listening to the music, looking at the sky, the trees, I knew it was not real but it gave me a sense of real that was enough to make me feel better ( i used to work night shifts so i didn't see the sun too much )
 
 
Fishing achievements are a must, achievements of catching 1 of each kind, or 100 of a certain fish, 1000, 10,000 ! lol. Also fishing in each zone, etc. There's so many opportunities to add little bits of flare and depth to a game that suck people in.

Wildstar has a severe lack of skywhales.
 
I want them.
And then I want to hunt them.

More water combat might be nice though for a change.

Unless the telegraph system is changed to show up in 3-d space, hell no. It's bad enough not being able see your own teles, but don't forget that enemy telegraphs wouldn't be visible either. 
 
That being said, they could have a plane roughly near the caster's feet that they'd project upon instead of the sea floor, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
