HOW WOULD ONE GET BAIT TO START THIS CYCLE WITHOUT FORAGE ??
WHICH CAME FIRST, THE FISH OR THE BAIT ???? HHHRRRMM ????
LET'S ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE SOME POOR SAP WHO IS JUST STARTING OUT, HOW IN THE HELL IS HE GONNACATCH HIS VERY FIRST FISHTO FILLET FOR THE CHUM BAIT ?? HE SURE AS HELL SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY CREDITS TO SOME GUY WHO HAS BEEN PLAYING THE GAME AND "STOCKED UP" ON BAIT BEFORE THEY TOOK FORAGE AWAY.
IT IS VERY LOGICAL TO ME THATA NEW SCOUT TYPE CHARACTER WOULD BE ABLE TO SCRATCH AROUND IN THE EARTH TO FIND SOME WORMS TO CATCH HIS OR HER FIRST FISH.
FORAGE DOES NOT HURT THE GAME IN ANY WAY, IT ADDS FLAVOR (ALBIET, A SMALL PORTION) TO THE GAME.

Nope, I am just pissed !! or in Dev speak "working as intended".
However, to be considerate to you I have taken Caps Lock off.

posting in all caps really does nothing but make you look silly. Honestly, let your words show your anger, not your capslock key.
by the way, considering that you have a while before these changes come into effect, I think you have enough time to stock up on bait to start the process. It's really not that hug of an issue, all told. Fishing is fun...but it's not a neccesary game function. I agree that it needs to be addressed, but in the grand scheme of this this is (pun intended) small fish.
It got my point across.
Did you take the time read what I wrote? I prefaced it by saying "some new sap" - not me. I am actually trying to think about other people.
Ido believe that there are some crafters out there who require fish for their professions.
Again, the point is, "it does not hurt the game in any way to leave it as it is" so why take it out????
There was sooooo much depth to this game when it started and they have been chiping away ever since.
Crafting has been seriously "dumbed down" and now they are starting on us. Period.
Not a necessary game function....
Ok, then lets keep going.
POIs and their badges, not necessary game function and is doing as much harm to the game as forage. Lets cut it.
Interesting little design additions to out of the way areas that add scenery and uniqueness, like Tat's lakes. Lets cut that too.
New hunting trophies from non-wookiee world planets. Not necessary function, cut it.
Lets just cut everything that doesn't have to do with grinding, jedi, and pvp since its not a 'necessary function'.
Mind your words my friend,necessary is a matter of perspective. There are some that think the ranger as a whole is not necessary and should be cut. Just because you don't see the harm in the change, does not mean it does not exist. Just a friendly reminder from some one who has seen too many changes and 'improvements for the better' that went live in the last few years in SWG.
Even a grain of sand has importance. One man's garbage is another man's treasure my friend.

Hey, chicken little... the sky may be falling but here's a thought... have the noob socialize and ask a scout for an assist when startting out. Or expect novice scouts to get a stack of bait instead of a melon. Stunning example, but perhaps a wee mission for noobs to run like the shellfish harvester tool mission.
There are a million things to be concerned about. I hardly thing foraging for bait will lead to the dehydration of entire planetary systems. Make your point, but let's try and restrain the hyperbole to rampant hysteria and not the rantings of a paranoid schizophrenic...
