Anchoring Skiff Should Equip Fishing Rod

[shauncoates.6874]

'nuff said.

They'll change it when they re-code the whole thing. Apparently anchoring skiff is so bugged it breaks mounts. The whole thing will be re-coded.

Some of us don't give a whit about fishing.  Please do not force fishing rods when anchoring.

I fish frequently, and still don’t want to be forced into fishing rods when anchoring.

The best solution would be to give us separate keybinds for skiff and rod.

I fish, I enjoy my skiff...I just want keybinds lol.

To the original suggestion; no, enough has not been said, and no, I don't agree with it. I enjoy fishing but I don't want to be auto-equipped every time I anchor.

If anything there should be more options for keybinds regarding the mastery skills.

This would be a nice *option* for those who want it.  If ANet can implement it without making the change obtuse or confusing. 

[Feduddle.5209]

Please no.  I don't want to be forced into fishing mode when pretending to be a pirate.

There's a hotkey for equipping the rod, I believe it's "J"

That's the single keybind slot for all mastery skills (jade bot waypoint/skiff/fishing rod)

No, quite often I am anchoring to jump out for an underwater chest.  I think keybinds would be a better option.  😎

or maybe there should be a separate "prepare for fishing" button that anchors the boat AND equips the fishing rod. making anchoring automatically equip fishing rod is bad idea, because fishing is not the only reason why player would anchor it.
