A Fishing Flagship Event? Really?

I thought Wuthering Waves supposed to be focused on action-based gameplay? A flagship event being centered around fishing feels like a slap to the face to that. I'm really disappointed in that choice for the 2.1 update. It’s just a repetitive minigame that most people will do out of resource FOMO rather than actual enjoyment. Is this really something people were asking for? Feels like another case of borrowing from Genshin in a way that doesn’t really fit WuWa’s core gameplay.
