I'll return you this question, why should older players have obtained it the easy way while new players have to bust their ass 4x longer for the same result?
Well... mining/fishing is a HeRo specialty. It has done quite some harm to the servers economy imho...

Just because something was broken in the past and you repair it now is nothing personal. It's always a hard thing to do, but it's the only correct thing.
I agree with Tripp that there are plenty of other ways to make easy zeny! Farm your elus with a lvl 8x hunter in glast heim e.g. The cards and elus will do some good, as will the playing experiece.
As much as I appreciate fish for it's brokenness, I think mining/fishing puts the strenous part of the game way too much into the center of attention...
It's a game damnit! You're supposed to have fun. If fun for you is sitting before a barely changing picture and clicking thousands of times, you can still do it. If it isn't, just go out! Be creative! Think of other ways to make zeny. There are tons of cards that will give quite a good pay even if the monsters that drop'em are easy cake (PPE, Thara, ...). If farming those seems boring to you, I'm asking myself why mining/fishing isn't even more boredom? Because you can do it while watching anime or reading manga? That's BS!
This is just the same as macroing or botting:
You gain an advantage while enjoying yourself with something else. Make the work be fun. I've farmed several cards I needed myself, and it's always a great feeling finally getting repaid for the hour-long grind. But in exchange for me, I got better and better in mobbing and grimtoothing. When you actually do stuff in the game the way it's supposed to be it rewards you with more than just the thing you came for. That's why RO is so great in my opinion.
