No.

Marginally less interested in the game, now.

... still interested, mind, but if you could I might have impulse bought :V

[BigD145]

The number of times I have accidentally sold an item I just bought or was clicking through dialogue and accidentally bought something....

Also, really hate the fishing minigame. Even if you caught something it took 1/4 of the day to do so. I'm pretty sure it's almost impossible to run out of energy while fishing all day long and your inventory is probably not full of fish. All my other skills are 7 or 8. Fishing sits at 1.

ARGH just accidentally sold the melon I was supposed to deliver to someone. That really is ridiculous. A simple confirm dialogue is a pretty obvious move there.

Also, am I really the only one not getting any light from carried torches? It's STILL broken for me. Tried it in the middle of the night - held torch in hand, no change in light level. No one else seems to be having this problem...

[Mephisto]

I've never once used a torch. One of my first drops was a ring that gave off light.

If torches don't work, maybe see about acquiring one.

Unless you need money right that day, does anyone even sell straight to merchants? A dialogue confirm would get annoying if selling en masse, but who does that?

Only with a few items that the shipping box will not accept but the merchant does like swords to the guildmaster.

Those take up too much space for a couple hundred money. I generally toss things like that.

I also get the torches not giving off light bug. I don't know how I fixed it, but it comes back after a while. Try dropping them on the ground, or placing them down then axing them back up. I know that there were some torches inside the mines that I picked up and they gave off no light afterwards, and some fenangling with the inventory seemed to fix it. Maybe get rid of all your torches then make new ones?

[Gabeux]

I agree that the merchants need some sort of confirmation, but I'd vouch for a buy backtab. I had brought 60 califlower seeds and then sold it all back to him accidentally. That hurt the wallet a bit, since after winter I was pretty poor.
There's also an exploit/issue on year 2, Pierre (merchant) seems to be selling fertilizers that were supposed to cost like 800 per unit, for 80 per unit..which is bad.
I won't even exploit it because I'm having a great time doing things legit, but if people on year 2 start claiming to have 1000 tiles of perfect crops, you now know why.

I have like, 500 tiles of sprinkled fields. I'm hoping this will be enough, or I won't have space for animals and stuff.

About torches, even with the Glow Ring (not Small Glow Ring), sometimes it emits a very faint light for some reason, like close to/after 12AM and in certain levels of the mine (as in, 'the previous level was too dark, now it's not anymore'). It might have to do with the "today spirits are disturbed" thing, but probably not.

Someone threw out a perfectly good Walleye in the garbage. One less fish I have to fail at fishing for.

I have to say I have no opinion on how good/bad you are at fishing, but once you get a few ranks (I currently have rank 6) and a better rod, it's VERY easy to use up all your energy and get an inventory full of fish, as well as several thousand g a day.

Getting those ranks takes a bunch of time no matter how good or bad you are. Most of that time is waiting and not doing anything but hovering over your mouse buttons.

I dislike fishing too, but I waited until the second rod (I figured the second one allowed you to use bait), and that helped a lot. About the energy..can't you eat the fish themselves for energy boost? I don't really fish for profit, though, so I have no idea. I know some people do 6k+ daily on the first year from fishing, but that's definitely not a way I'd play. 
If you REALLY hate fishing, here's how I would do it:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Craft/buy 10 or so Crab Pots. I have a feeling they give fishing exp, because I levelled up fishing in a day I didn't even fish, but I did use/bait my crab pots. Even if this works, it's very slow though, because I did this every day for a whole season. But if you really hate it, every bit of XP helps.
- Around first winter or second spring, Willy will unlock the third rod. This is expensive (12k or so), but allows you to use both a Bait and a Fishing Tackle, both have different possibilities.
So you could have a "faster biting" tackle, or one that will hold the green bar of the minigame over the fish. This will make easy fish a Perfect catch without a single click of the mouse.

And since I dislike fishing, I spoiled myself the conditions to catch the last fishes I need for the bundles. No surprise: they are all caught on rainy days...I always used rainy days for exploring the mines.

Spoiler: Rod unlocks (click to show/hide)

I think the third rod (Iridium) might actually unlock based on some other criteria than time, such as either fishing shipments or fishing skill.  I unlocked it in Summer Year 1, which is too big a difference from Winter 1/Spring 2 to be up to random chance.  The major difference may be that I was constantly trying to fish up those really difficult fish that I simply couldn't get with the first two rods, and thus gathering up experience as I collected and sold other fish that I didn't need.
...
What can I say? I may be a wee bit stubborn when it comes to admitting failure, sometimes.

[BigD145]

I have yet to even see a fiberglass rod. Only bamboo is for sale.
