I guess, they can't redo this because it'd require recoding of whole achievement system. However, they could still add fishing achievements for every rare catch and make the "The One That Didn't Get Away" require to complete one of those. You could "show off" your fish and it wouldn't break the achievement system.</p> <p>I had same problem with "Master Angler of Stranglethorn", I won it prior to 3.0, so it was locked. Few weeks ago, I won it again and I was expecting it'd check off the other requirement... and well, it didn't. Honestly, I don't care about it much, because I have both items. However, I agree with you, Blizzard could do something with it.. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/achievements#post-3029 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:33:46 +0000 Marlburo 3029@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>like i said my main issue is with catching rares POST patch.

I agree that it's rather disappointing to have caught a rare fish and yet lack the achievement, but the current system doesn't distinguish between caught and bought fish. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/achievements#post-3012 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:29:37 +0000 Dante757 3012@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>If someone is flaunting a rare catch around like they actually caught it....just ask them to link you their achievement. If they can't then they bought it unless it was caught before the achievements came online. It would be nice to have the achievement keep track of every fish you've caught.

It has to register as a "catch," which is why anyone who had one in their bags prior to the achievements going live did not get the achievement credit. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/achievements#post-3001 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:45:01 +0000 Norrinir 3001@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I guess it's because you've already done it.

I completed the quest with a Steelscale Crushfish, and today at the tournament I finally caught a Rockhide Strongfish. I was so happy because I figured that fish would now be checked off on the achievement. It was not. The reason this upsets me is because ANYONE can go and buy one, I thought this achievement would show you CAUGHT one. Your thoughts? </p>
