I currently have 3 saltys, and that's probably the way it's going to stay due to Blizzard's decision to mess up the game this upcoming expack. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7078 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:31:24 +0000 Altimeter 7078@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've won three times on my server--twice with my main, and once with a DK. You're right about the fun of the challenge. I have to keep myself away from the tourney these days or else I'll be tempted to try to win again. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7076 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:41:49 +0000 Marlburo 7076@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I hear where you're coming from but I too am a multiple tournament winner. For me the tournament is the ultimate and some may argue ONLY challenge in fishing. It's how you seperate the fisherboys from the fishermen. Now if I was out there having people stand in pools, or having a bodyguard (i actually wear overalls), I could see how people would be getting upset. That being said, everyone has the same chance at winning as I do and if you want to be considered the best you gotta beat the best! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7056 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:07:54 +0000 X-Rok 7056@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I also fish the tourney for the challenge. 6 wins here as well, damn near had a 7th last sunday (would have been 2 weeks in a row, too) only to be robbed at the turnin, 2 ret pallies waiting outside the inn, I assume friends of the alliance druid that turned it in seconds later to win it. Frustrating, but to be expected on a PvP server. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7047 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:33:23 +0000 Rigami 7047@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I do it because it a challenge. Win once, it could be a fluke. Twice a bit more skill wise. If you can beat everyone constantly (even if you don't hand in) then it shows your the best. Which is what the competition is to show. </p> <p>As for stealing pools. sorry but thats is bs. You really want to win you should be scouting out well in advance so that you don't share pools. </p> <p>I will certainly continue to do it until I get salty. But won't be handing in the fish. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7040 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:49:20 +0000 Jelly 7040@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>To be honest I totally don't understand why on earth would you be doing this for a reason other than ego-bloating.</p> <p>What ticks me off about this idea is not even the mentioned boasting in /1, but the fact that you pointlessly take pools and thus make the competition harder for all people who are trying their best to win because they actually need it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7039 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:26:35 +0000 InfectedZombie 7039@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Not really because you have everything you could get. Sounds like you are feeding a fishing ego. Step aside and let people who are doing their best they can win. I have more respect for fishermen who are part of the community that fishermen who are constant "winners". </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7037 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:31:30 +0000 llie 7037@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've done something like that. I've won the fishing extravaganza 6 times. I have 1 fishing pole and 5 hooks of the master angler. People on my server are starting to get upset with me so the last couple times that I *won* I got my 40 fish, hearthed to Booty Bay, and just stood by the spot to turn it in. I say in general chat that I've got my fish and I wait for the next person to turn it in. (My record time for winning is 12 mins and each time i did this i got it about 15 mins) I decided that it's fair for me to wait there for about another 3 to 5 mins for another winner. If someone comes within the next 3 to 5 mins i let them take it, if not i turn it it. I did this 3 times. The first 2 times someone else got it and the 3rd time i turned it in after waiting 5 minutes. Tell me what you think. Does this sound fair? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/doing-stv-for-the-fun-of-it#post-7032 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:38:58 +0000 Rigami 7032@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I (technically) won the third time STV. I got the 40 fish, opened the window and was at the point where all I had to do was to click complete quest, instead I started a movie, typed in "I won" and as I clicked enter someone won. Looking back at the movie they were 3-4 seconds behind me. </p> <p>Still was fun. :) Anyone else do this? </p>
