I would imagine that fishing was fairly unpopular in TBC, so they wanted to lower the grindfest that it can become in order to get more people doing it.</p> <p>Yeah, it makes our semi-exclusive club less exclusive, but it's not so bad. I wish they would have kept the fishing zone requirements instead of allowing ppl to skill up anywhere, but w/e. Not like you get an error message IRL when you try to fish a pond. =) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/patch-31-made-fishing-bad#post-5877 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:26:51 +0000 Kamaria 5877@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>vawolf <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/patch-31-made-fishing-bad#post-5854" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>i guess "fishing is bad?" depends on how much of a purist you are. i feel that fishing has been completely ruined. the quest rods have for the most part all been made equal. even the big iron pole is +20. you can fish any water and even the junk gives u skill up. for grins i took my wife's druid (skill=187) and caught the bloated Monsterbelly on 4th cast. essentially there is no skill to fishing any longer, it's been reduced to "no misses" so that you can actually calculate how many casts it will take you to reach 450.
