He thought for sure the GMs couldn't remove the title and could only take away the fishing pole. Two days after the win they rolled back his character to the state in which it transferred. I laughed my butt off! Yeah he quit shortly after that incident. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stranglethorn-fishing-contest-cheating#post-7569 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:16:08 +0000 Ninkosen 7569@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Aqua <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stranglethorn-fishing-contest-cheating#post-7536" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>Thanks<br /> I am not complaining about the GM...I am complaining about the person who would cheat to win!

Oh and also he was a lvl 19 twink on a PvP server so there is no possible way to get 40 fish that fast!! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stranglethorn-fishing-contest-cheating#post-7524 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:30:15 +0000 Shreda 7524@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>That'd need to be a pretty stupid GM to believe that, considering that tastyfish disappear within 4 hours. I'm not sure I believe that guy. He probably made it up so that you'd stop asking. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/stranglethorn-fishing-contest-cheating#post-7522 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:12:41 +0000 Aqua 7522@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Today was the day of the STV fishing contest and I was really excited and pumped up about it. I really wanted to win. So I did as many things as I could to get prepared including buying a lot of health potions, and switching my glyphs to help me escape the evil horde that killed me a few times. </p> <p>The contest just began, and about 5 minutes later, the winner was announced!! I was shocked. How could somebody win this fast. Luckily the winner was Alliance, so I deiced to whisper him. At first, he wouldn't tell me what he did to win, but after a while I gained his trust. He told me that earlier that day he contacted a GM and told him that he accidentally deleted 40 Speckled Tastyfish. The GM then gave him 40 and he handed them in right at the beginning. </p> <p>I was very disappointed with this and hopefully he didn't tell anymore people and give them ideas about cheating in this way! :( </p> <p>-Well at least I got my lucky fishing hat :) </p>
