Sorry to those thinking you were going to finish an already hard achievement, but it just got HARDER to get your title, NOT easier.
Think about for a second:
"Elder Clearwater sits in Dalaran for one hour awaiting the return of the quickest, most experienced fisher to bring him the first catch of the night."
Dalaran - the most populated overvisited city in ALL of Azeroth.
"Don't forget, in patch 3.3.0 you never catch trash from fishing pools, regardless of skill."
EVERYONE will see this tourney announcement, and EVERYONE can win it, regardless of skill. The award for doing so, a BOA +5% exp Heirloom item. What is there to stop EVERYONE from trying to win this, regardless of a meta-achievement? The Northrend tournament just got FULL folks. How many alt-playing people have you come across in your time? These people will flood the tournament with no regard for how hard the title is to get, and with little or no consideration for the meta-achievement, just to win the ring for their alts.
There will not be 104 Salty's a year now, for awhile it probably won't go much higher then 52. At least the STV tournament is out of the way, and limits the competition by fishing skill.
