I had been trying to win the fishing contest for weeks and I always lost due to rotten luck, ganking alliance, or greifing horde. I thought all of these tactics were so lame and thought the STV Extravaganza should not be required for Salty because it required you to play dirty. Alas, because it required tricks to win and i wanted salty badly I did what I had to do to win the contest. I assembled a team.
I got a bunch of my guildees who are also real life friends all on at 1PM on Sunday to get ready. We had 6 people seperated into 3 teams. This was the second week after Wrath so only a few were level 80. The three teams consisted of the following:
Team 1: Me(Undead Rogue) and Undead Mage: I would of course fish the tastyfish nodes while the mage would run up and down the coast looking for the next node to hit after I was done with the one I was on. He also helped me kill any invading allies or sheep/cc if they were to strong to kill so we could escape.
Team 2: Troll Death Knight and Blood Elf Priest: These 2 went down south and were the PVP team. They killed every alliance they could find, with the priest fearing large groups of them and the Death Knight spawning ghouls on top of them. They succeeded in killing a ton of alliance.
Team 3: Tauren Shaman and Tauren Druid: This was the Horde griefing team. With the shaman's waterwalking and both of their gigantic kodos they stood on any horde player's bobber they could find, making many players hearth and give up the competition and get spammed with threats.
Although it was lame to resort to such tactics, I won handily with the person in second only having caught fish in the 20s. If you want to win, you need to take what you can and give nothing back. It sucks, but it's what must be done if you want to be SALTY!
