Greetings guys!
There are many voices going around about fishing:
Trophies not stacking (actually not working at all), Fishing skill not providing any “extra luck”, loot table confusion about treasure chest being higher in chance than Legendary Fishes (this is not correct but I’ll not explain why for now).
The only thing we know for sure is that fishing is not using the same “gathering Luck system” as for for example mining does.
It would be fantastic if any CM could bring in the voice of the Devs and make a little post about fishing, like you did with Loot Luck (even if a lot of questions remains unanswered).
And if possible if there is any plan to fix and refund the missing aptitude chests.
There are many players out there loving fishing, not only bots
The problem of bot in fishing is really a pain, they are basically camping the most of pearl’s hotspot.
I suggest you to Fish in 3 Stars without any Bait and/or Fishing gear on, this way you should remove a little the chance of getting treasure chest in favor for some more blue fish, but you will reduce even the Legendary chance (no problem since the Legendary in the zone in wich you can fish the Oyster are poor legendary. The Fish of Restless shore is still useless, and the other one is the Barb in reekwater for the Basic Trophy wich is totally broken).
Fish really need some love. Afterall is a profession like all others.
Aptitude chest missing, mostly unexplained gathering luck system, Bots, Nerfed rewards from treasure, several legendary fishes totally useless, trophies not working, Base skill not giving any luck at all.
But Hell I’m a fisherman in RL and I 'll be a damn fisherman even here, at any cost
