I understand your thought on why getting rid of gold in treasure chests because of the whole bot situation, but penalizing legit players who have enjoyed fishing partly because you can make gold while just relaxing by a lake was fun. You take that away and now fishing is kind of dumb. Nobody buys fillets barely. The only hope you have is to catch an epic fish and hope someone needs it. I’ve caught 2 epic fish so far and not one has sold.
The fishing in this game is pretty bare bones as it is. Every other gathering skill actually has different things you unlock at certain levels. Different types of trees, nodes etc… But Fishing is just unlocking the ability to track more rare spots to fish.
TLDR; GIVE US GOLD BACK IN TREASURE CHESTS.

I agree. What is Amazon going to do when bots exploit other professions? They are going to penalize the legit players by nerfing the profession. This is a sad road Amazon is taking
I enjoyed fishing but the removal of gold from chests now makes it not worth to do anymore.

I have to disagree with the idea. Not everyone enjoys fishing and intends to level it, but that would basically force anybody to level fishing just for the added chance to gain gold.
no gold, no incentive for bots to ruin this game. I am happy
You act like bots can’t catch legendary fish and sell them on the market.

Nobody is forced to do anything in this game. That is rather dramatic. I’m not forced to go cut trees. I’m not forced to go mine nodes. People do what the enjoy. My only point is those gathering skills I just mentioned have a higher profit margin on the auction house or you can level up a crafting skill with just the materials you gather from mining or lumber jacking. Fishing literally needs cooking in order to craft anything and or alchemy and then you better be gathering herbs also because you can’t cook shit without herbs.
Ugh. Is that what they’re doing? I swear, every game company keeps trying to combat botting by making things harder/worse/less fun for real players. It’s gotten beyond annoying at this point. I wish these companies had an entire fund directly related to hiring devs to go bot hunting in game.

Nerfing fishing because of bots means you are letting the bots win.

Noone buys fillets as they are sold expensive af.
They shouldnt be nerfing something bc of bots. They should be doing their job and banning them.
It shouldnt be too hard to spot them. Players do your part too, if you see someone suspicious, report them.

Hey, I have no idea how we can make golds from the system now.
The currency system is now broken.
All pve events does not drop any gold. First the boards, then fishing.
I want to buy houses, let me know how can I earn gold from pve.
This nerf changes the whole dynamic of one aspect of their game, targeting a part of the population that has found joy in one of the noncombat routes to living in this world. They have done this without any regards to who it will effect or how it will demoralize a segment of their player base simply to punish a few who wish to cheat. So just because some peeps came in and stole some food from the lunch room all your students should now just go hungry? Where is the logic in that? Make Treasure chest fight like all get out, make it harder for botters not players…this seems like a Lazy and cold act by the devs and we need to make a LOT of Noise so they will hear us!..Mad as hell, and disappointed in a game I convinced half a dozen friends to play.~ That is all~ Best wishes to you~

Should we start handing out chests with every Iron node you tap? Or tree you fell? I disagree 100% with the OP.
Resource nodes have never handed out chests so your point is invalid. This is a system that has been in the game since the start and this change is punishing the common player. It is a lazy solution to a problem that shouldn’t have occurred in the first place. Amazon’s inexperience as a game/mmo developer is really shining through here…

You have far better thing than gold in those nodes
Mods for bags/rings/amulets/earings gathering tools …some of which sell for few thousands and are far easier to get .
To start getting number of chests that would make some good money (note that i said good …not great)you need 200 fishing + fishing gear set and Pole …14 quests to obtain it all + level 101 fishing + main char lvl 60.
Meanwhile you can get rare mods from lvl one nodes next to your starting city.

You mean like players that exploited bear & Pigs to gain fast lvls + full epic gear from pigs and enough meat to reach lvl 200 in cooking.

ban those aswell!
So because there’s an economy for crafted goods - most of which require hundreds of units of each raw material (due to requiring exponential amounts to go between tiers), you think that a single chest should have gold in it?
You can use those fish to craft alchemical goods, cooked foods, and trophies that can provide huge buffs (up to +40 to a single attribute). I think you’re underestimating the value of fishing, particularly in the endgame.
