If so, well to that, I can only say that it is actually possible to gain skillupses from a lost catch. In other words, I've had it happen quite a few times, that when my line has been snapped, my skill advanced.
At least that was the case before the recent adjustments. I've yet to do much fishing after them, so I'm unsure if it's still happening. Of course I still agree that the rate is way too low, even considering the fact that I have seen as high as 0.3 beyond level 90! More than once!!
As for the 'did not catch anything', I certainly don't find that as a necessary feature. I doubt any player would.
Speaking of the adjustments, I guess in the grand scheme of things, I like them. I don't think I'm a fan of the big arrows that come up on the screen, but the negativeness that brings up is probably outweighed by the positives.
So a thank you might be in place, even if it may be early for that still!
