For those of you who like to say that the pond in the Mog Garden is awesome for fishing...
THIS just happened to me today.
You can clearly see I'm in my garden. I'm using a Halcyon and Insect Paste Balls, and I wasn't in the garden for any more than 5 minutes.
EDIT: 24 "You didn't catch anything." to get 10 fish, so that means.... 30% bite rate.
Now I know this is egregious, as this is the first time it has ever been THIS bad, but still. This should not be happening. At All. It's freaking moat carp, and the object of a weekly quest at that. Ain't like it's one of the Ebisu fish or something that's actually worth something.
EDIT2: Next mule, catches 8 fish almost in a row (1-2 "Didn't catch anything." in the middle, not in a row). UNTIL 8/10 and then it took him
16 attempts to catch
two fish.
*sigh*
I really don't understand why they needed such ridiculous amounts of "You didn't catch anything."
Kinda reminds me of the uselessness that is HELM where you do nothing but break tools all day to get that 1/100 chance that you might get something remotely useful.
