Ever hear the old horror stories of a few years back. SH@10m SH+1@50m. 50m strider boots. 90m thief knifes and so on.

Most people duno why it happened so allow me to explain.

It use to be that anyone that wanted gil could go to rabo and fish up rusty caps and sell them to any NPC for 3k ish gil. Sure it isnt much but if you fished all day you could make 1m easy.

So SE nerfs it. Once again se changes things to make them worse.

Now you need lv 25 ish smithing to turn rusty cap into padded cap and then you can sell it for 3k ish gil. Problem solved right? LOL @ SE.. Now light crystals are 12-15k a stack and people can still turn out 1m ish gill cauz by now we have mog enhancement furnishing that increase item bite rate.

So after about 18 mos of this. What do you see when you zone into rabo.. Shoulder to shoulder players all the way arround the pond. No joke you could not find a open space 99% of the time you just fish behind someone.

prices go crazy because by now the RMTs are all over this and people were geting gil for like 5/1m. SE nerfs this for good.

One would think SE would have learned something by now.. but no..

present day. Go out to beacu glacier and see for your self. Lots of fish bots there. Reguardless of who is or isnt boting... prices per fish is 10k to any npc. 80-100 fish a day easy. In another 6-12 mos or so im sure it will be packed with people fishing. Even if it was only 50 people turning out 1m a day.. that is still 350m a week. X 2-3 years it will take SE to wake up and realise we have a problem.

Start pinching those gilz.. Gonna need all ya can get soon enough.

Dont get me wrong.. I'm 100 fishing and after years of watching low LV fishers/bots get rewarded for being lazy at things like rusty caps and devil manta. It sure woulda been nice to have a $ fish for LV 100 fishers.. too bad SE caters to bots. Border line rewards them. I sure cant catch every one that bites my line even using an albatross ring. Bots dont even need the ring and fish them up in under 20 sec.

Am I the only one that feels like the people incharge know nothing about this game?
