If Spearfising Gone.... Spearfishing Achievements Gone?

[Gospel]

Umm, doesn't sound like they're removing the achievements. If anything, they may be getting rid of spear fishing but they are not getting rid of the second hand tool function. They're still keeping all the Grades in all the areas they intend to add them at like 1,2,3,4,5 etc. It wouldn't make sense for them to remove the achievements if the actual Grade things you need to net/fish/spear w/e aren't changing. You'll just be approaching those grades with a new mechanic or Second hand tool now.

Short and sweet version: Second hand tool mechanic may be changing but the achievements are -NOT- The achievements only focus on the Grade locations. They aren't going to punish players who have been using their second hand tool. If you miss out on these spear fishing achievements now, don't sweat it. They'll be in ARR, just that now you will be finishing off the rest of the old achievement under a new name and mini game.

Can SE provide a little more information (like the above) on what is being removed so I can adjust gameplay accordingly? Or do we have to wait one day before servers go offline for that information? >.>
