Suddenly I can't fish?

[irysik]

Been fishing in Tao Khaal. All of a sudden, everywhere I go, "fish sense something amiss", all over the Azim Steppe. What happened? I tried turning game off and on again, I teleported out of the steppe and tried fishing in La Noscea and I can do it just fine. How come all the fishes in all of the Azim Steppe spontaneously got aware of me?

maybe change the locations of fishing, i think it happen to me in sometimes, but not for sure

Iirc it was a preventive measure for fishing bots. You have to exit and reenter the zone. Does that still work?

@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweugwemu - it does, although it's still odd I need to do that. I thought the mere "fish sense something off, maybe it's time to change location" which makes you to move a bit was to prevent fish bots from working properly. Been fishing for months now (I'm still a newbie at the game, I know) and it was the first time this happened.

@ForctyusGold - yeah, well, the whole Azim Steppe was turned off for me, so I started panicking, but teleporting a whole region away (Kugane) fixed it

@Ariellendera - it just happened again and I changed the region entirely to fix it - it's kind of weird that I need to do something like this in the first place. I have thought it would be something known to other players, hence the post. Now it strikes me as weird, almost as if I was a victim of a bug, or maybe someone reported me as a bot? Who knows. Good to know the support desk command, had no idea there's a way like this! Will remember about it next time!

Thank you all for responding!
