With todays maintance you nerfed fishing even more. As result, fishing is pretty much useless, lets see this points.
The cost of getting 1 fish out of watter compared to the reward are complety unbalanced, You have to invest over 600kk to get your character ready for fishing and then it cost like 20k to get a fish wich has a random of giving you nothing or some mats, after this you need tons of this mats to craft a hat that you cant really sell to other players because market is flooded with hundred and hundreds of hats and there is absolutely no demand and if you try to npc them you get only 25k back.
For people who is trying to fish to get pendants they cant compete with bots that have inventories full entirely of pendants, the more expensive pendant was M Attack one, now it goes for 20million, the saddest part is that everyone has them already so there is no demand at all because all population has the pendant they need. And servers population is not going anywhere to be increased
Even trying to get stew is not profitable at all, you have to spend a bunch of adena in shots and baits and then you have to compete with all bots that have million of fish so they sell the stew for even lower price than it takes to make it LOL.
So tell me ncsoft, why did you put this "awesome" feature and then you make it complety useless to the normal player? there is no reason for this to exist.
welcome to nc$oft ,
first they made huge mistake in market with that party hat recipe 70% which cost u 1 fish jewel.and when u sell it to npc u take 200k adena
ex:
if u have 1000 fish jewel u get 1000 party hat recipe 70% u sell them 1000x200k=200kk
so the last month was bot heaven they would never need something more than that
u can check ah now in any server u will see ppl selling 5kk fish jewel so u can imagine how much adena they made :) 10k fish jewel = 2kkk adena so 100k fish jewel is 10kkk
and u can keep counting like that so u can end up with a guy or many guys now in game have 200-800 billion adena new wave that will keep rmt up for 2 or 3 years in game
+1 for the idea of shutting it down
And why selling in npc 200 recs for 200k each was a mistake???
It was NOT a mistake if game is made to be affordable played legit,cause as legit you need to find around 20bilions to go talismans up to loging,10bilions for your top dyes,20 bilions for a set of epic jewles(not the rare ones),20 bilions for your 95/99 armor-weapons(not the oed ones),50billions for a +++++++99 weapon,100 bilions for the blessed epic jewles and,and,and,and.
A player who has 5-6hours per day to spend in this game and also will do others in game activites like raids,xp,siege,help some friend,watch market,oly,coc,cant stay fishing average more than 2-3 hours per day,so his income would be logical and the adena he had to spend on learning fishing skills would make logic too.
The excuse of nerfing eveything so botters dont get big profits is ridicilus.Noone would buy from botters if he could make ingame his adena/items.The more rare you make something,the most his price raise since there are people willing to pay for and endless ''people'' who work to make it.
