Okay, so I'm just trying to get the perspectives of others on this... cause I may just be overthinking it. Since the 5/22 update, it feels like the rate at which I'm catching yellow and reds have been reduced quite a bit.

I've got 2500 mastery... 2700 mastery if I put on a couple of support scrolls, but even with that, it seems like I'm barely catching anything. Now, I consistantly fish out in Valencia Sea, Depth 5... and I know at that depth, which is part of the Tigris area as well, is constantly exhausted and the fishing competition had Migaloo as the prize fish to catch, but the competition has been going since Monday. The drag in rate didn't seem to happen until the Thursday update.

Anyone else feeling this?

You mean after the update where they nerfed fishing resources, you're getting less fishing resources? Hmm.

It says in the update there is an extended price guarantee, but nothing about decreasing the rate at which those fish are caught. 

This is from the past THREE hours. I don't want glass bottles or silver keys. -_-

They fixed the abundant "bug" so everywhere is going to be exhausted again. So you're going to get less than you were the week before.

I gotcha, thanks.

I think maybe it was a combination of me overthinking it and also the bug fix. Usually, I set my character fishing at night before bed... wake up and go to work (I just make sure I didn't get booted from the game)... I come home and then sell my fish. After 13-16 hours, I'be made between 1-1.5 billion.

For the past few days, I've been off work. While I was off work, I set my character fishing and played another game. but I'd continuously check my chracter and their catches. My parents have used phrases like "polishing a turd" or "spinning my wheels"... basically I'm focusing on something that I can usually ignore. Since I had the time off and I had access to my computer I was focusing on something I usually ignore for 12+ hours before checking for results. Anyways, I guess I should do just exactly that. Set it and forget it.

its not a bug fix, its no fun allowed fix, lets be real
