I think I can understand the nerfing of fishing. Dispite that, some of us still like to fish. I've finally hit 300 fishing and have found places requiring 400+ fishing level to catch fish. I'm sorely dissapointed that of the 5 fish catchable in this area, two of them have no documented use.
Yes, high level fish, cooked properly, are useful and sellable to players. The uncookable fish should be usefull for something besides vendor at 70cp each. Electric Eels and Plated Armorfish are my current gripes. I don't need to know what they are for, I just need to be comforted by Blizzard to know that they are useful for something. In 5hrs of fishing at various parts of Deadwind Pass, I pulled 10 Armorfish and a stack or so of Lightning Eels. In addition, I pulled out 3 non-fish items: 2x Mana potions and 1 strong, iron-bound lockbox. The latter required a Truesilver Key to open and contained... thick leather. Perfect, super good in fact.
I can see nerfing low-level fishing. Nerfing a tradeskill that takes myself and other non-botting players possibly 100 hrs to master, it just seems not right. How about un-nerfing the 300+ areas a bit? At the very least, assume some of us have the determination to achieve 300 level fishing and make the fish DO something.
End of rant...for now. :D
