The once a week fishing contest and Blizz making that part of the new achievement system has brought the worst out of the players. I came to today's fishing *late* on purpose for rare fish only, not for actual contest. Before I could finish fishing on the first cast, a raid of (I think) 10 allies ran over me and completely owned me. Since there was no way for me to communicate with allies (especially on PVP server) so that was expected. Still it seems the allies on Detheroc are losing touch if it takes their whole team more than 10 seconds to kill me (without my healing at all) but typical Detheroc allies usually have the IQ of a rock.
A few minute later someone trained a bunch of bloodsail pirates onto me. This time it was a horde, I suspect he's running griefing scheme to help someone win. I sent a polite whisper thanking him for killing me and telling him I wasn't running for the contest, Never got a reply. Anyway that one I reported since intentional training and such are frowned on.
I did get the fishing hat but it seems fishing contest are much worse since the achievement system went live.
Good job Blizzard! You are doing a good job of driving some players away because of the ill planned feature. Either make the contest run more than once a week, take the fishing contest out of achievement system, or have GM around to watch and pass 2 hours suspension to intentional griefing of any kind.
