Time For Action

Rayu, I know you said you already got this hat on one of your 19s and deleted it to avoid "exploiting," long before I got it. I just want to say that no one will blame you if you take out a ticket and ask a GM to restore it on the grounds you thought it was an exploit, and now you realize it was not an exploit and everyone is going for it.



You could give me the hat and the poles and I'd just delete them again. It's an exploit.

I had them both as well, on my druid, but deleted it.



Had to use mailbox and stuff to get it. It was a hard exploit, but I pulled it off.

I posted a screenshot of a GM saying it is not an exploit. Did you not see that?



I've done more towards getting this problem solved than you with your delete button. Admit it. And maybe the nerf will come in time to avoid ANYONE showing up with one of those poles.
 
Gonna go ahead and quote some people here.



The first Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat has been obtained. This is the start of a new generation of exploits, where twinks of any level of skill can obtain serious game-breaking gear with bad luck being the only thing standing in their way.



I refuse to pay for my subscription until Blizzard fixes this. I will not wait months or years for Blizzard to take action. The luck-factor of gear should never be larger than that of the Lucky Fishing Hat. The difference between pro twinks and noobs with gear is at stake here. I will keep on making tickets until this is fixed, and I call on the twinking community to do so also. I will contact Blizzard by e-mail, forums, phone, post and any other possible way to get this done.



I will not let my BGs be run over by a guy with a lotto-ticket on his head or have myself one-shotted by a fishing pole.

Start of a new generation of exploiting? Exploiting has been going on since the release of WoW my dear, can't you remember people abusing a mailbox glitch for leg armors, mining bug etc. Also, this isn't exploting.



I fully, 100% agree with you. WoW should be won by skill, not gear.



WELL CALL ME GLORIA AND STROKE MY HAIR SUSIE. That's probably one of the most stupid things I've seen you sprout. Look around a bit at spreadsheets on EJ and even this forum. You don't see top level 80 arena players purposefully wearing gear seasons behind because it takes more skill. Not maximising your character in any way possible is just putting yourself at a disadvantge.



Ok i dont see why people are crying over this. Now a day most twinks have the normal fishing hat that gives +15 stam and weather beaten gives +40 stam thats only an extra 250 health is really not that OP. every twink can get it so it doesnt really matter.



Exactly, a rough comparision I made in the other thread about this was the old Naxx enchant which gave +16 Stamina, it's not that big a deal. Although I must admit the Fishing Pole is over the top like Enti's was.



i have seen much worse things in my 19 stint. mailbox sploits,mining bug, 450mining/herb, 300eng bombs, 100% + dodge rogues/hunters, and entis. probably more but this is what i come up with off the top of my head. will probably get fixt. if not we gona be fishing on saturdays rather then sundays now.



^ This



I say we propose somthing where anyone with the hat or pole for the matter be camped until asked, either faction. I will fully support the fagget getting his ass kicked. Im sure we all hate the fails that crutch on gear as much as the people that camped noobs to give twinks a bad name. Thanks.



Requesting Ramune to post U MAD pic.
 
White Knight up in dis ho.
 
people dont understand do they ?



lucky fishing hat = 15 stam, thats it.

weather beaten hat = 40 stam, 40 spirit, thats more then just 16 stam more, its also 40 spirit more, do you even realise what 40 spirit more gives you at level 19 ?



let's you take a priest like i am, give me weather beaten hat instead of lucky and i'll hold a hell of a lot longer then the one with just the lucky fishing hat on. its not just the pol, the hat is way too good to be used at this low level. i'm just glad level 1 twinks can't use it. it would be quite unreal. but then again a level 10 with hat on can almost destroy level 19 twinks with lucky fishing hat. what does this proove to you, that the hat itself gives a hell of a lot of advantage just by himself.



maybe you dont see it the difference on your huntard, or any other melee classes, but i can see the difference on any casters. i'm all for buffs, but this one is quite ridiculous.
 
"ridiculous and unfair" as it may be, twinking is about getting the best stuff available. You can't say "thats unfair" because the entire point of twinking is about having as much of an advantage over your opponent as possible.



Twinking is NOT about fighting other people on even terms, or calling things that are BiS exploits because they're hard to get.



Its about having a group of jerkoff friends that cant make it to 80 go roll some scrubs because its funny when people roll level ones on your server to yell at you and tell you you're bad after they lose.



It's about slandering people anonymously on the internet.



Its about being a racist on vent.



Its about calling yourself #1 regardless of whether you are or not.



And most importantly, its about having the best gear you can have and trying to get ahead of the rest of the community.



Alot of people seem to be forgetting that last part.
 
having the best gear ?

its true that having best gear help you kill, but in XP-OFF if you dont have the best gear, you get panwed by everyone. that said the problem is that not everyone can get it. you have to actually be very lucky to get it. might i remember you that some of us are still trying to get lucky fishing hat after a full 2-3 months of fishing ?



from googles to fishing hat, there is like 7 stam difference, not enough to make some fuss about it. but from googles to weather beaten hat... there is like 32 stam difference which is huge !



let me put you straight, you see a hunter with 2000 life point and 1400 mana coming your way, its clear, he has double AGM, he got weather beaten hat and got the intellect build. you're not scared of him with your own 1400 life and 1800 mana at all ?



i know i'll be scared, even more if he is buffed entirely as well sporting a good 3k life.

and thats not even a flag carrier here !



wouldn't you be scared of seeing a FC with 3000 life at 19 ?

fully buffed they easily get to the 4k life at 19 !



nah, this hat wasn'T made to be in the 19 bracket at all...

reguardless of how i see it, it shouldn't be availlable at all,

and the argument that everyone can have it, so you should get it.

well enti also was easily availlable to all, did that made us absolutely sure we wanted it ?

no, it was clear, it wasn't supposed to be here. so is this hat and pole.
 
a level 10 with hat on can almost destroy level 19 twinks with lucky fishing hat.



Not even close. Don't believe it for a minute.



The lucky fishing hat ought to be obtained on average on the 8th tournament or so. But for every twink that gets it on the first cast, there's one that fishes for years and never gets it. That's just the way probability and statistics works.



This new hat will probably take, on average, 6 months to a year for the average twink to obtain. Big difference. Huge difference. And that's really the big deal. If it were easy to get, like a quest reward or a short rep grind, I bet most people who have a problem with it now would say its fine, and that it gives clothie casters some much needed survivability.



Not so with the poles. The poles give DPS classes the ability to 1 or 2 shot other twinks (even the ones with the new hat ought not to take more than 3 shots). So, even if everyone could get it easily, it would still be a huge problem because of the severe imbalance.



That's just the way I see it. The hat's not that bad. Even a caster with it is still only just starting to be viable in the hunter-filled gulch. I hope they nerf it, sure. But let's not lose sight of the much bigger problem, which is those poles.
 
just so you know, level 10 have about the same, if not more stats then level 19 twinks.

not speaking of life and mana though.

but crit, regen and all.

might i remember you guys that level 14 and under have 300% regenration compared to level 19 twink basic 100% ?

seriously, level 10 twinks have gotten so good and so powerfull with 3.2 that they do compare to level 19 twinks.

of course in my post i said, barely rival, as in against a full twink, they get chances... but they are at a disadvantage due to them not having much talents nor having full abilities. heck they don't even have glyph yet. but that said, they do own, they do rival 19 twinks.
 
This thread made me lol pretty hard.



Rayu, who allegedly obtained SSO weps, is complaining because someone got something that makes less of a difference than half of the exploits that have existed.



Get over it and get back in line to get your hat.



Also, blizzard doesn't care. So why whine?
