So I know this post is from 2022, but I figured I’d respond to it anyways since this is the exact issue I’m having now… in 2024…
Look. I get it. In the over all grand scheme of things, being able to change the color of a fishing pole in a videogame isn’t very important.
However, yall (Blizz) are making your new motto all about respecting players time and efforts spent on things in game.
Cant ya make a script line or something that overrides the colors after they have been unlocked? Maybe make it so the chievie mail gives us the green and blue variations instead of the now useless rock?
I spent 2-4 hours a day for SIX DAYS taking time out of doing other junk, to finish this achievement.
I get that its likely a simple oversight, but thats a tremendous slap in the face to the time spent working on such a time sink. To have worked on something taking a decent chunk of time, only to find out AFTER the fact that it doesn’t work anymore.
There’s not exactly a connect between the guides telling you how to work on the achievement, and posts like these talking about the bug.
Even on the wowhead page theres an entire 1 comment mentioning this bug and its someone asking if there’s a fix and its worded like they believed the issue was on their end.
Relogging, reloading ui, disabling all addons, NOTHING player side fixes this issue.
