Ye bozo that’s how the chat is supposed to look when you do this method. Idk what more you want. This was commonly done and I believe still is.
Since you won’t answer, I’m just going to assume it doesn’t.
As everybody has been telling you, by casting again before you loot the previous cast, you’ve preempted the loot window and forced it to close. Not a bug 
I said I was making a video and you know I said that so knock off saying I won’t answer you and causing problems.
Here’s the video I don’t care how bad the audio sounds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6znFgZaXAQ
Now get lost and quit coming into my topics and starting problems.
Not defending anyone, nor will I ever. I call it as I see it, and you sir are not a good person by your responses on these forums. Maybe self reflect a bit and if you don’t have anything positive to say, just sit out of the convo.
Replies to the replies that started with me aren’t going to be used for your argument.
You don’t get to ignore the 3 weeks of what people did to my topics over and over including this one, then come in have had the testicular fortitude to say that line of crap you just said.
You are a real piece of work!
Get your facts straight before making flawed statements and accusations you didn’t bother to check out before saying anything.
This is exactly what I’m describing. You just recast. No loot window or anything. You just get the skill because you did successfully catch a fish but you never prompted the window. Thus the skill increase. You are basically showing a video that every fishing addon has done since 2004. This is how people normally level fishing in classic congratulations. you figured it out after 20 years.
Good. Lord. Almighty.
The act of casting again automatically closes your loot window for you. I realize your entire premise here is that you don’t see the loot window. Welcome to networked gaming.
Your video didn’t tell us anything we didn’t know from your very first post. You are sending the instruction to start casting in roughly the same time period that you’ve told the server that you’ve looted. The server receives both instructions from you, awards you the skill up, and the instruction to start the cast. The instruction to start the cast happens as or before the server is going to tell you what your loot is, so it just closes the window and doesn’t bother to send you the loot window, because you issued a command to close it (by starting another fishing cast).
It’s not a bug, it’s the server correctly processing the instructions you give it and sending the correct responses back. Had you been slightly later on the recast you’d have seen a flicker of the loot window before it disappeared, not unlike if you loot a mob and then move right after. On that very same note, this is the exact same beahviour as if you loot a mob and them move out of range at the same time.
We could go through the likely message exchange between the client and the server, but I really don’t think you’re in a position to have that discussion in a positive way. Just accept that you’re mistaken here and move on. It’s not a big deal.

I read this whole thing and watched the video am I allowed to reply?
Definitely not a glitch, you’re just casting again before the game catches up. It needs to present the loot window, and perform the auto-loot. Like he said, welcome to networked gaming. You’re causing yourself not to get the fish with your own actions (going too fast)
I don’t know what a good analogy here is. What if you’re reloading a gun in an FPS and try to shoot it before it’s reloaded, and that’s been slightly delayed by ping. Is that a glitch? or is it you failing to engage with the timing and flow of the game state
I would suggest the “faster auto loot” option in leatrix plus or the dedicated addon for faster auto looting if you’d like this looting step to be sped up a little bit. Maybe get on an ethernet connection or move closer to the server too. That or wait the quarter second before recasting.
Otherwise, I’m pretty certain everyone in this thread has understood what you’ve been trying to express (albeit poorly) this entire time
Can you imagine how pumped OP was when he ‘discovered’ this glitch? He was probably looking around (in his own house) like he found $10,000 on the side of the road that everyone else somehow missed.
I imagine he felt the same as if he had won Publisher’s Clearing House (boomers love this) or submitted a super valuable antique on Antique Road Show (they love this too, but so do I)

Thanks, yes exactly. Fishies are slippery and impatient beings, whereas a dead bear stays put 
But you can NOT close the fishing lootbox, destroy an item from your inventory if full, to make room for fishy and then loot.
Closing/not closing is the key for fishing as opposed to any other loot boxes. I do not know what Tubbly can get from this, as I do not know very much about programming.
EDIT:
And sorry for not replying. I live in EU and it’s now almost 10 am here. I went to bed in the middle of the discussion.
Well you can though, both the fishing and the skinning one. You just walk away from it without interacting. In the case of skinning, it just auto loots it into your inventory. In the case of fishing, it would appear that if you interrupt the looting cycle it just drops the loot.
Actually, I wonder if you can do this same thing with skinning, preempting the loot box message from the server by moving out of range
Haha all good!
The OP is so incredibly dense that several attempts like yours have been made to no success. Just let him believe he found something special so he doesn’t end up taking it out on women or something

I’ll try later on
fish loot box stays as long as you do nothing to close it, and as said, you can open inventory, destroy something to make a space, and then loot.
How skinning behaves there? I’ll try.
I think what you’re describing is normal loot behaviour, once you allow it to pop up. I’ve been talking about exceptional loot behaviour, where you’re deliberately messing with the normal message sequence to interrupt it, as in the case of what the OP is doing.
Honestly, I might have lost track of what we were discussing here lol. I too went to bed, it’s a whole new day and I remember very little from the last

I get to do whatever I want. Besides, I wasn’t even talking about you. But since you are mentioning my reply to someone else, i’ll point out that you argument is ridiculous.
This dude is desperate to be the victim.
