Hi, i went to “vega de tuercespina” for the sunday fishing competition. So while i was fishing, 2 players grieffed my activity placing their mounts over my fishing hook. So i couldn’t fish. I screenshot them and told them i would report them at the forums, they didnt care and said “im sooo scared” and followed me typing “so u make your report worthy”.I have the screenshot, but the forum says i cant include links nor images.
All players are temerary, until they face the consequences of their actions. Please blizzard, help us build a better comunity.
You have to report them for abusing in game mechanics to cause grief.

Calling out players by name on the forum is a tos violation and could get you a suspension. I tend to dance on the knife’s edge of the tos but even I don’t risk calling out players by name here.

I’ve always been tempted to dip into the water over a bobber but that’s letting the intrusive thoughts win. There’s thinking it then there’s doing it. Either way I suggest deleting this and being mad on your own, otherwise you’ll end up in trouble from the vultures and trolls in the forums.
Remove the names it’s against ToS, also there’s a simple way to fish with people on your hook, you move the camera so that it’s very close to your hook. I’ve had people do it to me as well.

As others have said, you need to edit your post, OP, and delete the names. Calling out players on the forums can get you banned.
As for the fishing contest, there are people who do that. It stinks, but if they get enough reports a GM will more than likely look at it. There are actually two fishing contests. One in STV, and another in Northrend. Personally, I recommend the Northrend one, as it’s much easier to win. That’s how I got my Salty title.

Report and move on, telling someone you reported them is going to cause more grief for yourself in the long run as it just emboldens them further
Also take the names out. No good getting yourself actioned.
Thanks everyone for ur comments. It feels good to read nice people and actually good tips for this kind of behaviour.

I think you can use the addon better fishing and the interact key to interact with the hook, regardless of people putting their mount over the bobber. However, the interact key’s range in classic is lower than the max range of the fishing bobber, so you’ll need some clever positioning to make sure that the bobber cast is in range. I would fish with a water walking potion while facing the shore to limit how far the bobber could be cast.
you should report it but ya when im on my druid and i go to get a herb or ore from under water and i see some one fishing my mind goes look at the derpy seal dance
Reporting them on the forums isn’t going to do anything
I believe you can still send emails to hacks@blizzard.com. Even if you had the rank to post pictures here, the post would be taken down as you’re not allowed to call out other players here.
Fishing competitions always brought out the best in people.
