Here's what I'm confused about - El's fishing guide says the day has changed to Sat but on Aerie Peak the fat guy wasn't singing - never showed. Can we have a real time and place for this event?

Your situation is exactly why I liked the 8pm/weekday slot, even if the choice of weekday wasn't great. Some folks can only play in the evening when family obligations calm down. Creating an event that catered to that group seemed really considerate of Blizzard. Now they've moved it to a time that's apparently good for raiders and crummy for people with families. If Sunday at 2pm

I see it differently, it's not about raiders vs. casuals but rather about middle of the day being a bad time for people like me with families. Evening after the kids go to sleep is the time I can play and I was hoping for a fishing contest at this time, even if the day originally chosen (Wednesday) was less than optimal.

So at least for me, this certainly isn't about "

I guess I'm having a hard time mustering sympathy for raid conflicts, since Sunday is a very good time for folks who raid. I thought it was pretty reasonable to give Wednesday to the casual weeknite players, so there would be a fishing tourney open to those who *can't* do Sunday afternoon. So far most of the rationale I see for Wednesday being bad is coming from players who are

About the contest time issue, the reason that lots of raiders raised a stink over Wednesday night is that on EU servers Wednesday is server reset day, so just about everyone is raiding on this day. 8:00pm server is of course prime raiding/play hour. So I'm glad they changed it.

I'm sad though they changed it to middle of the day on Saturday as I can't usually login to play

Im glad they moved it from wednesday myself because that is a raid day for us and I knew i'd never get a chance to compete without giving up my raidspot. Im also glad this is another opportunity to get the achievement because, on my server at least, you still need to form a raid to win in STV !

El: The first week I did the event - I was only fishing Fangtooth Herring pools. The second week I was only fishing Glacial Salmon. I tried to select a location with lots of pools, but I don't think I was ever near a coastal area to incorporate variety into my gameplan.

The first week I did the contest, there were 3 other lvl 80s in the Fjord with me. I can only assume they were

Glad to read your account. Were you fishing the same type of pool, or changing through the hour?

EU PTRs are still at California time, so the contest is close to midnight for most Europeans. Generally people who are up at midnight on a Saturday aren't in the mood for PTRs! So there may be as few as 5 or 10 people competing on each realm (there are 4), including people who may get
