[Fishing] Catch Cata fish/Volatile Water

[Mr.Bob]

Server: EU
Fished: Hyjal/Uldum
Methods: Pirox Fishbot
Fished alone - No Trade - No AH
Transactions: Fished with Main !Char!, sent to Twink !Char!
Status: All Fish there. No Bann

[XaynE]

I've an idea: Buy a completely new "vanilla" account for 5.99 (or whatever the price is) and make a character there with a guild bank and store the fish/other goods there! Then you don't risk a ban on your main account atleast. Well, that is if they can't trace the goods BACK to you.. And by the way, if you've fished stuff yourself, it can be seen on your Armory profile in the Recent Activity feed. Example: "Completed step [Striped Lurker] of achievement [The Limnologist]."

They are slowly going through server by server and removing all the fish, it doesn't really matter what you do to "hide" them they are being taken out - mailbox, AH, opened, unopened, alts, etc. All of mine were removed from various alts in banks, AH, mailbox, etc and also the ones I sold and emailed to friends - so far haven't received a ban yet, hope I don't. Blizzard does take their time with bans though, the people still farming in Uldum are just dumb.

proof? dont talk shit like that; 3 damn days till cataclysm and its weekend now, u really think theyre working through every server just to delete theses few fish? they cant ban u for something u did about 10 days ago.... right now they just want to make ppl nervous...

[WizardTrokair]

Still got all my fish and other items fished up in Uldum and Hijal (EU) - Wasnt sure if I would get banned so opened a ticket.... The results suprised me. Especially as bugging was necessary to fish in Hijal

Now this I find fascinating. We know GM results may vary... but seeing this SS does make me wonder about doing the same thing...

Today, actually about 5 minutes ago I logged on and all my fish was gone. I didn't get a ban but all the fish is gone... anyone else?\

Edit: I logged into the toon with all my leathers and they are still here.

[audiofly]

I sended to an alt... i hope i dont get a ban.

[Pantho]

I have not been banned yet.

I sent them all to my RAF account, neither banned. Around 20-30 stacks of uldum fish using pirox fishbot.

[aiky]

Is this on EU or US servers ?

[dragonassasin]

Well I'm on US. I would say the server I was on but i never saw anyone farming the leather but me.

i would like to see some proof instead of hearing it from some people who got none.

. EU here with full bank of fishes and volative water, they still havent removed mine atleast.


And heres some rep to Aldun!

[LeetHaxor]

I just logged on and I still have all my fish and volatile water.

Fished out of Hyjal and Uldum, only 2 others that I know of on the server fished in either place, as they put them on the AH.

[Stadenko]

I'm just guessing here but I'd be willing to bet blizzard is punishing those who used the griffin, levitate or any other tricks to get to spots where they could fish, and not bothering the people who just simply water walked or hugged a wall to get to the edge of no-mans land and cast into cata zones.

I personally am one of the people who just strolled up and cast into Twilight Highlands from Arathi Highlands, and Uldum from Tanaris. I'd be bummed if they took my fish, but I'd be furious if they gave me a ban.

[Proceed]

Account Action: 24 Hour Suspension
Offense: Entered and gained goods in a forbidden area
Details: Accessed expansion content through abuse use of game mechanics. All goods gained from these areas have been removed from the characters involved.

Just got this 20 mins ago,
I was flying to Dalaran and went smoking, as I came back i was banned.
Fished in Uldum and Hyjal last Sunday + Monday, fish was sent to a twink, mail was opened to have no unread mail notification.
I did the cooking daily in Orgirmmar before.
Only one person knew about that fishing, and I really doubt that he reported me.
Not tired to sell it.
EU - server .

EDIT:
I'm on a German server, but my client is English and I recieved a message from the "English Game Maser Team", if that matters.

Cheers Proceed

I multibox, and while doing some lowbie quest on one account, I saw that a toon from my 2nd account logged in... I inmediatedly tried to log on but I got the message "A character with that name already exists". So I tried a few more times and finally log in, ran to my bank and all of my fish was gone. Additionally there was an in game message from Customer Suppport with subject " Blizzard Customer Service" saying:

"Thank you for taking the time to contact the World of Warcraft Game Master department. A response has been sent in regards to your petition to your registered e-mail address.If you have not yet received a response after some time please visit your account management webpage..."

No line about a ban or something, so I hope no ban get me. BTW, im on a US server.

EDIT: Well and the same email that others got just arrived:
