Well I’ve officially gone on a fishing strike until 7-Seas stops taking gems without giving anything in return. I’ve requested that they fix their program numerous times for over 4 months now, but to no avail.
The problem is that they have a level up limit of 50 for any fish. Once you reach that limit, you can continue to catch the “crowned” fish, but you won’t receive anything for it, even if you paid gems to catch it quickly.
In my case, I’ve maxed out the ‘Dogfish’ which I used to catch with the 10 minute worm. Now it also appears with the 1 hour marshmallow. It’s just so frustrating… caught 3 times in a row using worms - switched to 1 hour and caught it again 2 days in a row. Finally, left it hanging on the hook and decided not to play anymore until the issue is resolved.
As an ex-programmer it seems like a simple one line of code fix…
After the random selection sequence add an ‘If ,Then’ statement.
If selected fish has a “crown”, repeat selection sequence.
The other option is to award gems for catching a “crowned” fish.
1 gem for worm bait, 10 gems for marshmallow bait, etc. That way if an individual paid to catch it quickly then they get their money back.
Already asked for a refund when I paid to catch it quickly, but they wouldn’t do that either.
