But you shouldn't consider Razor use the standard for gameplay. Because it wasn't in T2A

If you think it should, you might as well remove black pots and night sight items from the game, as well.

but it was legal. Enforcement or not. Those programs were against policy.

Changing gameplay mechanics to fit around third-party programs should not happen.

UO assist was not illegal. It was an approved UO program. It did not have quite the functionality that razr had though.

i do agree that we shouldn't be changing the game to suit its increased automation :D
But I cant see fishing being any more fun by manually clicking it than watching your computer clicking it

I suggest working on pirate talk and pirate songs while fishing.

When I was a lad in a fishing town
My old man said to me:
"You can spend your life, your jolly life
Sailing on the sea.
You can search the world for pretty girls
Til your eyes grow weak and dim,
But don't go fishing for a mermaid, son
If you don't know how to swim"


'Cause her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
I loved that girl with all my heart
I only liked the upper part
I did not like the tail


So I signed aboard of a whaling ship
And my first very day at sea
There I spied in the waves,
Reaching out for me
"Come live with me in the sea said she,
Down on the ocean floor
And I'll show you many's a wonderous thing
That you've never seen before


So over I jumped and she pulled me down,
Down to her seaweed bed
A pillow made of tortoise-shell
She placed beneath my head
She fed me shrimp and caviar
Upon a silver dish
From her head to her waist was just to my taste
But the rest of her was a fish


'Cause ...


Then one day, she swam away
So I sang to the clams and the whales
"Oh, how I miss her seagreen hair
And the silvery shine of her scales
Then her sister, she swam by
And set my heart awhirl
From her head to her waste was an ugly fish
But the rest of her was a girl


'Cause her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
I loved that girl with all my heart
I did not like the upper part
And that's how I get my ...

Can you really pull up lvl 2 maps from fishing (even if it is rare?).

As far as razor is concerned with fishing, razor does nothing for you that old school in-game macros with a heavy stapler can't do.

Fishing was boring back in era as well.

lvl 2s come from serpents you may fish up. not directly from fishing.

Well, it depend how you look at it.

Sure, you don't fish up serps, but there's going to be an increase in spawn. If you wanna fight serps, go for them.

And what you call a "nerf" I call a improvement in Risk vs. Reward.
