It might be a player issue, but that wont change the fact that if:
There's no bug involved here, and its just how the game works, then it works in a stupid way and should be changed. Im not talking about a handful of fish here. Remember the part where I've said i've fished up over 120 items? Yea, that was no exaggeration. If the pixiefish is truly this rare, by design, then thats stupid and should be changed.
Also, dont bring IRL fishing into this. The reason fewer and fewer people fish is because its
ing boring. I've fished before. Actually reeling in the fish is great, but waiting30 minutes to hours to get that sensation is lame, and not fun.
Terraria should be fun, above all things. Waiting minute after minute is not fun, ESPECIALLY when there are enemies nagging me and i cannot fight back because my hands are occupied with holding the rod. There are no carnivorous flying sentient lanterns shooting lasers at us in real life.
