RE: About the FISH
So let's see:
Old players who've been here for 4 months and more like the whiney face who made this topic gets to fish with lower bait prices, and use fish with no downside. However, new people who just started recently have to pay double, and must get a downside? Just because the whiney baby loses in WoE/PVP to people who use fish? Did anyone tell you NOT to use fish? Go ahead knock yourself out and use fish. Seriously who gives a crap whether you die or not during WoE? With all the drama after each WoE, I won't be surprised if EDP was removed in the future.
Old players got to enjoy the server the way it is, why can't we new players who recently started get to enjoy heRO the same way it used to be?
And please don't start comparing this server with other servers, other servers are named differently, owned by different people, scripted by different people, hosted by different people. We are currently on heRO, owned by Pandora and whatever is in the server is IN IT. Don't say "There isn't fish, or costum wings on original RO servers". Well guess what? This isn't one of those servers, this is heRO, live with it.

RE: About the FISH
Honestly, I don't see fish as unbalanced. The only thing you can do with fish that you can't otherwise is heal SP greater than blue potion but less than 50% of your max. It's not even easier to get them, and not any less weight required. I think that doubling bait price is enough to make them not worth worrying about. You can buy potions, even blue ones. While you couldn't ordinarily buy yggdrasill seeds or berries, or mastela fruits, they're not difficult to hunt. It's not any more cost-efficient for anything, or all benefits put together. There are only two benefits of fish over anything else. First, you don't have to be high-level on the fishing character (in reference to mastela fruit particularly). Second, it only takes one hotkey instead of two.
Is all that worth the extra cost? That's for each person to decide for himself. Personally, I think it isn't.

RE: About the FISH
Would be fine to Namine if the status effect only applies to Nemo and Doris... a sudden half or even complete full recovery is far beyond the power of any original item almost if one is to exclude the hard-earned MVP prizes... A downside is needed to such powerful items that does not require much effort to get except patience (while the berries/seed basically forces a player to be of a certain level before they can get it. For fishing, anyone with enough fishing experience can get it, even a 1/1 novice.)
However, for the weaker fishes that serve as a slight improvement of existing items by having a combined effect, such as Salmon, Namine thinks that they should be ok already... they can do what 2 items do but it all comes at the cost of weight and time (can easily buy potions in a flash.)
So to Namine, it all depends on which fish and which status... some of the status is relatively neglectable or easily cured that it's not overly difficult to shrug it off. However, if it is say, like stun (worse possible most likely), freeze, or stoned, that is rather a tough punishment...
