Sorry to hear about this. But it's not too surprising actually. Verant
hasn't typically been very supportive of any type of play other than
questing and killing. I believe their philosophy is that tradesskills are
a means to more quests.

Because some people exploited an mistake in the fish fillet/ fresh fish
prices to make exorbitant amounts of money on Sullon Verant in typical
fashion has responded childishly by choosing the worst possible solution.

There I was happily fishing/baking my way to being able to slowly work up
some tradeskills when suddenly the patch comes down today.

Now the one way to actually make some small amount of money without
endlessly fighting and camping and killing is gone. A fisher can now
no longer make even the small amount of slow money they once could by
fishing then baking their catch and selling what they made.

It would have been a simple change to just make merchants charge more for
the Fresh Fish they sell and eliminate the infinite profit syndrome that
caused the problem, but that would not allow them to strike back at those
who bested them...
