Unintentional increased reeling speed
in聽progress
TelescopeLens
Currently, there is a bug in FS that increases reeling speed when user does 'certain actions'. This bug can be used anytime, anywhere, as long as you know how to use it. Besides there are no restrictions.
I heard this bug has been around for a long time, but it recently start to spreads to many people. It makes this game easier for users and makes the competitive system to meaningless.
Please fix this bug for users of FS.
* To prevent further spread of this bug, I can't tell about this 'certain actions'. If you want to know how to trigger the bug, please find 'TelescopeLens' on FS Discord.
* Anyone who played FS before may know this situation bacause they can also see that a lot of people use this bug in recent weekly fish caught leader board.
Thank you.

Thanks for telling us how to find how to use the glitch!

Vault Dweller: If you use the glitch to catch a lot of fish in an unnaturally short time, you may get flagged for cheating. Even though it's technically not hacking, you'd be intentionally doing something to gain an unfair and unintended advantage in the game. Noticeable suspicious numbers or visible actions have gotten people in trouble before.

beckster75: OR it can land you on leaderboards and get you a crowned rod..

Vault Dweller: Rapid leaderboard progression is actually one way people can check for cheaters (as certain numbers within a timeframe are impossible to achieve legitimately). You also can't possibly obtain the Crowned Rod without winning an event hosted through the Discord server. Seriously just don't try to cheat, because you'll risk a permanent ban from the game. Plus, being at a high spot on leaderboards doesn't get you anything special besides having your name and a fish or creature number visible to other players at the time.

As I said in discord the other day, I have triggered it accidently (I think...) because my rod started to reel in crazy fast and it was only a common. I also think there is a glitch that does the opposite to this one. I have not upgraded my rod (its a lovestone rod) and i caught a mythic starfish but when i was reeling it in, it was really slow. Could someone pls confirm and reply if this has happened to u before.

I have occasionally had a glitch where my fishing rod started out bent as it would be when reeling a fish in, and it caused the reeling to finish in as few as 2 clicks which is abnormally fast. I didn't know there was a way to intentionally trigger it, though. I would easily fix it at the time by changing fishing rods.
