Since I missed the 23 March 2015 ATS session tonight by LITERALLY 45 seconds...

Might it be possible to introduce a few more rare fish into the system, like the ones for Backwings formulas? They are so rare and their purpose is to be used up, so perhaps they could appear in deflation RIGs?
This please. Or at least another way to obtain the Lionfish, I don't even mind making them myself. Possibly an Alchemy formula that ONLY Level 10 alchemists who have accepted the Wing Quests can make with the final, fishy product being soul bound to said alchemist? That way, the ones out in the lakes can remain as collectible as they currently are and no one loses out. Alchemists can FINALLY complete their Wing Mastery Achievements (I, personally, ONLY need 2 Lionbacks and 1 Rubyback to finish, have EVERYTHING else needed for my final 3 wing formulas), and those who enjoy the fishing game can continue with their trophies and items uninterrupted. I have been beating my head against my desk trying to learn to fish in the Reclamation Facility for MONTHS now, to no avail. To buy the smaller fish needed to trade for the Lionfish is just as impossible with the current inflation as well.
Any help is much appreciated!

...and since then, I've come up with this...
Formula 10: *Insert Type Here* Lionfish
Cost to Craft: *insert gold amount, doesn't really matter much*
(Add a note/asterisk here)
***You MUST have a soul-bound Back Wing Quest in your account in order to craft this formula!***
Anycolor Paint - 50
Dried Seahorse - 25
Fish Scale - 25
(THIS is how most feel about these fish in general, so I thought it'd fit well!) Crying Emote Mask - 20
Fisherman's Hat - 1
Bass'Ken Waders - 15
...plus whatever else you think would be good to put in this thing...
Result:
*Whichever Lionfish the Formula represents.*
Chance of Success: Very Low (keep it somewhat tougher to make)
(Add a note/asterisk on the formula EXPLICITLY stating that...)
***Results of this formula will become soul-bound upon completion***
With the soul-bounding of the resulting Lionfish to the alchemist's account, they are used for alchemy wing formulas. Keeps them from being mass-produced just for the gold they're worth at the moment so the market isn't flooded with them causing an imbalance in the Fishing Game, AND we alchemists have a way to complete the Wing Mastery Achievement without having to go broke both virtually AND in reality.
This idea was originally brainstormed with a friend,
OLD MAN ROME, who has helped me out considerably! This kind fellow not only regularly dumps caches by the thousands that he buys with his own money into the dumpster to help out struggling alchemists, but he also donated...yes, DONATED all six wing formulas to me to aide me on my quest for the toughest Achievement to obtain on Gaia. We tried to keep within the idea of the Alchemy formulas, it's a nice mix of both gold shop items, Philosopher's Caches (gives the Emerald ones EVERY alchemist has HUNDREDS of a purpose!), Daily Chance items, and zOMG! components.
I hope you will consider our idea! Thank you much for all the work you do.
