Personally, I'm surprised so many people are for banning this. Yeah it sucks big donkey nuts. Not gonna deny that. So does every other form of tracking in EQ. We don't have a requirement to CoTH duck or anything like that in TMO, but we do require trackers to be vigilant and at the keyboard. Staring at a blank wall doing nothing is the very definition of boring to me. In a game environment where seconds or even fractions of a second is the difference between getting the shiny treasure and not, combined with new measures to prevent auto-firing, CoTH ducking was the inevitable evolution. I'm very happy that Class C was able to come to an agreement on how to race for mobs that didn't involve CoTH ducking, but FFA stand for Free For All last I checked.

If we are gonna trash on Taken, let's talk about how they avoid getting punished for being ass-hats at Sev.

If the trolls could have focused on the fact that Catherin was cheating instead of whatever personal issues she may have, maybe something would have come of that too.
I agree, more power to Taken for evolving under the current set of rules. With 9000 rules governing the raid scene, new tactics are bound to come up. Why does the solution have to be more rules? I'll never coth duck for hours on end, and I won't be upset if Taken does and wins a mob because of it.
