It's the latest iteration of a rule that moved the scene of poopsocking away from mobs' spawn point. When there was no rule like this, 100+ bozos would sit on a mob's spawn point spamming attacks/abilities/clickies/petattack to get fte/kill it.

When regulating only that you couldn't be on the spawn point, it led to areas like poop mountain (on trak), where the nerd herd simply huddled one hundred feet away from the mobs spawn point.

This rule now where you can only have two bozos passed the zone line now means there is an invisible 'starting line' where pullers have to start from once the mob spawns. Anyone beyond the starting line before a mob spawns is considered a tracker. You can have two trackers in use at a time, and they can only track--not assist in the pull.

Of the poopsocking meta games, this iteration is not the worst.
