At its best it makes everyone a ranger tracker

Better than a ranger: ShowEQ has infinite range, and tells you what the mob is wielding, so you can zone in and instantly know if it's up, where, and whether it spawned with the sword you want.
As for the warping, I think Secrets' plan is to rely on human GMs and player reporting, ie. how Live EQ dealt with it, but I'm ... skeptical of that plan.
It might have worked with an army of paid live GMs, but P99 has shown the limits of relying on a much smaller, all volunteer GM team, and that's
with anti-cheat code!
I suspect the egregious cheaters, like the guy who warps during prime playtime hours to a just-spawned Ancient Cyclops in SRo, will likely get reported and caught. The more subtle cheaters though, like the guy only warps when no one is around to see him, will last a lot longer, and as long as they last they'll keep denying legit players access to items.
And the guy who never warps, he just happens to make a beeline to the best named in random zones? I just don't see the staff having the bandwidth to sit and watch all the players for that sort of behavior, and it'd be almost impossible for players to prove, so I expect that form of cheating to be rampant on Quarm.
