Some people stand as close as they can to a spawn point, set and audio trigger and pray. Unless you know the coords, this can be completely unreliable. Other people spam track. I sat in EJ for 7 hours the other day hitting track every 30s to a minute. There's no doubt that there were gaps where I forgot, but that's how we get announcements out within a few seconds of a pop. Someone has to do it...
I dunno if this has been mentioned, but I think the problem is that no one had to do this in classic. The variance was not so massive that people had to waste so much of their lives just tracking shit. This is the primary reason why most raid targets on this server are inaccessible to guilds other than the top two, outside of server repops.

I think Uth is commenting on Tamiah accusing people of using "HackEQ" which to my knowledge is a made up program.

I think you are remembering it wrong. Big guilds ALWAYS had to track targets if they wanted to beat the competition. Poopsocking isn't something created by P99 either, lol.

No, it's not true- in fact anyone who knows me, knew i had one account, one character that was not level 1, and that character is Loly.

My point is that they didn't have to track as much as they do here; please actually read my post. There were no 4-day variances in classic.

I read it brew.

And the reason there werent variances is because they had scheduled patch/maintenance days that repopped all raid targets every week.

Yea I had no idea of a hackeq from the years I've played. I do know Tamiah2011 is totally enraged at TMO and says anything and everything.

They didn't happen every week; see this page: http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/19992002.php. Live had roughly 2.18 patches every month. It wasn't a weekly scheduled thing; it was something that happened fairly randomly, so sometimes you'd get two patches within a week, and sometimes you'd only get one in an entire month. Moreover, the reason why there were no variances is of no consequence - the point is that in classic EQ, no mobs had four day windows and no one had to waste their lives sitting on a tracker for an average of 48 hours a week per raid mob.

Also, we do have patch day repops here sometimes, though not as often as Live. They're also really fun. Just throwing that out there.
