It's the same rule, and it made plenty of sense during Kunark.

How would it have made sense? You can't even exp in a zone like Sebilis or KC while a boss is in window or your guild is permanently DQed when it pops? Even if you all zone out and join the raid starting at the zone line? What new player is going to intuitively understand this?

No, it was stupid. It was a hacked around way of solving a problem. The problem being that variance on a per-mob basis was a bad design idea from the outset, and there weren't programmatic ways of solving the issue.

The tracker rule and no camping on bosses aren't the same rule. You could have zero trackers allowed and force players back to the zone in upon repop. Tracking shouldn't even be a thing, as its equivalent to socking.
