In all seriousness,

Tracking was a burden shared by a lot of TR members. Flame if you want but it was legitimate. You could always get good guild chat during mob windows, at any time of the day, because people were sitting on tracking mobs multi-tasking between tracking / irl.

I agree with Friday, I think tracking sucks and it's a burden for everyone.

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 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.

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.
