It gets doubly annoying the more I think about it. Finding these groups, by what you and others have been saying, SHOULD require a channeler who specifically practices Gate and Locate Life/Object. Which is such a skewed approach.
The more I see track mentioned, the more I realize that a lot of you don’t understand how tracking works. The problem isn’t tracking these groups with auto-track at all. The problem is that the tracks
do not exist.
I would love to see Draz/Shinji/You track a gating smob group with the use only the use of track. My mind would be absolutely blown.
I don't have a clue how you got any of that from what I said. Keep up.
I said gate/locate/zone sense barely affects high-caliber smobbing. It's main use is in dragging large groups around, and it lowers the "cost" in bringing new players around to equip them both in speed (because of both reduced speeds from not knowing horse loads or being able to dism/ride for refreshes fast enough) and risk (either moving faster than any trollocs can move, or not leaving tracks both keeps you safe, if you have neither then its added risk).
not sure how you got a gating smob group out of: I promise you if the players of me, draz and shinji have one channie between us
we can outrun any group of trollocs with vials and autotrack even without gate if we wanted to, or catch up to any of them following tracks

Maybe, instead of hiding entire MUD-wide dynamics behind the idea of poor struggling newbies needing to gate around, a good project would be teaching to be as amazing at running as you, Shinji, and Draz. Maybe eventually they want to actually fight sometimes like Draz.
What makes you think we didnt, and that I still am not???? Have you ever heard of Relena? We had groups of people we got as brand new players who could consistantly hag a horse 3x per tic every tic and refresh at 20 seconds after the tic and 45 seconds after the tic, and move a group of 6 extremely fast. I distinctly remember a bunch of complaining every time we did it too to hit a group 8 zones away.
