It would be nice if when someone logs off, it leaves tracks that say something like "Some <type> tracks wander off and become lost."

Does the tracking skill ever result in anything useful, guys? The limited experience I had with it resulted in me walking a few leagues in a direction and have the tracks cease. I did an ability reset and didn't take tracking again.

Wondering if anyone has any true tales of how tracking was useful to them, and I mean something more meaningful than, " I hunted a pheasant once, it slipped away from me, and I was able to use Track to locate that pheasant instead of having to 'hunt' a second time!"

Tracking has been useful to me several times either during events or just out in the world trying to see what people are up to and 'arrange' chance meetings. I think the suggestion of having the trail end more naturally would be a great improvement.

Tracking is probably my favorite and definitely my most use ability. With a little guess work and if possible some rumors to go on, you can learn a lot about recent goings on just be seeing where people have been, and it's a good way to meet up with people for someone like me especially, who doesn't use ESP amulets. I have tracked friends and enemies alike, I have found places I didn't know about, I have observed behavior patterns. It is not a skill that hands everything to you though, you have to be smart with it, make educated guesses, and have the patience to use it.

This is a good idea, sorry I haven't gotten around to adding it yet. Got it on my list now.
