well i dont mean usless, like i said , its very good for helping to track player jedi, but still if u are guarding a base that is suppossed to be attacked, and u are out scouting for attackers, if u dotn know anyones name, then you cant tell if it is friend or foe coming.. i would rather it say just rebels or imperial rather then there names. in fact that would be more realistic. ifa real life tracker found some sort of boot print he would be able to say, for example," this is an u.s. army issued boot print" or whatever, not "this is the boot print of john smith". and yes i know all rebel or imperials dont wear the same boots in the game, but your tracks should still get tagged with what faction u are with.

it is very useful and if your using it for pvp remember not all peopel are unsearchable so you simply use /who imperial or /who rebel and simply cross refrence it

yes...

/who <name>

/who rebel or imperial

/who <guildshortname>

but /who only works if they haven't set themselves anonymous.

Who cares what the names are?

You areatrack and see 10 or more players in one area, and they are not in the direction of your base.

Guess what, you just found the attackers. Like I care about names?

Now, being a mean nasty, I like to aggro nearby animals and let them chase me (covert) thru the camp I find. Or, I have been known to dump a scanner and turret in the way, just for giggles. Like within range of their camp.

player tracking is definitely not useless lol ever since I dropped my ranger skills I've been thinking of going back for /areatrack alone hehe

I have to disagree. I wouldn't say useless, limited, but not useless.

I've used it many times to determine where imps are camping, just by knowing a few names out of a group of people all at one location.

am i the only one that thinks player trackign is useless, all that comes up is the peoples names, i can barley remember soem of the peoples names in my guild, how is a name list gonan help me.I think it would be awsome if it atleaset told you if the persons was rebel, imperial, or nuetral. you can already tell a persons first and last name by there tracks they leave, so why not what faction they work for. right now they only way its usefull is if your trackinga jedi in the middle of no where and u already now his name from the terminal. But then again not all rangers are bounty hunters

With area track for players, I have killed up to 45 imperials in one day. That is I prevented 45 faction missions from being completed.

So yes it is a usefull skill, especially if you track them to thier faction missions, track for npc's and that will show thier intentions.

Last night I was doing missions while overt in a city and a small group of rebels kept hrassing the town, buzzing in, killing people and leaving, hovering ouside the city limits. Back when I was a Ranger I'd have had no trouble tracking the small group and leading my friends to them, but not having tracking I felt boxed in. lol tracking is extremely valuable at times

I assume you're a Bounty Hunter because you're complaining about a perfectly useable skill.
