Please please please
Leave it in even if it's buggy, we will deal with it. From a logical stance it make sense that a recon specialist/thief would be able to track. If you want to fix it leave it in and give us a glimmer of hope that it will be fixed and not just shoved to the side. Heck I would even live with it as it is. If you want to make it more in line with what the new concept is, put area track in exp 4 or master scout and just give the option for animals there. Place the ability to track npcs and pcs in the ranger class to bring it in line with the direction you are going. But by all means leave it in!

Ok lets try this again
Tracking is going away because it can see all invisability. Thats WHEN it worked. Plus it was affected by changes in altitude and everything else. We could track CSR's. This is not what the devs wanted. And Im pretty sure we could see force cloaked jedi and hidden rifleman as well.
This is being removed because they dont want to invest the time in fixing it. And i can only imagine how deep into the code it would take to fix it. And now is a good time to get rid of it while we are getting our revamp.

Those things are like the only things that made me valuable in PvP when i still was a Ranger (and nowon my Ranger alt) Back when Droids where pritty much broken long, long agoi remember i wasdabbling with Tracking to try and find Jedi grinding on Endor around the Starports

I used tracking to watch for BH's around my guilds jedi back around Pub 9. Believe me i dont want to see it go away either. I just dont think the devs can code it to hide some things and not others

taking away are track is such a waste, its one of the reasons i re-grinded ranger (tracking and the huge ass camps) but now im not too sure if ill keep ranger when the revamp hits. Time will tell, glad its getting some love though

I think that even though tracking is bowing out, they have given rangers some very nice toys, that may make up for some of it.

If areatrack is removed, that's fine with me. However consider the following:
*limited areatrack in scoutline (pre-req line for CH) to at least to be able to track CREATUREs.
Direction, type, distance. No people.
Otherwise CH without trakcing will have a very hard time finding those rare pets (babies).
Even harder then it is now!
I've tried tracking the boar, farmer, pirate, but with limited success.
What I used it for mostly, is to track where I can find baby critters to tame.
That was te most usefull skill (besides the harvesting) ranger did offer me.

I think that area track should be removed until the stealth code is a bit more mature in its implementation and the spawning issues and wild spawn issues are resolved. Then perhaps area track can be reinserted for many reasons including the wide RP and immersion it can add to the game
