LOL What good is /Cover when they can use /FindFriend and Ranger/Track pinpoint you?

Simple Solution: Remove them from your friends list before you hunt them. Plus it helps not to send them tells before you go after them.
I think the Ranger Skill can't pinpoint you but give the general direction that you are in. I haven't experienced a Ranger picking meout in the middle ofTat. but I could just be lucky.

/tar is alot more effective, they don't need to be on your friends list.

/areatrack is intended
/tar is not and currently is being fixed in programming
/findfriend is not an issue... if you have someone in your friends list... well that is like wearing a tracking collar.

I don't see a problem with Rangers using /areatrack to find players under cover. This is a perfectly legitmate use of that skill.

/tar is definitely a problem. Assuming you don't have your mark on your friends list and you manage to get within range while undercover without tipping off your mark, as soon as you fire a conceal shot your name is revealed in the combat log. All they have to do is look at who's hitting them and /tar.
So, not only should the /tar not work on anyone while under cover, but your name should be Xed out in the combat log as well. This will give the mark two options; run away or try to eyeball where the shots are coming from and search you out.
This could greatly benefit a BH if their mark happens to be grinding in a group. They may not be instantly aware that they are taking damage from a BH. A sudden drop in health will be a clue and looking at their combat log they can see that an unknown is hitting them for damage.
