Re: Autohunting vs Autotracking

I want to be clear on the rules around Authohunting.
The rule was put in place from two sides. Using a trigger to "cling" to an enemy and parse out their direction to automatically follow them (auto hunting) and conversely, using maps/triggers to run far distances. These are both very difficult to capture, but they are both part of the rule as a means of making PvP more "manual" with respect to movement to hunt/escape.
What is NOT against the rules is creating a trigger to provide a player with a visual cue that indicates the direction you a player has gone, or, even if this is a trigger to automatically track and let you know the direction. This is as long as there is NO automated movement.
It is automated movement (like the old cling) that is not permitted. If I have to manually hit the direction to follow someone, even if assisted by a trigger (telling me the direction I should go) this is fine.
Like I said, the rule is against AUTO hunting. Conversely, people should not be using triggers/maps to run "across the continent in 10 seconds" to escape.
What may be worth exploring is a potential shift in tracking, but that's a different conversation that will be undertaken including AoB.
