I'm not the one saying I like to go out solo (I don't like to solo; if I did I would play a solo class), that people should be losing their dps, that people should be losing their in-combat run speed, etc. If track were really what a rog/pred really only had going for them, there is no way I would feel that other people should get something that warns them. Track plus high dps is incredibly overpowering. If it were only the dps, then you'd see more casters with high titles -- and if it were the track, you'd see more bards with high titles. Truth is, track gives a huge advantage, overpowering, whether or not you'd like to admit it. I'm also not saying take out track completely -- but please, being able to track a group, know their approximate levels, or know if they ARE grouped or solo, being able to do massive dps from a distance away or evenat close range and in seconds kill someone and evac away with NO DANGER to themselves IS overpowered. The reason why most people with high titles are rogs/preds (I'm talking master and overseer and I KNOW there are a few exceptions, I said MOST) is not because the best players choose those classes. It's because that combination IS a bit too powerful.
No, it really isn't "overpowered", DPS and tracking is what a predators/rouges are supposed to do. There are classes for every taste and playstyle. When you go to character select to create a new character, there is some nice basic information about all the classes there... for example:
Rangers are unrivaled in their ability to hunt foes and scout dangers in the untamed wilds of Norrath. Known for sneaking safely through dangerous territory, Rangers use stealth, perception, and cunning to seek out enemies and fell them from a distance with a deadly volley of arrows. and
The Assassin is the master of sinister strikes and opportunistic attacks. Espesially skilled at suprising unwitting opponents, they strike suddenly and inflict massive damage. Assassins are known for using deadly poisons to debilitate their targets before finishing them off. But maybe you want them to be something else, is that it?
