Its used in social sciences in general (particularly economics and political science) to talk about problems with "collective action." Or having people do whats best for everyone rather than whats best for themselves. This is a problem because their a situations where when everyone does whats best for themselves, things work worse for each individual overall.

To do whats best for myself in Aftermath, I should never track and only log into raids that take minimal time investment. If everyone did this however, Awakened would get everything. So the people that currently track in Aftermath have a "free rider problem." Where those that don't track are able to to get the rewards that come from tracking.

I guess it never occurred to me that most people never heard of the free rider problem.

Man JFK is droppin bombs on these nerds.

I have another definition for you to look up, you over-educated idiot. Jargon. Everyone understands what you mean by free ride. "The Free Rider Problem" might be more of an esoteric interest of business major tools in college, wearing their precious little suits while learning the best way to suck the blood out of our country.

You're thoughts on tracking and its relative importance to showing up are directly due to being led by the crazy fucks who ripped up TMO over the same issue. The real flaw is that your system doesn't consider tracking and attendance equal. When the hardcore trackers start thinking they are gods compared to lesser mortals, they do stupid things like gutting a top tier raid guild and taking all of it's members. And making new policies consistent their own play style.

You could track all you want, but if others don't show up it's a wasted effort. So the way around that is that EVERYONE tracks at the same time. And then you burn out your whole guild. Then Dottedup has to recruit the whole fucking EC tunnel again. It's absolute insanity and you idiots need a rotation for your own good before you start your own good, mental health, and person hygiene.

Has it been eliminated though? Because you've got a guy from your guild bitching about non-trackers going on about his elevated opinion of himself because he tracks. That exactly like our old guild (the bad one, not the good one).
