Game Mechanics: Track - Targets not showing

As mentioned before, I need to know exactly what is broken about it.

In the screen shot I posted you can see me tracking in the Hole, and the ability is greyed out showing I had clicked it right before taking the screen shot, and there is only 2 mobs on the list. Yet right in front of me is a named mob we are fighting. This is one problem in that tracking sometimes glitches out.

As for how the filters are supposed to work I'm not sure. However, at the moment I consider tracking worthless because, as in the other screen shot I posted, even newly spawned mobs (Xicotl) don't show up on track when they are 10 feet away. It doesn't matter if you try to sort by consider or what, that mob will never show up on your list in my experience.

I have a very hard time believing that track in classic EQ didn't allow you to track mobs that were standing directly in front of you based on their spawn times or consider or whatever else. Note that in this screen shot I was camping Lasna, saw Xicotl spawn, nothing on track even sorting by consider, so I went back around the corner so I wouldn't get aggro and took that screen shot.

Track should just work. If it only shows 20 targets thats fine, if theres no sorting thats fine, but it needs to show the closest 20 targets somehow. I played Ranger and Druid many times in live during classic and never experienced this kind of frustration. Sure, its only anecdotal.. but my original point about track just being completely broken sometimes as in my screen shot should probably be looked at.

I think that if filters don't exist then the list needs to be filtered on distance automatically, not whatever its filtering on now which seems to be nothing.
