Stop the Socking

[Ele]

What is the staffs' definition of socking?

Having one person track?
Having two people track?
Having a pre-buffed/camped raid force outside the zone?
Having a pre-buffed/camped raid force inside the zone?
Mage tracking ducking CotH?
Having the raid or initial engage group logged in?

Socking is a symptom of people not having anything constructive to do with their main characters. People could level a 5th or 6th alternate at this point, but what do they end up doing with that character? Buffing it and parking it in a zone while a boss is in window. Creating yet more socking and instant engages.

Worst idea yet.

That is a variance of a week. No one wants that. People hated 96 hour variance, 168 hours would be even more retarded.

Not to mention that 96 hour variance (with extended windows) did not dissuade all people from socking spawns.
