Solution for mitgating the zerg problem that lets the zerg be the zerg

There are a lot of players that dislike the prevalence of zerging on this shard. The pat-answer to the their complaints is 'then don't play this shard'. However, despite the success of this server, the fact remains that it is better off with more players than with fewer. That being said, the fact that there is so much zerging tells us that there are a lot of players who enjoy it. Keeping them happy also contributes to the number of players.

Currently, bounty hunters and factioners can track their opponents without the tracking skill. Perhaps hordes of reds (e.g. groups of three or more) ought to be trackable without a developed tracking skill. The players who are really bothered by it would be able to keep an eye out for the hordes, and recall before they're run over. However, most other players probably wouldn't bother with the inconvenience of using track so often, and so plenty of targets for the zerg would remain.

Give reds a free skill too!

Yeah groups of reds would need something as well.

Bounty hunters have the ability to track reds, but not vice versa. Instead they appear orange to reds. Maybe there'd be a period after using to track to find a horde that the player would appear orange to them.
