Getting rid of tracking spell components in PnP games was one of the best decisions my current and previous DMs made. "You can't cast that spell because you have run out of mouse droppings...". Dreadful system.
What next? "Your fighter is doing less damage because he didn't sharpen his sword."
They got rid of tracking arrows. Let's not go back to those days.
Please don't make such uninformed statements. Component tracking was never removed by the system and people ignoring its importance is another reason that contributes to the "spellcasters are OP" memery up there with making spells freely and readily available, removing spell scribe failure chance, ignoring Verbal and Somatic component restrictions etc. These are not conducive to a videogame experience because you are single player most of the time so you cannot banter or get into interesting hijinks while doing busywork like this during downtime that is very beneficial to the PnP experience. Arrow tracking is not even in the same ballpark.
