Who said anything about setting dc's vs the pc's skill? no one so far as I can tell.
It is merely saying that there is, 'snow balls chance in a firery inferno and so should be hard'. Whether or not this is a case of that is all dependent of the circumstances.
Really this thread is reminding me of the people who wanted to hide in bright light in an empty round 6' tall room wearing black clothes standing next to the white walls. Even if you roll a natural 20, have 23 ranks in hide, and have a dexterity of 50 you are nothiding.
I have already said that there is a chance, but it should not be as easy as dc 20, nor should making that dc allow the tracker to track a character through a mile of indoor corridors.
::shrugs:: superbuff the pc's or nerf them as you see fit. I'll take the base core stuff, and then add circumstance modifers as the dmg says to.
