Really? wow. I thought they were at least comparable to other DPS classes, with gear being the deciding factor in most cases. Seem to have decent survivability to me, but I havent gotten far :P
But will a well played Ranger always be in last in dps? Is the gap that big?

Bolded is key.. Yes there's a dps gap, and yes, there's no feign/evade button for rangers. You'll do less damage, you won't be able to lose aggro, you won't get SOW to 39, and you'll never be able to port people.
You will be able to track rares, Snare, Taunt, and do some ghetto crowd control and cast weak thorns.
If you are on the fence, nothing in the above 2 paragraphs is worth a 40% xp penalty. If you enjoy grinding 40% harder, play a Pally SK or Bard and get something special for your efforts.
But for the love of god, don't come on these boards and prod and prod begging for people to say tons of nice things about rangers in classic. It's simply not going to happen. Rangers are fun, they are challenging, and can track down Bilge in Dag's Cauldron and snare/pull him toward a class who can actually kill him.
