All ranger need is their defense cap in line with other hybrids and they'd be a great class. They could group tank very well. Rangers problems 100% stem from skill caps. If they were brought into line the class would be loved by all. No clue why Sony/EQ ever did them how they did. I wouldn't oppose them being given proper knight hybrid stats to see them be a viable class option sicne we will never pass velious, I believe it is a patch that would have come in the timeline had we stayed in same era.... I also to that effect wouldn't mind seeing the additional playable race/class combos extend into some of the luclin era combos to keep things fresh as well, as it has no negative effect on gameplay mechanics form classic and would also have been incorporated regardless of expansions.
I think you can easily look at future patches and expansions and see the classic mechanic progression of things and evolution as intended, regardless of expansion content.
