51 ranger here. Never had any issues being excluded from a group that would have taken anything short of an epic'd rogue.
Please don't listen to the min-maxers. You may hit some difficulty in finding a group for seb, but other than that you'll be absolutely fine.
At 51 with modest gear, I tank and pull KC with no issues whatsoever. Ranger damage is actually quite good once you grab a woodsman's staff (definitely obtainable by your mid 30s).
And for the record, the "HUGE EXP PENALTY" just treats your experience take as that of someone 2 levels higher, idiots often interpret it as everyone in the group only gets half exp. Rangers sucking is just an archaic joke at this point.
Btw, learn to use camo/harmony/bind sight + know mob pathing and you will be a GOD in mistmoore.
