Yeah Rangers sort of suck till later expansions. But..They are one of the few Melee classes that really can solo well.
Tracking in Zones as large as Velious zones are is a Damned big plus. Bow Crits are uber stuff. There DPS is as good as a Warrior is without disks. Plus they have about every trick spell in the book at their disposal.
Outdoor pulling, they are top dog with Harmony. Yeah they are not going toe to toe with Dark Blues start to finish fight wise. But they can Bow them down to 60, 50% and then Melee them to 18% and Snare them and not get hit till the mob dies.

You have to be cunning to play them, smart to figure out how to approach mobs, and that is the appeal of them. Not just go in and beat on it like a Warrior till you or the mob dies. That gets old quick.

Are they the best class on P1999, well not sure. But they sure as heck are not the worst by far. Sure as hell a lot more fun to play than a Rogue beating on the ass of a mob all day. Or a Warrior, SK, Pally getting hit time and time again till the next mob. That gets pretty mind numbing.

I think Velious brings out the best of them on P1999. They Will be need for Quests, Loot, Raids and just as a plain old member in a group.
