Anyone here remember the ranger sit in / protests back in late 1999 ? (I think it was then) The whole ranger community from The Rangers Glade logged into one server, and basically took over Kelethin. Our famous leader was a guy named Sunmoon (I believe) and we were calling the devs out. We later moved into Crush and crashed the whole zone, and one of the devs finally logged in to talk to us. (they gave us Jolt)
Basically, rangers today are excellent compared to the train wreck we were at launch. I left the live servers with my half elf ranger at lvl 63, mainly because it's damn near impossible to catch up unless your IN a raid guild willing to help you. But here on P99 I'm way ahead of where I was back at launch. (now on P99 lvl 12 in a few days)
I would say this: most of the folks that put down the ranger class either never learned how to play one, or never grouped with a good one. We are a weird breed for sure. I can honestly say that I very rarely die solo, and death in groups was due to dumb asses not paying attention, getting wiped by trains. You can't "dabble" in ranger,... you gotta go all in ! Stick with it and you'll have a blast.
