This is a noble premise, but one that doesn't work out so well when all the would-be rangers who start playing them to "have fun" can't find any groups in their 20s because of the ranger stigma and EXP penalty, and can't solo for shit (or solo so slowly that it's almost worse than not being able to solo at all, like a man who is starving but is only given one raisin every three hours). I'm not saying it's impossible to get groups as a ranger, of course, and I've definitely invited rangers before, but a lot of people will refuse to on principle, so it makes the class a whole lot less fun. I've especially heard horror stories about this happening towards the end game, when EXP is super-slow already.
