A good ranger is better than a bad rogue.
Playing a rogue from classic through Velious I don't remember a single time I saved a group from demise. I can remember a ton of hybrids who perfected their game and did though. That's why I maxed out the rogue and never went back after making my SK.
Really you're filling a dps role. It's a simple job. Anyone who sees that as the backbone of an awesome group needs to get their head examined. Every other class makes constant decisions to avoid letting the group wipe...you mash like 3 buttons and wait for the next mob.
That said, if rangers as a whole suck like many of them did back on live I can see the problem.
Autoattack, kick, dot, nuke, aggro, "HEAL MEE!!!"....die.
Edit: I'm recalling the main problem being the hybrid exp penalty. It's something we never knew about on live yet still found a way to level to 60 and beyond. Go figure I remember being grouped with MULTIPLE hybrids and the exp flowed amazingly. Maybe because those groups weren't shit to begin with...
