Back in the day? As a ranger who only played into his 30's, the only negative thing I ever came across were the "Ranger Down..." jokes, and people trying to convince me I was a tank since I had taunt.
If anything we were considered aggro hogs due to the "Ranger Down..." jokes. I constantly found that I would peal aggro, even not being uberly geared. Of course this was back in 2001ish, where Twinks were few and far between.
I hate the XP penalty. I agree with those who say that knowing about the XP penalty breaks classicness. If anything, if they wanted to mimic classic they would randomize the XP penalty across all classes, and then tell people they removed it. It wouldn't mimic classic in that the XP penalties are different, but it would mimic everything else about XP penalties.
Or you know...juts remove them.

Most of that, as a Cleric, is when you were grouped with a player who played a Ranger poorly and had the mobs ping ponging back and forth between the tank and the Ranger. This is what we referred to as a "mana sponge". And yes, those Rangers died a lot. Usually because my attention was keeping the tank and CC alive, and the idiot Ranger who kept grabbing agro and getting beaten on was quite frankly not high enough on my list of players who I really needed to keep alive. On the other hand, a properly played Ranger is awesome to behold, but I still tease them good naturedly. It's a Cleric thing. What can I say?
