Long winded post.

Ok, I'm going to give this one more shot.

Jack-of-all-trades != Overpowered. (see that?) You make it sound as though a jack-of-all-trades scheme will always demand an exp penalty or a negative penalty to compensate. But this is not true.

If this is what you are hearing from me, then let me make this clear one more time. See, back in 1999, Rangers, as well as Shadowknights, and Paladin, were considered a HYBRID CLASS. I was not the one who invented said term, or labeled us as a Hybrid. Verant did. Being as such, Verant gave us an EXP PENALTY. Should they have? No. Do I want an exp penalty on my class? No. Do I feel Rangers are or aren't Overpowered? It does not matter.

Again, read that last sentence one more time. It does not matter. Fact remains, that in 1999, we had an exp penalty. Thus, being that this server is emulating the past, WE HAVE AN EXP PENALTY. Is it necessary? I personally feel that it is not, but it does not matter.

Developers just need to make gameplay that's more satisfying and diverse and doesn't quickly grow stale.

This is again, where we just aren't seeing eye to eye here, and quite honestly, i'm not understanding what you are asking for. Are you wanting the developers to stray away from the past timeline of specifically how Rangers were back in 1999, and make changes that would make our class less stale? Do you not understand that this server is simply about DUPLICATING the past, making Rangers, and every other class exactly how they were in the year 1999, by simulating both the good parts, and the bad?

Imagine if you would, the shitstorm that would arise if Rangers were changed in whatever way you are advocating, yet every other class stayed exactly how they were from 1999. They aren't going to change things from the way they were to merely satisfy the playerbase, and I hope they never do. That would eliminate the ENTIRE POINT of this server. How are you not understanding this?
