Rangers - misunderstood or actually bad?

[Pipip]

If you're a good player, people will start inviting you to groups, regardless of class.

If you're a bad player, you'll reinforce in people's minds that rangers are terrible.

Also, if you join a good leveling guild, you shouldn't have much trouble finding groups. Personally, I just like to go somewhere, mention in guild chat that I'd be happy to have some company, and someone is usually willing to team up. Once you have two, you just tell everyone that you're LFM, and soon you've got a full group.

I was in a group with three rangers, and the group did fine. Yes, there were actually three people logged in as rangers in the same level range at the same time.
