Personally I think people worship gear a little too much. So often I swear it seems like they believe you can't play the game without a fungi and about 300k worth of twink gear. The advice always seems to center around oh don't start what you want to play, just make a chanter/necro make 300k plat, buy all the best of everything you can buy so you'll never earn an upgrade again unless you raid, then play the class and burn through all the levels as fast an efficiently as possible and never pay attention to the world around you.

That's fine if people want to play that way but really I rarely twink a character. I typically start a new character with no help(even melees like warriors), make all my own money on that character and just play the game. I get groups, solo, seek out places I haven't been and drops I haven't camped and just take my time. What I'm saying is enjoy your Ranger, you'll be fine. If you're having fun with the class then play it. Understand the limitations, although that's mostly just that there's a few casters that have trouble getting groups, and otherwise have fun.
