I thought players were supposed to play what they wanted to play...

Just ignore the hate. It's part of being a ranger. You don't want to group with those people anyways, they are dumbasses. At least they self-identify. When you do get in groups/duos, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY. Moronic monks and stupid rogues are given a pass, but any mistake you make as a ranger will be taken as proof. Save a few clerics and enchanters. Park mobs. Harmony pull. Show what you can do. Know how aggro works. Peel with flame lick/snare/spam heals. etc. Most of all - don't whine, just do your best. You can expect to be shunned by some, so get used to it.

Look at it this way - any fool can play most classes to 60. When I see a 60 Ranger, I am seriously impressed. When I see a 60 knight, I am impressed. Most other classes - yawn. Rogue - lol.

This is one thing I find fascinating.

People will still pay the flat 2k when they are with 2 SKs, 2 Bards, Wizard and themself...

No self respecting Ranger would do that cheesy shiz anyways.

My average group for Seb tends to go Cleric/(Sk,War,Pal)/Rogue/Shaman/Enchanter/Monk.

I've grouped with a few rangers, all whom were our pullers, but those were few and far between. Wasn't anything exceptional besides tracking and harmony, which was nice. When you have a camp you can easily rotate through, it throws them out of the picture, as I'd take something with more DPS.

I'd never throw out one class for another but I personally wouldn't take a ranger over anything else that was available when forming. I'm not saying they are a terrible class but when it comes to killing speed, rangers are not a go-to choice.

don't just assume that a hybrid will take up more exp either - "Race/Class combos with no penalty but who are 6 levels higher than you nerf your xp more than the hybrid who is the same level as you in most cases" - group with hybrids that are lower than you, or people with the same total exp in general, and it's not even a problem

This is a point that isn't brought up nearly enough.

I think this thread illustrates perfectly the myriad of personality disorders that make grouping in a social online fantasy roleplaying game, a little difficult. bravo pras etc.
