I've always wondered how cool it would be if the ranger had an ability to call one creature away from a pack, without aggroing it. You could select the creature you wanted to call, apply the gamecall command, and then based on your skill level and the level of the creature, the computer could roll to see if you succeeded in calling the creature away. I suppose it could roll again to see if the creature came to you calm or aggroed. What do you think?

Two words...awesome idea.
This is one of the best new ideas that I have seen in about 4 months. We have been pretty much rehashing the same set of ideas over and over, but I have not heard this one before. Hopefully we can get it to the devs...

On the way to work I was listening to the radio...some guy was doing game calls. Anyways, I thought sheesh - we're rangers, we should be able to do something like this. Hopefully it will get enough notice to actually reach the ears of someone important.

I like the idea, but I don't think you should be able to decide which exact creature you call. You can select a creature and do /gamecall but it will have a chance to call any creature of that type in the area.

This sound like the lure trap to me, unless I misread something. But still a good idea.

This is a great idea. It makes sense! I think it would be great if they would arrange it like real hunting calls.
Varment call: attracks predators by sounding like a novice musician...I mean a wounded animal , more of an area wide call (I can only say this because as a novice entertainer I am afraid I will call vicious animals =).
Mating call: call a specific critter in a given area.
Great Idea!

This should go in Wayfaring, or possibly Tracking. Five star idea!

Thanks for the compliments, hopefully this will attract NRaas's attentionand other players will chime in with their two cents on how to expand/improve this idea.
