On the Flurry boards... there is a post from someone who went to Celebration3. Apprently, he got real psyched about what was in store for the future.
Here is the link
However... he did mention Rangers... and I've pasted what he said below:

Once a dev posts it, I will believe it..that's just me 
. It is certainly something to give us hope, though, I just won't be surprised if things don't happen that way.

They love to be vague.
"After Smuggler Revamp."
Anyone know when that is? It looks like a big fat loophole to me. I didn't want to be pessimistic about this, because they actually said the word "Ranger" which means they remember there are still people who use it.

Not to be negative, but..
This is why I stopped believing what devs post, outside of publish/patch notes.
Until it shows up in a publish note, under Profession: Ranger, it's just more "we want to make "insert content/profession here" more fun and engaging talk..

actually it was me who stood up and asked in my less-than-exciting RL persona what was going on with rangers - my plan was to lay out the usual complaints - skill point costs, etc..., but green marine cut me off and said I know exactly what you're going to say, which I took to be really good because it was evidence to me that the devs are concerned with our prof. and have been listening.
Basically green marine said that the smugglers are next in line for a revamp, followed by the bounty hunters, and then the rangers. He said rangers are a bit challenging because there are glaring examples in the SW canon, but he sees the role of the ranger as ultimate survivalist, that is the character that can basically hold his own on the high-level dangerous adventure planets. Sounded pretty exciting to me.
So basically the message was to be patient -- the devs do want to fix ranger, but they have a lot on their plates and it's going to take them a while to get to it. Again, I was encouraged because they were aware of the state of our profession post-cu and green marine at least committed to fixing us, though he didn't give a specific timeline (which I can understand).
Other highlights: I said I'm one of the few remaining master rangers and everyone cheered, which was nice. And Ialso asked the devs whenlooping-macros were going to go away and they said that every dev on the dev team hated them and that means that when they have time, they are going to finally do away with looping macros (there were more cheers about this).
OK - my apologies for not posting this sooner -- I've been really busy with RL stuff and I basically passed out after the fan breakfast.
I'll probably start a new thread with this post in it, in case it gets lost at the bottom of this one

Thanks for representing, Iseult!
I also just read another post a few minutes ago that also mentioned the smuggler revamp, thenBH, then Ranger.
Good news on that.. I just hope they listen to our suggestions, rather than go with "their" idea of how rangers should be.

Cheers Iseult Nice work
Nice workOh and:
"which I took to be really good because it was evidence to me that the devs are concerned with our prof. and have been listening."
How can they ignore the corr sending pms and reports there way everyday and making references to the ranger revamp in nearly every post i make in the corr boards
