Unless:
1. The skill points for making Master Ranger are changed to reflect something like the Image Designer's template (i.e. we get some points back)
and
2. The health issue is resolved allowing Scout and Ranger boxes to count towards the 3k max health
I predict that there will be a mass exodus from the Ranger and Scout professions. Why freaking bother with them when you get no benefits other than harvesting and you pay out the nose for a profession that keeps you weak?
I also posted about this issue on the Corr forum, along with a challenge.
Mark my words gang, we are getting hosed. There are only so many posts Owen and I can do to try and get attention, even with other correspondents helping.
Wanna make a lot of money? - stockpile hides, bone and meat now.

And I agree, I dont want to leave Ranger. I am considering droppping FS skills so I can have a master profession for Ranger and Rifleman. Then just stockpiling the xp as it comes in.
I am really annoyed about this. WTH cant they see that we are a combat oriented profession. I am getting to the point where I have to see something substatial out of this or I will be moving onto another profession or a different game....

If you quit JB you will be letting down the scout community
there are very few correspondents (in my opinion) who arent door mats for the devs ( you are no door mat ).
If you leave the scout community will be buggered , sure theres people who could take your place but theres not many who are as vocal as you and what we need now is a strong voice.
You provide that voice .
So stick with the job and justtry to doyour best for us

I just thought of a cool idea. If, after the CU, we get left behind and the general consensus of the SWG communities is that we are STILL not a combat proff, then I will refuse to hunt or track for anyone. Let them collect their own resources and find their own trial creatures. I'll boycott the crap out of my job. I'll run around with my Master Ranger tag and tell anyone who asks me to track or gather for them, "No, I'm not a combat proff, I don't do that anymore."
There are other ways of making money. Like selling myself to the Singing Mountain Clan for a month or two to help replenish the population.
Who's with me?

Not a bad idea
. Stopping to hunt large amounts of meat/hide for money will free up lots of time to spend running around looking at all the great graphic that is to see.

i love that idea........but i'd rather protest just by dropping ranger. i like your idea a lot but
1. it requires to keep masterRanger and be gimped at 1000health
2. i wouldn't be able to have fun like the rest of the people out there.
3. i play on a laptop, and have to turn all the graphics down, so sightseeing is not in it for me

I really agree with this. I'd have said similar myself, but for some reason, whenever I make such negative comments I get flamed to hell, JB is much luckier for saying stuff like this than I am.
Anyway, it really does seem that what JB says is a very real possibility for our professions. I also think that it is symptomatic and that there will thus be similar things happening in other professions all as a direct result of the combat revamp being so badly thought out.

Hehe, I think I mentioned this myself in some other thread already too...
So I'm with you... In fact, in live I'm telling people when they ask me to do things for them, I might not be doing them after the CU as it stands as it currently is. Then a whole conversation takes place
9 of 10 agree and understand...
