The most I would care to get would be the now-extinct medical forage. A few oats here, some metal there. That is all that would be logical regarding this topic.

Rangers are combatants, not artisans. Harvesting resources can only come from KILLING animals. Rangers have no right, nor no need to have the skills you outline. We're not a crafter support class. We're a combat class. Our skills should revolve around being more efficient at that aspect than surveying for minerals. There needs to be seperation between classes. Why pick up artisan if you can also have surveying in Ranger? I simply don't understand the leap in logic here. Rangers hunt and kill things outdoors...artisans dig up minerals. One involves combat, one avoids it. The two really have nothing in common.

I spend a lot of time in groups cammoing people, keeping the local wild life in check, and pulling aggro mobs.

We are hunters plain and simple. Whether that be npc's or critters. If all our skills worked, we would have nobody talking about adding this or that...we would all be too busy having fun!!!!

Although I understand this idea (rangers as they are now are mostly organic harvesters), I think this is not the way the majority of the ranger community would like to see ranger go in the future.
In beta they had a "Miner" profession which did much like this idea suggests. It was scrapped and the skills were put into Artisen, and I feel that was a good move.
As others have stated to make a change like this after 2 years of working the way it does now would cause a revolt not unlike the XP changes did.
I for one would like to see ranger get more skills that make it more of a blend of "enhanced" scout and combatant.
