Hmm rangers thinking they got nerfed because of the vehicle/camp calling situation. Hate to break it to all of you, but you were nerfed in this respect from day 1. Novice scout was all that was previously needed to call vehicles out in the wild.... no ranger required.
And quite frankly, what a waste of energy to waste words complaining about this change. I mean cmon doesnt this just go to show just how worthless this profession is. Wouldn't it be more prudent to waste your energies trying to get other things improved instead of trying to get this 1 stupid little annoyance back.

Troll elsewhere please. We don't the requirement back at all. In fact 90% say how nice it is to have the requirement removed. Our point is, camps have very little use and that was one more use they took away.

End of camping, we are still the ultimate frontiersman, nobody harvests better than a master ranger.
Well that depends. Are we talking one kill or over time?
A commando with a Flame Thrower can take down Fambaas 10 times as fast as I can on Naboo. So his 10 kills at 23 units per kill (assuming novice scout only) vs my one kill at 73 units does illustrate a diparity.
I want to make one thing clear. I am a ranger for the long haul. I just want to see some benefits come back to the ranger class instead of us constantly being slighted. I am not trying to sound like a whiner but I get the feeling I am coming off as one.
Commandos can harvest more resources over time than a Master Ranger can (assuming no elite combat prof). Just a fact right now. My guild tested my theory today.
Over 1 hour of hunting bolle bols in the same area while ungrouped the commando won by over 150%.
If we are the Hunt Masters, then we should be able to harvest more than any other class. It just isnt true right now.
The only way the Ranger, Scout or Scout dabbler will ever become useless is if they remove meat/hide/bone requirements form crafters.
In fact with the fixing of BE, and chef along with the Doctor, Medic, CM, armorsmith needs alone makes Rangers/Scouts even more important.
There is lots of resource required and someone has to harvest it and get paid.
There are better uses for camps and their resource then just to pull a vehicle or droid.
The major need for Rangers is resource gathering and that has not changed at all and has actually increased over the last few publishes.

I agree.

Yes, but why should we only have one skill? If resource collecting is the only thing Rangers do well, why not eliminate Rangers and leave the collection to the Scouts?

But to facilitate harvesting, we need to be able to stay in the wilderness longer. To do this, we need useful skills. To have useful skills, we need make our thoughts known. This thread is a way to get our thoughts out there.
