I have yet to see you point out a FACT, unless you ahve a time machine in your greenhouse how can you tell what will happen in the future. You can speculate, but cant give facts.

please do tell.....
hehehe) I think it would be cool to be able to steal small amounts of cash from players you could normally attack. Not many people go on Spec. Ops without at least a decent amount of money to use on PvP foods and stuff... not sayin whether or not it fits into the prof. That's a different argument. Although it would suck to have ur cash stolen, but hey, not to be selfish, but I got my Holocron... camo... thing, and urban camo, so I'm not gettin my pockets tapped. Also, seems like the tailors and whatnot could make pants or backpacks or whatever else you wear that has pockets that had buttons, or some crazy Sci-Fi thing like a "Magna seal pocket of +25 stealing defense" or whatever. Wow, that sounds really stupid, and i'm the one who wrote that. Wow. I'm gonna go now.

Oh man dont say stealing in the smuggler forums or even here. They dont steal. They arent thieves. They provide a service of being able to move materials from point a to point b without the man finding out. They do not remove said materials from the buyer without their knowledge. They may be talked about of the item. But they arent pickpockets.
No that would be us
Only pickpockets because the game can only support that, what we will REALLY be is an elite clandestine recon unit who sneaks into a heavily guarded base then retrieves the superweapon plans that Alliance Intelligence need before making his escape leading pursuing enemies across a myriad of boobytraps. Thats just too cool for words.
Course if you want to be creature centric your even better at that now with better camo, more traps and more SPs to spend on combat abilities, your just not forced to be creature only anymore. There is nothing bad about this.

Oh right... stealth truckers?
I never got the impression this is what the Antarian Rangers were...
Still though sci-fi star wars game or not people still hunt and gather in modern societies and the Star Wars universe has always been a wonderful mix of sci fi and fantasy with melee weapons and creatures in right beside blasters and sabers. Even the Guards at Jabbas looked to be right out of D&D.
Don't get me wrong though I am happy that Rangers are getting attention and if its the kind of attention they want then Hooray!Maybe a slight profession title change? Secret Ranger Man?
SPACE, GCW, PvP, PvE, DWB runs 
Smugglers smuggle and talk their way out of bad situation man, not place down traps and stealth.
And steeling isnt really steeling, its searching and aquiring intel/items

rangers dont steal things. they tack stuff down and shoot it with a bow! not spy and steal stuff. holo field thing? this is starting to sound like what SMUGGLAR should be. im sorry but rangers arent the type of proffession that does this
uh. I'm sorry, but they ARE, according to the documents. Bow and arrows aren't a part of the STAR WARS universe. Perhaps you got lost looking for the Ranger from EQ2. This is not that Ranger. This is the Sci-Fi Ranger, the Ranger who is a paramilitary unit, akin to the the Antarian RANGERs, the Imperial Sector RANGERS, et al. Fact is that in the Star Wars universe, this is exactly what one would likely think of when they thought of "Ranger", just like anyone in America these days thinks of Rangers as a military unit.

yes, that may be true in D&D, BUT THIS IS NOT FRICKIN DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
in THIS universe rangers are like spies, in that universe, the ones with elves and fairies and unicorns, they are hunters...
