Pfft. Like those melons aren't already worth millions for being a way into Jedi-hood.

Okay, that was funky. Smartest thing I've said all day though.
What I SAID was....THEY REMOVED FORAGING WOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!11!1!11!ONE
I'd been trying to get that removed or fixed forever. The only sad thing is no more moonings.
As for the rest, I thinkit looks great. Definitely fulfills the old Antarian Ranger theory.
I just hope you guys can handle the inevitable backlash from the Smuggers when they see this.

After further review I'm gonna agree with some of the people when I say that the thief aspect of this feels a bit more at home in the smuggler profession, though in order to be an effective thief you have to be able to "sneak" (a la the new stealth abilities). So unless they are planning to give them some form of stealth abilities it does make more sense in our profession. We will just have to see how things pan out.

It's been said before, this is only just in developement. As is, some of us get exactly what we have been hopeing for while others pretty upset. I'm sure what actualy goes live will satisfy us to a happy medium.
That said, heres my reaction.
Like others,what is this going to mean for harvesting? Rangers are an extention of Scout, we should always be able to harvest more, it would be a shame to see the creature harvesting line stop at Master Scout.
Tracking is Rangering. Do not take this away. Tracking works,might work a little better is the spawn system worked better, but it works and many Rangers do like to track.We asked long ago to be taken off the radar. We were told it could not be done. Now apparently it can be done, and was instead given to jedis (and riflemen). Now jedis complain because we can track them. What's a Ranger going to do to a jedi?
What is all this concealment stuff? Need a kit for this planet, for urban, for wilderness, need another Ranger line to be able to move, crafting and experimentation.. Thats way to much work, a rifleman can hit a button and go off radar and still attack. I think some of that needs to be toned down a bit. But liking what this could do for PvP raids and such.
Steal. Steal? Steal!! STEAL!?!? Where did any of us say that? Did I miss it? This one needs to be niped in the bud.
The traps v. humanoids is what a lot of us have been wanting. I'm not much on PvP, but if I can throw a trap (or lay one) at (or for) another player,well that changes things. It's sounding like a lot of crafting to make these traps,but we'll see what comes down.
For the most part this revamp sounds like the devs have been listening to us, just not quite going where many of us had hoped. All many of us want is for other people to ask me to drop a HTFB, give us our CDEF turret.

Zandreff, it seems like they are trying to get away from looking at Ranger as an extension of Scout, and more like a separate profession. And there is still some form of tracking in the game, though I'm not sure how it will pan out exactly. As you said, we will have to wait and see what happens.

I'm mulling over this 'stealing' thing.
Sure the ability to pinch stuff off NPC's and, under some circumstances, off players is interesting. I can't help feel that it's a smuggler skill that wandered into our design doc by mistake tho.
Maybe it's sort of an extension of our ability to sneak into lairs, steal the critters eggs, drain the mammies of milk and then skiheesh over the hills and far away.
OTOH, it could be that smugglers are about to get something 'big' and it was felt that the skill needed to be put somewhere elese so as not to make them too self contained.
Dang, I need to SEE how all this is meant to work.
