I think it was probably in reference to the yet again enhanced Krayt population. There are certainly MANY other things that a Ranger can do that aren't tracking a Krayt. So I wouldn't worry too much. Take a week off, go camping on Endor and explore the planet a little. Make friends with an ewok (then kill him anyway). Find out just what IS at -3448, 2898 (I don't know what it is, other than a WP I just made up.) Basically - play Ranger.

Yeah thats all Rangers are good for is tracking Krayts. We do nothing else in this game. ITS THE END OF RANGER AS WE KNOW IT!!!!
Well its the end of a lot of people who have dabbled into tracking 2 or 3 to track them at least

i do play ranger quite seriously i realy enjoy hunting and the bonus with being in a krayt hunting group is i don't go getting buffed i let them do most of the work,then i get the hides after and a good spawn can leave you with 6k of bristley hide to sell. then theres the fun of trapping juvinile krayts throw a flash bomb at them and see the replies in the chat bar for the noobs thats never hunted with a ranger
. hunting krayts is a little bit more fun than tracking the dam farmer all the time as people always think you will find him in 2 mins flat
, being transdon i live to hunt.

Dang muppets... Yup, they were probably talking about the fact that, with the new increased spawn rates of krayt they are (on TC's at least) almost as numerous as gorgs up by the graveyard and in a couple of other locations. (Same old ones for thos in the know, for those not in the know GO ASK A RANGER!).
There are also a lot more in the way of wild spawns but we've still to see how that holds up under a full server load, running 24/7 for aweek or so or "in Live".
So, there's plenty out there to shoot and kill and loot and steal. whoop de doo.
End of Ranger? I think not.
In planet chat I watched a brilliant conversation which went like:
A: Well, I took Master Ranger and then a bit of TK and a bit of Rifles and a bit of Swords and got me some sliced obberdijooby guns and a flippityfop hammer. Some d00d was selling sliced compo for just 1 mil per section so I got a suit of that.
B: cool, you're the dood, etc etc etc. (you cn fill in here for the usual)
A: anyhow I tried finding a peko albatross and couldn't. wheres theres spawn ground.
B: dunno what planet they on?
C: I think endor
Me: Try Naboo, just NW of Theed, work along the coast and then down the edge of the map.
A: Near theed? Thats BS they never go in cities...
All that and
X: "Where's the £$&^("ing pirot? I've looked all over Tatoonie and still cant find him"
Y: Get a ranger who knows how to used tracking.
X: How does it work?
Y: Dunno. It says I've not got the skills to use the droids...
Aw bless, you've got to admire these folk... even being able to find their butts in the morning to get dressed must be a challenge. It's, well, kind of sweet.
And one day, all jedi will be made this way
/gulp

I am a bit mystified by this post as I am wondering how you think Publish 13 = end of Rangers?
I ask because I am wondering what single thing it si in the Publish that you think will cause you to be uneeded. I mean if I read this right, its something to do with Krayt Dragons being around more. Is that all you do is track Krayt Dragons? Correct me if I am wrong but that seems limited in scope.
Again I am mystified as I still see plenty of things to do as a Master Ranger, chasing giant lizards only being a small part of it.

As the guy who runs past the clown spamming for "Need Ranger to track..." I pretty much figure this is not the end of anything, except maybe the boring times spent near a retarded city on my server looking for krayts.
Retarded city - we squat near the POI to grief Jedis... huh huh huh, smart huh?? Add the entire town's IQs, translate to Celsius and it is still a cold day out.
I quit tracking for pay, unless my pre-reqs of pay up front and once the time is up it is my option, not theirs to renew.
Oh, you paid for a Kraytor a half hour, whichever comes first. No, I am not gonna sit there watching you kill it. Call me when you drop it, I will be over there dropping bantha. No, I am not healing you, I do not like to get eaten by Krayts, which is why I am not buffed or armored, I am not going near the damn thing.
The Hero quests are alive and well. I ignore those too.
