I am deeply disappointed that you have gone live with the harvesting changes as they are. I can only assume that you do, indeed, ignore the Ranger forums completely and in particular the most lively, wide ranging and populous discussion there has been on any topic since I have joined this game. When you announced this change in testing, the community went mad and the discussion is still going on.

You have put a system in place that means that a Master Ranger is now out-harvested by someone with xx4x Ranger skills (providing a Master Ranger is in the group). How can that possibly be right? As far as I am concerned that is a bug and so I am reporting it here in this thread.

My Ranger colleagues tested the changes out extensively on TC. We came up with solid hard data that proved the case and the idiocy of the numbers. We went about it the right way. Our Correspondent went about it the right way - feeding back to you with all the info you needed. Yet still you chose to ignore it.
It's a simple change to make - we simply want Master Rangers to get more harvesting oomph for themselves, either grouped or solo. Otherwise, what possible motivation have we got for improving everyone else's harvests when we do not see a benefit to our own harvest?

We are the ones who live and die by what we can harvest. This is our profession. We were prepared to wait for our revamp, we are being patient while the GCW and CURB happen but now you've just added insult to injury.

The rest of the changes look good and you are to be congratulated for them. We recognise that the rest of the harvesting, non-Ranger community, will be very pleased with these changes and we're glad for them. However, you are penalising those of us who have mastered our profession and we are not even vaguely happy about it.

All I can say to the population of FarStar who might want a Master Ranger to join their hunt and improve their harvesting is this. Do not, under any circumstances, ask me for help because you won't get any. I have joined my last group until this issue is addressed.

Good job, Cango.

Somewhat "emphatic" but got the point across.
