As much fun as I had doing Scout, I figured to go Ranger. I dabbled in SL (the trainer yelled at me like I was a private, screw that) and CH (here boy? Don't bite my sorry azz... nope not for me), but that was while I was working on Ranger.
I goofed around finding my weapon longer than I did Mastering Ranger.

I had no idea what I wanted to be when I started. I tried artisan, working my way up to cheffing. Didnt like the crafting, took too much thinking. I was hunting alot in groups leaving from Mos Eisley. As soon as you get the XP for a box when you're a noob you instantly go and train it, regardless of what it is, and before I knew it I was Master Scout. Made sense just to keep going.

i had my template set before playing: master commando, 4004 artisan, and some dabbling in architect (so i could build my house) and weaponsmith (so i could make my own weapons). I wanted to be self sufficient before the game came out (this was in april of '03 that I had planned this). When I got the game, I started as a marksman in the Naboo Military (RPing), and started working on the rifle tree of Marksman. I worked on scout and artisan at the same time too, building bone armor suits to sell for 1k each. Soon, my friends joined, I moved to Tat, and I began trying to get Weaponsmith. I soon got bored of getting 15k xp/hr for getting Carpel Tunnel (This was before third-party programs and macros were really used and right after mounts) so I decided, after reading all of the Ranger description boxes, I would become a Ranger (Rare items! The Master of the Wild! Able to survive out in the wild for weeks! That is why I got Ranger). I wanted to get pistoleer, but decided that short range (melee) was much better. I was a TKM/Ranger for a time, then hologround, the picked up Rifles. I have been a Ranger/Rifle for 3 months now, and my alt is going Ranger/Rifle currently.

Wow good question.
Have to say as I went the scout tree to Squad leader for a guild i was with. I came to realize that Ranger may be kinda fun. Came to the forums here liked the Non Whine sense of community there was here. But the Kick in the pants was the HTFB i saw IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!!!!!

I started playing SWG in July of this year. I wanted to be a Master Commando before I even finished loading the game. I went on to MC with TKM. Later Idropped MCdue to the fact that I killed most things too quickly, i.e. lost the fun of the hunt, and picked up Doc so I wouldn't have to go get buffed while out hunting.
I decided to get another character (crs'tee)in October and started her off as Chef/Tailor. After mastering I discovered I hated crafting. I decided to pick up Ranger just for tracking to help my alt with the Hero of Tatooine quest. After starting I fell in love with the profession.She isgoing Pistoleer/Ranger.
As a side note I made Master Ranger about an hour ago.
crsduv - Master Commando/Teras Kasi Master- Wanderhome
crs'tee - Master Ranger/Pistoleer (1231)

I don't know if this has been asked before...
But it's been on my mind recently.
Who knew they were going to be a Ranger from the get go?
Elaborate if you like. For those of you who fell into it or found it later... what took so long? 
For me... I knew ever since I first started looking into SWG. I read about it and just knew that from day one I would eventually end up there. And here I am... enjoying my time working up the Ranger tree. Getting Master Ranger will be a day of celebration.

Umm..... I think I knew before I installed the game...after reading the instuction manual... that i wanted ranger... the combat part took a little tinkering. besides check out the forum sn i got.... hehe.
Now I'm doing (prepares for an attack from JB) my fs and eventually Jedi stuff.... but i'm sure my alt will be another ranger....

Think i have to agree with most people, Ranger was always my aim in getting to the ranger spot, though i would of liked to get master rifleman at the same time, but discovering at a late stage that rifles aren't very good for going into dungeons, decided to go swordsman until i've done them all then switch back to rifleman

Always played a Ranger in Pen and Paper D&D, so it was a natural for me.
Was a Master Pistoleer for quite some time, but dropped it for Rifleman...
I do miss Dodge though.
I actually toy with the idea of dropping Ranger for Master Pikeman, or dropping everything but Tracking, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
Question for all you TKA/TKM out there...
Do you need the entire meditate line to heal wounds or does it just take longer w/o the entire line?

You need the entire tree to heal wounds.... but at master you heal more wounds. Example... you'll heal about 5-7 wounds at a time per attribute at the 4th meditation box... but at master it's more along the lines of 15-20 wounds at a time per attribute(not exact numbers just an example.) it's nice to have.... though i must admit I miss rifleman a little bit. TKM is sweet though.
hope that helps
