Thread: I can't believe I'm going to do this...
Sorry youve decided to come down from master. Any other time id try to talk you out of it but............ im strugglingto think of something.Hope things change so you can master again quickly.
wow....
Thats so funny... I decided to do master ranger last weekend and then when i got through scout and started looking I decided to only take the trapping(traps are useful to me as a swordsman; need the states) and tracking (of course) lines...
29 sp for pretty camps and a weak group maskscent just wasnt making sense to me...
wonder how many "2-tree" rangers there are out there
Out of the decimated ranger population id have to say:
- 20% - 0,0,4,4 - Trapping Hunters
- 30% - 4,0,4,0 -Hunting Hikers
- 40% - 0,0,4,0 - Hunters/Dabblers
- 2% - 4,0,0,0 - The Hikers (the not so smart sp wasters j/k)
- 3 % - MASTERS - The Few. The Forgotton. RANGERS FOREVER!
- 5 % - Grinding/Other - The holo'ers or 'to-be-masters

I think the time has come to drop Master Ranger & the Trapping & Tracking Lines, While I won't be a master Ranger anymore I'm not dropping it all together as I can still use the harvesting, and I like the uber Camps (Not to mention I don't want to grind Camping XP again). I guess I'll have to be content with TKM, Some Ranger, and Artisan Skills so I can run my resource harvesting Business. I hope someday I'll have a reason to try and master this profession again. Good luck to you all, I'll miss you.

My guesses were exactly that guesses. No facts, just the impression i get from my server.
I would expect the ranges to vary considerably from person to person based on their playstyle and from server to server
I think he means he's dropping the wayfairing, not tracking (as he references the increased harvests) 
And how come I'm not on the chart:
0-4-4-0 - I'm the "hunter, wanna-be-master-if-they-ever-make-it-useful-and-don't-want-to-do-frontiering-over-again-so-I'm-keeping-it-plus-I-just-like-to-annoy-people-by-dropping-useless-humongous-camps-on-their-front-lawn" ranger. 
The funny thing is that I've met several 0-4-4-0 rangers. I went hunting with another one last night in fact
From my experience:
master ranger = uncommon
0-0-4-0 = most common
4-0-0-0= never met one
0-4-0-0 = never met one
0-0-0-4 = never met one
x-x-4-x = next most common (some random combination of tracking plus a few other skill points carelessly wasted while in the process of determining how useless those other branches of the tree are. A temporary state, usually remedied by dropping ranger altogether a week later).
