Ranger Archive

I'm a seven month old wookiee, and I've been grinding for the past 3 and a half months. I had finally decided to give up the grind, and thought about the profession I'd like the most. I finally decided that I'd RP and go ranger. I spent 2 weeks or so grinding to the top, and then realized the problem. Basically, ranger is the problem. To be honest (and blunt) ranger as it currently exists is not that great. To phrase it as I read on this board once before, "Ranger is Skill Point Robbery". To put it most simply, ranger has just tracking and better harvesting (tossing out camps and camouflage because of their lack of uses). The figure I heard was that the harvesting is 30% greater than a scout; that's not really worth 63 skill points, is it? Tracking is ok, but with vehicles and such, I think the area range should be DOUBLED to retain its value. Of course, that will never be done. Neither will most of the requests in "The Outdoorsman". Just look at the schedule that has been made regarding updates and changes; I did read it quickly, so maybe I missed something, but I didn't see a single thing regarding an improvement in ranger, or even scout.
When I took up ranger, I honestly meant to keep it. I had meant to just have fun tracking, trapping, and gathering. I then realized the problems that plague the ranger profession. I know someone with a bit more determination would have kept it, as most of you do. To you people who will stick with ranger, no matter what, I salute you.
If the existence of this profession is ever acknowledged by the devs, I'll be back in 2 weeks, hehe.

I picked ranger because of the RP value. It was the profession I chose to drop in pursuit of the holo crap. Why? I knew I would come back to it. I also know how to level it too. Now that I got sick of the holo-crap, I'm back. I figure the shiny light camps and cool FX of the ranger traps are enough to continue RP. I also love the flur-clee onions (mhhh, +500 mind with a full stomach).

Anyway, I salute your eloquence and hope to see you back on this board in the future. Now, time for me to return to the game to track for the intellect and altruism badge spawns. Muhuhuhuhahahaha

Oh, there is one thing you can say about ranger: noone screams NERF!!!!

I am also a Ranger for the RP value over the skill point value.
