Yes it true there completly cutting the tracking skill...

Personally this is a horrable idea and i say it makes me wanna add some choice words for SOE that would get me banned lol so i'm not gonna say them...

Can u imagine finding the mostiure farmer without tracking? Or the Gorax? Or all the other marks that randomly spawn over a huge area?

Also i went ranger cause i like the PVE of the game i'm angry were being pulled into the Jedi/MBH conflict...

Stealing? Hello! Wake UP! Everyone thinks if your going to do something so controversial lol do it to some other perfession sounds like the smugglers are up for it..

I only say this cause it'll end up having bugs and need dozens of hot fixes like everything else, that at one point something will go wrong and somebody will have something important stolen from there invintory cause of some bug or glitch and there will be a huge drawn out thing over it.

Do you realize the economy of every server will be dramiticly altered if there are major problems with the rangers? IE Foods Medical ect..

Plus your taking away our ability to wear that lovely bone armor

I've managed to find the moisture farmer three times on different characters, once with Tracking and twice by using the overhead map and tabbing through targets that appeared, using the mouse over and just jigging back and forth on my bike.

I'm disappointed to see Tracking go, but for whatever reason the devs have decided that it's not worth the time investment to find out why it didn't work, then find a fix that actually worked. Would rather have seen it fixed, but, well, would also rather that the time was spent fixing some other problems in the game.

As for the PvE side of the game, according to the discussion document and Helios' comments, most if not all the working parts of Ranger are going down into Scout. If they were brave enough they'd rename Master Scout as Ranger and give the new profession a more accurate tag, like Infiltrator or ninja-sneaking-stealth-burglar...

When the revamp goes onto the servers there will be no PvP stealing. It's something that the mechanics allow for but they are not implementing 'yet'. If it's like smugglers smuggling it could be another two years before we need to worry about that, heh.

And finally, our lovely bone armour... easy answer is to pick up a combat profession that allows you to continue wearing it. Good thing about that is it lets you dress for the occaision. Bit of critter molesting... bone armour. Some PvP or a big NPC bash.. battle armour. We're in a win-win here. Kinda.

I totally agree with this.....they should have added and enhanced instead of totally remaking the ranger. Tracking was the reason I kept my ranger for two yearrs.
