Seriously, do they class us as:
-Combat
-crafting
or
-support
Have they ever said which it is?

The Devs don't have a "view" of us...nor do they know what to do with us...
Maybe one day...in like 2050, they'll get a clue...

I think doormat about coveres it, its somthing that looks nice on the outside, but once you get into the house, you realise that the people who built it forgot some fundemental parts that are required in a house, such as a roof, or foundations, or even walls, in general anything that would define it as a house.

squad leaders
creature handlers
...
...... well...
oh !
forgot rangers !
somewhere in a locker that got blown up by the tornado...
anyway, devs do not see us...

We are the carcass left over from all that has been picked over. We are the short piece of the Wish Bone. WHY OH WHY must we be Sunday's trash. LOL sorry just threw out the rest of the turkey today couldn't resist.
BUT the analogy is true.

Okay I know a lot of people like to say that commandos, squad leaders, rangers, etc are in the same boat. The fact is, they've all had their heyday. They got nerfed by circumstance. I remember sitting in bestine overt, having a rebel commando burst run in and grenade my sorry butt into oblivion. Then buffs and armor and whatever. Squad leaders? well, when people couldn't solo everything in the game, they came in handy. Rangers? Again, having ranger had it's time. They all are just waiting on fixes to things that were broken after the fact.
Our profession hasn't been complete since the game was coded(like chef). We have been nerfed by circumstance (spices, dirty fighting). We have been nerfed by programming (slicing). We have had exploits go unrepaired (slicing, feign death). We have not been able to do the one thing our profession says we should be able to do(smuggle). We have had our inability to smuggle OPENLY mocked by the devs (privateer, with it's lower case smuggling).
A lot of professions have some problems, some of them even have major problems. But no profession can come close to the sh*tstorm smuggler has been standing in for over a year.
Almost forgot. We are considered the truest Hybrid profession, in that we have combat, service, crafting, and "player content" skills.
