I have a Level 15 Ranger right now. It's a class I enjoy, I like having access to Dual Wield, Double Attack and Kick all in one without the weight or armor limitations of being a Monk. I like having Archery as an option. And I like having the utility of a few small spells without them being my staple.

But I see Rangers (and Paladins) get so much disdain in EC OOC and in popular leveling areas. 80% of the time when I see one asking for a group, myself included, I see some wiseass saying something along the lines of "lol ranger sucks" or "you'll never get a group with that trash class."

What the hell? Why all the hate for hybrids? I thought MMOs were about having fun. Yeah some classes might be a bit better than others, but so what. Having fun means playing what you want to play, not being forced to settle for a class you DON'T want to play because it's statistically better than one you do want...

...I just don't get it.
hey op

rangers on red are always taken in groups because not only do you provide excellent dps, you are utility as fuck. You can track players for pvp, snare / root / spot heal / sow / kite / pull / etc. You can even tank up to around 40s, and (slightly) beyond w/ a chanter, shaman, or bard in your group to slow.

also Red has massive XP bonuses, making hybrid discrimination not exist. Cleanse yourself of the bloated Blue server, where hybrid and non-epic having melee hate is a reality. You think it is bad at 15, try getting to your 50s and sitting on a KC XP group waiting list for 6 hours, getting bumped whenever an epic rogue zones in.
