Default why do Rangers get a bad rep?

I have a 51 Ranger collecting dust b/c no one wants to group with him. Post your rants and flames against Ranger's here, I want to hear them. I am going on record stating that I will group with Rangers when ever and where ever. I think Ranger's rock.

I had a 67 Ranger back in the day that I used to play regular EQ. He would hit around 10k damage with his bow every 3 hits or so. I honestly think that Rangers have the best DPS in the game. I also hit about 200-300 with every hit with my sword, and by level 67 you would hit 3 times with each swing, plus it was dual wield.
Having said that, my Ranger was not as good without the AA's, but still great. Rangers, do get a bad rep, but in EQ classic they are pretty out classed.

Too many monks. Most groups don't need all the tricks that a ranger can perform, which puts rangers in the DPS and pulling categories. 51+ you're in a dungeon where a monk is a better puller & better DPSer.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

Ranger's have forgotten how to pull from the few that I have seen. Its very difficult to pull and root, pull and root over and over until your 5-6 deep.

Oh right.. this is RnF. need to add more fuel to the fire.

Rangers suck, period. They suck up 40% more xp then they deserve and provide you with fuck-all compared to a monk, rogue, or hell, even a warrior in str gear.

Most rangers are terrible and complain they cant find groups and are not willing to make their own.

Your hands upon upon a dead man's bow and you're looking down the sights. Your heart is warm and seems atoned and they've given you a reason to fight - and you're not gonna take what they've got to give and you're not gonna let 'em take your will to live 'cause they've taken enough and you've given them all you can give and luck won't save them tonight. They've given you a reason to fight.

~Rangers to the end~

Rangers are awesome. This community is too much like fucking world of warcraft. Back in the day you picked someone up for a group regardless of class as long as they knew what they were doing. Now the end game is dominated by min/maxing nerds making a big deal out of nothing.
