Grouping...

[Kindarian]

Hey just like to say I am glad to see the pop higher and back in playable numbers. What I don't love is being skipped over for a spot in a group when I see 4 who say they are ok but then after 10-15mins of waiting my turn they allow another person in and skip right over you...said person who just enters the zone and ask for a group.

Sounds like you might be playing a ranger.

Just go anon and tell them you're a warrior. Crit with your bow every once in a while so they don't get suspicious.

oh I am but in a server like this skipping over someone because they are a ranger at mid lvls just seems like a dumb reason .. only to watch their excuse that they already have a hybrid leave and they are now down to 3 ppl.. and still nothing guess I can't wait for EQC.. what goes around comes around

Sometimes you get groups tho, right? Stick with it; rangers can be awesome at higher levels. (I've heard)

Ranger isn't that bad.
You have a nice cheap snare which is great for fear kiting which is preferred by many over having a tank and a dedicated healer.
A lot of groups probably don't consider it though.

This happens to a lot of hybrids. My troll SK was quite the undesirable from about 40 onwards due to the hybrid/racial combo (68% penalty). Min/maxers just refuse to allow you into a group.

I had a good reputation for tanking as well, and some great connections from my days in Unrest/MM.

You've picked probably the hardest hybrid to get grouped. Monks/rogues are better dps, bards make better pullers generally, shamans/druids are usually the backup healers so have sow covered. In most areas you've got someone else doing part of what a ranger can do.

But as mentioned, sheer willpower will get you to 60. If you get friendly with a cleric you have the makings of starting your own group... screw all those naysayers, be the puller, pull more than the group that forsook you, keep the tank thorned, everyone sow'd and the dps flowing. A good ranger shouldn't be shunned...

Rangers just totally suck on here and I have one. Just give it up now and start another class. As a Healer I just hate them. They are a mana sinkhole. People don't want them in groups. End of story.
