You have been in the bush too long, and you are missing 75% of the content and challenge. Survivability if you are in an area that you can kite. Most other classes have as much or more survivablity particularly in tighter zones. I have been playing since Jan 2005 and I rolled a Ranger because I like to solo but also because they were T1 DPS. What you are talking about is the fun factor. No one is saying that that part is not there and you are right in that soloing a ranger is engaging. But it is such a small part of what the game is designed for and is about. Soloing exclusively is such a waste of content. Everyone pays for the fun factor, if his is the solo end - then that IS what he is paying for.There is content for everyone.
You can dis our opinions with confidence only because you are casual and not explored the greater part of MMO. You really don't have any idea what you are talking about. After reading some of your previous posts, I dont think you should be calling someone out about what they know....imo.
You are wasting you money, do you typically buy a ticket to get you 25% to your destination? What you should do is buy a different game RP or FPS and continue to tiptoe through the tulips. I know people of all class's that only Tradeskill, I know people of all class's that just solo, I know people of all class's that only do instances and quests. Its great to be passionite about your playstyle - dont disrespect someone else because you dont like it.”

Your right Venez, I should be chastised, I forgot the Ranger was created strictly for soloing as per Kyklopes view. Of course we should view AA's strictly in that context. And yes your right I should not assume Kyklopes is missing any content soloing exclusively. And certainly has a valid view on AA's as so many Ranger's desire to pay full price to concentrate on playing a Ranger solo. A new concept that none of us have ever done. Why shouldn't we all agree with Kyklopes post?
Honestly, I admit the last sentence "What you should do is buy a different game RP or FPS and continue to tiptoe through the tulips." was out of line, my apologies to Kyklopes.
