Howdy y’all,
I am now moving to the discussion phase of this initiative that actually started way back in beta. The topic with the most votes in this area of the game was, and still is, Rangers Need Lovin’ (Note: The topic tally was aggregated across all Community Forums per supported languages). The Coordinators for this thread will be myself and maybe Jon??? if he has time or the desire.
First, I would to lay down some rules as we move forward regarding how we collabo with one another:
1: This initiative is all about the Ranger needing lovin’.
2: We will be disclosing information pertaining to why so little progress has been made for the Ranger profession specifically and what is currently in development.
3: Anger and emotion leads to Ranger hate. Ranger hate leads to player suffering. Player suffering leads to less gem sales… and we don’t want that to happen so, we will finally have an impactful and intelligent discussion about how the Ranger is going to be fixed!
4: Together we will empathize with the pain Rangers have endured, and share what meaningful things we are going to do to move the Ranger forward ASAP. This discussion will be the catalyst needed to change our current “slower than all get out” profession design philosophies to a new “git-r-done” philosophy!
5: Aggression and disrespect to me, any other outstanding community member or developer will be met with great justice! Extreme cases of being mean will lead to infractions, but no force in the universe will ever shut down this new Ranger initiative!
6: The teams primary focus now will be on gathering information from this thread and implementing things right away. Please do understand that the Ranger initiative is taken very seriously by us all and that we will be reading the discussions and joining in as often as it is possible between 12 hour coding sessions.
We will never close this thread because it will be the go-to place for ongoing discussions about what worked and what did not in regard to Ranger development.
Until we get it right, thank for your patience and support. We are looking forward to the day that all Rangers can log in proudly!

P.S: We will keep our eyes on this discussion like a hawk (pun intended).
