A little extract form a interview to Colin J. :

Question about ranger utility skills that aren’t being used and how it hasn’t been addressed yet.
Colin: I actually have no idea right now what stuff that group is working on. I’d have to check in on them and see when I get back. But one of the big things that we’ve kicked up recently is basically and analytics team that records all the data in the game. It allows us to look at that and help make decisions about the things we’re doing. They’re actually the group that helped us find a lot of the loot issues recently. Because we really just didn’t have any information to get that stuff. We kicked this team up so that we could get all of that information. It’s incredibly useful to have all of that stuff so that we can figure things out. Without that you’re kind of flying blind. We’re able to look now at what weapons are getting used all the time and we use that date to determine what weapons really suck and go and try to fix those. And what kind of skills are getting used, which ones aren’t. It really helps us determine what needs a boost. So I imagine if no one is using a bunch of the ranger utility skills, they’re going to see that and look at those and go try to address those based on that data. So hopefully that’s on the list if no one is using those subset […].

What do y think?

Do NOT play ranger anymore! That has to be noted somewhere in their data! And when they finally see that 0 people play ranger, then we might get some attention.

Unfortunately, I have only my main ranger at level 80. But I’m working hard on my alt warrior and thief!

That’s kind of shocking they didn’t have that kind of data before. What were they basing their balance changes on? Observation?

Yea, I love the ranger class, I really do…

…but I’m putting some serious time into a mesmer alt now and may move that to my main once it’s 80.

As much as I enjoy playing a ranger, watching a CoF speed run with only warriors and mesmers is depressing.

yeah as i stated my ranger will do dailies thats it nothing else its not worth it

This again?

Skills / weapons that aren’t being used tells them “this skill needs to be improved”.

Professions that aren’t being used tells them “no one cares about this profession so why should we”.
