As a lv. 80 Ranger and almost finished with my story line, I would also like to make some observations.
I havent had a problem as ranger at all so far. That is, because I picked a ranger.
Its rather the easiest class for kiting and dpsing down groups of mobs and veteran/champions. Bear x2 or later on I prefer spiders. They hold aggro and take some hits. Now I just kite the mob(s) and lay traps. Eventually stuff dies. Ty ranged spider dps!
Now, I tried missions up to lv 15 on pretty much any other class so far. And I was shocked how much more difficult they are with some of the classes. This has to be adressed. I am talking starting level quests. There is supposed to be a learning curve. I can see how people give up in frustration because they havent picked a class that has 2x tank pets. And are just learning the game.
Also not everyone is a mmo veteran like I am or some of the others posting here.
Bottom line:
The quests are not balanced well for every class to manage them. ESPECIALLY at low level quests.
Also I am happy how closely Anet monitors the forum and gives responces. Its a freshly released game and still in need of tweaking! Please keep that in mind.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful game!
