Please make manyshot a stance

This would actually make it fall within the status quo of the game though. Higher arcanes and clerics etc get higher/more spells because they trained more in that skillset. So higher trained RANGErs should get better ranging. I think one of the best things they could do for the subset of us who want to play (whether for fun or roleplay reasons) a ranged character is to lower the cooldown timer or raise the duration. (As an avid, my wife says rabid, archer/bowhunter in RL I want an archer in game.) Please lower the timer or raise the duration my 15 ranger 1 rogue and I would love you for it.

I don't agree - unless you take an archery focus in PnP a ranger could be far inferior to a fighter or rogue with the feats.

d20 SRD again:

Combat Style (Ex)
At 2nd level, a ranger must select one of two combat styles to pursue: archery or two-weapon combat. This choice affects the character’s class features but does not restrict his selection of feats or special abilities in any way.

If the ranger selects archery, he is treated as having the Rapid Shot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.

If the ranger selects two-weapon combat, he is treated as having the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.

The benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor.

Compare that to the maze of granted feats (past "Ranger Love") DDO Rangers get.

The intent of feat lines (and Prestige Classes too) was never to lock people in to a class for a given focus (other than spell-casting levels, of course). Range-spec'ed rogues and fighters should get equal time if they've bought the feats.
