    When I'm on my Ranger/Fighter and I see those LFM's and it's excluding Rangers and it's a group I want to join, I'll just send the guy a tell and tell him I know what I'm doing, that I'm twf, decent AC etc.

    9 times out of 10 I'll be invited. the 1 in 10 time I don't get the invite is because while I'm busy writing a tell someone else fills the last spot and I get the "srry, full" tell back.

    If you do your part to teach folks the learning curve can be accelerated. I'm afraid I don't have a clue how long this learning curve will endure. I'm kinda guessing it'll take longer then before, heck I'm hoping so.

    Think about it, we no longer had any misconceptions in the game because we'd been playing forever, and so had everyone else. There was little new blood to NOT know the intricacies of the game. Most bow users had learned when to use the bow and knew when it outright was the worst possible weapon to use.

    So now there's new blood. Believe it or not they don't have our range of experience. You know playing for 2-3 months is far less time to accumulate knowledge and experience then playing, oh I don't know, 2-3 years . If someone who's been playing for a couple of weeks has grouped up with some really bad Rangers (heck it could be anything, many new Clerics absolutely hate Barbarians because they've run with some early bad ones who are no AC no defense mana sponges - and at low levels their dps isn't high enough over other melee classes to seem to justify that in a cleric's eyes) that's the impression he'll carry over in his LFMs.

    So I for one I hope we continue to have a learning curve, because if everyone is on the same level of experience, that means there's no new people eetering the game, and possibly old people leaving the game, because the game will be dying.

    So really, don't sweat it. If you're on your Ranger and you want in; ask. And ask in-game. You'll find it's easier to teach them in the game then on the forums. Most of these "problems" indicate that the game is alive and well. Sure, the new generation doesn't know the joy we had of walking uphill both ways in the snow, but I'm counting on their tax revenue to give me a comfortable retirement . So that makes them okay in my book.

    when we started running it i saw lyrin had an lfm up for it too with a quote i might borrow - "be reasonably self-sufficient, cuz i'm drunk"

    c'mon khyber, its been 2 years since the "we have to have a healer" thinking went the way of the dodo
    There has been a lot of "omg must have healer" lately. I was in a group about to run the inspired quarter, on my bard. The leader made them sit around for about 15 minutes while we "looked for a healer". First off, it's the inspired quarter, a.k.a. "level 10 quests that we call level 18". Second, I'M ON MY BARD.

    Bah.

    Good thing FW can cure stupid. 'Bless those wizard/sorcs...
    FW might counter it, but nothing cures stupid.

    It is very sad that DDO peeps can't come up with a way to balance Archery yet make it an alternate form of DPS that is viable like other online games have.

    I mean look at Casters,it isn't like they have unlimited mana..wait they have mana pots.
    Hmm ok tey have crappy AC and are a squishy..wait they have 50% miss rate.
    OK forget that thought

    Back to Rangers,yes I am seeing this more and more but I think part of the problem is that there are so many of them and a majority are bad it makes the rest of us look bad.

    You would have gotten away with it, but we all know I don't often use my in-game mic.

    My snoring is always typed out

    Well running Gwylans on my TR'ed Monk yesterday we had a group of a wiz/rog multi, 2 rangers, a sorc and a paladin along with my monk. They paladin complain where's the cleric to which everyone else in the group agreed we'd be fine. Well we get to the back caves and wouldn't you know it *ding* paladin died followed quickly there after by recall *ding* paladin has left party. We all laughed and completed the quest without him. I really think it depends on the party makeup and the quest to if I want a cleric along. Of course most of the time I don't have to worry about clerics cause I have guildies who love running clerics.

    Oh and this party also had the kiting ranger syndrome which I laughed it off and said you two want to kite things have fun I'll just stand and wait for you to bring it to me. Then I'll punch it to death.

    P.S. WB Disavowed. I look forward to groups with you again.
