When will RuneScape ever make a GOOD update for Rangers??

i think there's enough bows,maybe they could make new arrows like dragon or granite.

2 speicals with shirt bow was a good update..just cus they took it away after a while doesnt mean it wasnt a good update

You can't complain about not haveing enough arrows, you have brutal arrows also don't you? Personnaly I HATE rangeing, so boreing and I don't really care weather or not rangers get a good update...

I got quite a few ranged levels in the ogre area, and thats quite good considering I dont like training ranged.

My opinion is not biased though, even though I dont not like ranged, I can see that 1) Rangers want more updates because they think (THINK) that other players are getting more than them, and 2) that they think (THINK) that they are weaker than others.

The point is; Rangers are good at things, as are mages, and they are better at these these because the other classes arent. Rangers can attack from extremely long distances, yes, longer than mages can fire fireballs etc, rangers have light, cheap armor, with a massive defence against such spells as snare, and it decreases the damage that some attack spells do as well. Admittedly, rangers will get owned by ice magic, but then again, everyone does. What about warriors? Our armor costs a ton, lv40 armor costs 250k, lv60 costs over 20 million, and lv70 armors cost between 3 and 12 million. With prices like that they are bound to have an advantage. Same with weapons, what do ranger weapons cost? 5k for a magic shortbow? hmm... slight difference between an abyssal whip and that dont ya think?

Yes, I do think that rangers need something every now and then, btu every time I go on the official forums to rant about customer support ignoring me, yet again, I see masses of threads DEMANDING that rangers get something new.

You can demand, but it wont happen. It will just **** Jagex off. Jagex owns this game. Not you. Not Me. Jagex.


- Oh, and just to clarify. I am completely against Dragon Ranger weapons. Dragon is a melee metal. Dragonhide is a ranger armor. Runes are a Magic Weapon.

"ur armor costs a ton, lv40 armor costs 250k, lv60 costs over 20 million, and lv70 armors cost between 3 and 12 million. With prices like that they are bound to have an advantage."
Well give us, better, and more expensive/hard-to-get armor then.. I don't see the problem, not all our armor has to be craftable. Or the KBD could drop extremely rare king-hides which requires 99 crafting to use, that'd make them expensive, aight? Or the kalphite could drop already made pieces of idk, some better armor.

Same with weapons, what do ranger weapons cost? 5k for a magic shortbow? hmm... slight difference between an abyssal whip and that dont ya think?

Sure, and we use tons of money on arrows. A whip is an excellent weapon, and so is the crystal bow. Whip costs what now? 3m? Lets assume they do. That gives us ~28 hours of fighting as a ranger, then the money is gone. As a melee warrior, you can fight for 20 years and still have the same whip. I'd love to get an expensive bow that doesn't require arrows (one that shoots lets say magical arrows, so you don't have to buy arrows all the time) and pay 20m for it.

Having range isn't that useful when exping. We do less dmg, but can fight things from a distance. Fairly equal in my opinion. You do more dmg, and while you're back getting food, we catch up. Or you can use bones to peaches spell.

We do have an advantage against mages, we have that because our defence against warriors is not as good.

Would you appreciate a melee update giving you 10 kinds of new bronze weapons and 5 new steel ones, and 1 new mith weapon? It's not like you're gonna use them anyway. "Brutal arrows are far more effective than regular arrows against Zogres." Lets assume hill giants had a weakness against these new weapons, would you see lvl 100 melee people killing lots of hill giants for xp? Probably a bad example as zogres does drop nice bones, but nothing else that's useful. And they're far away from a bank.

You have to recharge the crystal bow, yes? It lasts 1,5h I think. I'm talking about one where I can buy it and shoot for a year without ever doing anything with it again. Just like a sword. Magical arrows, with no recharge needed.
