Rangers in decline?

I know mages seem to be already gone. All you see now are high level mages (180+) In my world you see some mages near level 160.

Then you look at rangers and barely see ANY of them. In my world there is basically zero rangers in the 140-165 area. Anything lower is rare too. You seem you not see any rangers anymore anywhere. Now this is just my world so I could be wrong. In my world there are not any rangers that need urns, eggs, or idols in pituitary. I have looked for any rangers 120+ in my world and all I found is someone named Odi-.
Do you face this same problem? Why do you think this is? Of course in my world I see a fair amount of rangers. Maybe five active ones. I do not see any new generation rangers. (I am not complaining, I am quite happy, for its easy to get DL, but sad because I do want more rangers in my world)

So a few questions.

1. How many rangers are in your world?
2. Is ranger urns or eggs, idols needed in your world or are they sitting in your clan's bank
3. How many high-end rangers do you have?
4. How many active 130-160 rangers do you have?
5. What class do you have the most of?

I think the amount of joining and lvling players has decreased in general.

Very few rangers left in Morrigan also, most have quit. Same with druids.

I love rangers and it's my favorite class to play even to this day.

The only problem is with the class is that nothing stands out about us besides bolas. Im not saying theres anything wrong with that, but 3/5 op of our skills on dl armor effects our autos directly. This is the reason, and the fact our skills are broken, that most rangers need to go strength, endgame.

The problem that this causes is that we are forced to go strength and yet our autos are barely higher than other classes. We can even get out dps by warriors due to rupture, shatter, and double atk. Rangers just has double shot and possibly longshot. This leaves us at number 4 in terms of dps. With rogues being at the top followed by mages and warriors. Hell I'm sure a few druids can out dps us too (not many though).

It is only on endgame bosses that rangers have a chance to actually get the kill on bosses, imo. How can we have damage dealing armor, moves to make our autos "better" and still be out dps by classes that arent even meant to out damage the ranger?

It varies from world to world, on Sulis we have maybe 15ish semi-active rangers 170+, with a majority of warriors and rogues.

I definitely have noticed only a very small amount of new people getting past lvl 130 or so. Many people just don't see the point in grinding over and over on the same mobs, then to move on to new mobs, and grind there for another 5-10 lvls. So most new players just stay around lvl 70-100.

Here on Sulis, most new rangers are alts, have sold their accounts, or simply dropped them for a rogue.

My main is a ranger lvl 118, and am finding it very hard to lvl up, and forget all about pvp, only ones I can defeat are other rangers (and the extremely rare battle druids), even if I out lux most classes. Warriors armor and skills are OP, can't land hits on rogues, lure+attunes mages...
