IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Whaddya got against Rangers ?  And I don't mean the nice people, talking about the weapons.  Those that pursue the ranged profession, get gimped on the Durablity thing whereby for most stuff, HQ is twice BQ.  I'm guessing there was a reason why, not sure what it is.  I don't really use it so don't have a horse in the race so to speak.  Is this an issue for anyone ?  Would you want things evened up ?

Armor: Basic = 1.0 / Medium = 1.5 / High = 2.0

Amps:  Basic = 1.0 / Medium = 1.5 / High = 2.0

Jewels: 2H Weaps:  Basic = 2.0 / Medium = 4.0 / High = 5.0

1H Ranged Weaps:  1.0 / Medium = 1.0 / High = 1.0

2H Ranged Weaps:  1.0 / Medium = 1.0 / High = 1.0

2.  That boosted Launcher should not be being brought to a
