Yes, no joke! I think it's just the way you play this class (what's the case for any class that you play). Of course, when you always stand back and spam your dmg tools ranger class can be so lazy... and to be honest that's the way most people play their rangers and I agree that can be effective, but that's not the way I like to play this class. I like to move a bit on ranger, like to use my cc and esp. traps for my teammates and sometimes I die for it because I will go into close range. And when you play against good players who know you are deadly on ranger you even need to move much more.
