Why does it need 70 cata engineering? It’s annoying enough to level engineering just to make it, but we need a much higher engineering level just to USE it? This has gone on long enough, please revert this awful change.

This sir was very random, thanks!
Eh, costs like 30k gold, sucks but still worth it IMO. I probably wouldn’t play without it.

Just loot stuff yourself, much easier.

Dont bother.
I screamed about this from the time the asinine change was made. Ion and crew ruined the rang for no valid reason and are entirely oblivious to the fact that it did NOTHING to stop a single bot from doing anything but only ticked off paying customers who like using the thing.
Costs me THOUSANDS of gold per alt extra over this crap change to use a toy I should be able to use without the insane cost now.

hunter can shoot stuff it cant physically get to in order to loot it.
Thats what the rang does best…that and finding what you cant find yourself that needs looted so you dont get ‘in combat’ for half an hour.

Not really trying to defend it, but its a permanent quality of life improvement, spending a small amount of gold shouldn’t be a big issue in the long run.

I have 70 alts over multiple accounts and will be working on dozens more.
Get back to me when I dont have to spend tens of thousands of gold PER character now I didnt have to before over this pointless change

Not going to lie, that’s definitely a you problem.
But with that many characters, surely you should be making tons of gold per week as well?

LMAO…being allowed to have alts…friend…is a game ‘problem’
A pointless change to the rang is THE actual problem here.
Now talk at someone else…thanks for your cooperation
and here we go…
not tonite guy…ignored
Bro, having 70 alts is definitely a problem.
Wow, I think you might be the saddest most sensitive person I’ve ever met.

Hunters also have a pet skill to go “fetch” aka have the pets pick loot up for you instead for 50 gold. Why spend 30k or more when you can spend 50 gold?

Can’t let people have fun I suppose.

for my hunter pets, sure. but most of my alts arent hunters and cant use fetch.
That said…THIS thread is a complaint about the Loot-a-rang and the pointless, ineffective changes to it that costs far more gold to use now than it should.
I appreciate the suggestions, I do…but the Rang itself and those pointless changes are what should be reverted.
Being able to CRAFT it at Cata Eng 40 and not USE it to 70, was just more insult to insult after changing it from being usable at Cata Eng 1 as it was before the pointless changes …that anyone playing the game can attest to hasnt done anything to stop bots but only annoy paying customers for no valid reason.

Loot-A-Rang allows bots to abuse bot farming all day everyday at an insane speed on hunters, nope. Bad idea. The nerfs were needed.

I didn’t agree before but after encountering this person with multiple accounts and 70 alts with dozens more planned, I now agree.

It felt like they were doing it to maybe get at botters, but clearly it hasnt done anything to that effect.
I just saw mobs of bots farming Mists content a few days ago. Rang or no Rang, theyre still going to farm day and night.
So the effect of screwing over the rang ends up being that it just irks players like me who have dozens of alts and plan on making dozens more who will have to pay the flipping gold PER character to level Cata Eng to 70 instead of 40…and who used to not have to level it past Eng 1 to use the rang after it was in our toolbox.
when ion makes bad decisions that only negatively affect the player base, itd be nice if he could just admit his mistakes and revert them…but he still seems bent on doubling down instead…thus the reason Id say the Rang is still pointlessly costing those of us with many alts more than we should have to pay to use it when we roll up a new alt.
