Hunters recently have seen to be smooth which is a good thing but.... as a dps class we are becoming outclassed by almost anyother class that is a secondary dps class and actually tries. I respect all the hard work that turbine devs have put into the hunter class but i am getting annoyed by being rejected from groups just because im a hunter. I am know that there are many people who feel the way i do or close to it. An example of the lack of love is devs saying that we will get changes if we become inferior as a main dps class and it is months later and we have little to no changes in any update while other classes keep getting improvments. The problem also is that we are only a dps class and since we are getting beat in that area the other classes have even more ability than us giving then more suvivability, in PvP if i see any creep above rank 4 i try to avoid combat because i know that unless i ambush them i will pretty much always lose.
In short i would like to see some change that would bring us to be at least better then all to most of the secondary dps classes.
Please listen to what we as a class have to say.

Respect what hard work? No hard work went into mitigating the impact of the change in game mechanics and unlike Wardens nothing is being done about it. Any work on Split Shot and Hunter's Art was a waste of everyone's time.
On the other hand, they are so consistently not doing anything about hunters that it seems almost impossible for them not to be working on some improvements (that are, however, taking rather long). One can hope, anyway.
Still, what seems to me important is that even if these fixes are coming with 6.1 or 6.2 or 7.0, it has taken them way too long to address these issues.
What about some kind of T&Go or sprint?
In combat DF again with shorter cd?
Or maybe a couple of dazes, 40m ranged snare, fear or root?
Lets give some ideas to devs so hunts can feel their love as minstrels and champions did.
We've filled page after page of thread following thread with ideas. The dev even had a thread soliciting them. We've done our bit. Repeatedly. And got nothing back.
There is no an Official Discussion sticky threat from Sapience asking for class improvement ideas we should all be contributing to.
I like one hunter's suggestion of a new dev, because sadly I think that is the real issue.

Guess you are talking about my suggestion.
Sadly enough, I am quite thrilled by the lack of attention we get currently. Why thrilled? Because thus we are not directly in danger of getting even more screwed by respective "dev".
The day we get a new developer, who will actually feel like being part of the hunter community and thus take up the hunter's cause will be my second most exciting day in LOTRO (the first having been the first day I stepped into the LOTRO intro after the reception of the pre-beta invitation email some years ago).
Old hunter proverb: "...there is always hope, even if it's just a fool's hope......"

I do agree that a new dev that would take up the Hunter's cause would be a great day..... if only a dev who is already here would notice our plight. I hope a blue name notices how we feel or at least stops ignoring hunters.
