Actually, say theres a lvl 90 warrior, hes probably 70 attack and str? Now imagine a lvl 90 ranger, aka a tank, with the same def and perhaps 90ish ranged? The warrior would get slaughtered. A real ranger has ranged based combat >.< A maxed ranger is only lvl 101 and challanges a lvl 126 in power anyday.... so, yeah and f2p is probably the most balanced combat system, melee>ranged>mage unlike p2p where all 3 classes are near equal
