Traps are meant to protect yourself to get back to range; they always have been. The weak Melee swings are meant to be weak; you hit an enemy/pvp'er a few times, disengage away and use your real attacks. Most melee is meant to be done by the pet, not the Hunter. I've seen the melee huntards from back in the day, and they used to make me embarrassed to be part of the same class.
So, sorry if I don't want my class to become a bad-copy of a rogue; I like it the way it is, don't fix what isn't broken, and if you want something that murders people at close range, go for an actual melee class and cut down on the huntard population by one more annoying person.

Right, but if you actually read the thread instead of focusing on my post, you'd see most people who are 'for' the melee hunter spec want it more or less to be the same as rogues. Look, simple as this; Hunters in WoW are meant to be ranged with their pets; a Ranger in the Warcraft Lore, was both a long ranged fighter and a close up one, but that is different from a hunter. Bottom line; I'll stay ranged, you go melee, have fun, and enjoy your play style.
Edit: By the way, that's why I kept it to the one line answer, no point in arguing with other people who don't want to actually argue, just try to make you see things there way.

Hey, I agree, they should do something to create a Ranger type... just don't wreck my hunter heh, I like it the way it is now. I don't hate on it, I'm just saying, as it stands now, a Hunter in WoW, which is based off of both the Ranger/Marksman and Beastmaster core classes; the Rangers with the long ranged attacks and skilled arrow/gun abilities and the Beastmaster and it's pet's abilities, is meant to stay at the back of the pack and shoot at the boss while the pet does the melee.
Heh, you know, the best BM hunters I've seen have all been at full range and stayed out of melee. Focus is going to help the class a lot, I don't disagree on that at all.
It's not done well... but meh, I've never been a fan of the up close and personal thing heh; if I get caught like that in pvp, and I don't have a trap, I accept the death, then hunt the guy down and range him to death.

Aye it would. Would be kind of interesting though if they mixed in some of the
Beast Master
abilities into the mix, after all, they are one of the influences for the tree after all.

I'd sign that petition if it ever made it up to WoW suggestion forums.
Heh, indeed.

Well I guess Beast Master could be a Hero Class. We keep the Hunters the way they are, and we get a new Hero Class... Sounds good to me.

I know, but it seems too similar to be a hero class. Go for something like Witch Doctor or Shadow Hunter.

I want them to add in presitage classes to the current trees; make a hunter into a Beast Master for BM, the Marksman class for Marks, and the Elven Ranger for Survival tree.

The thing is that not all races fall into those classes.
DKs are racially universal because all the races died in the fight of the LK and his forces. So the next Hero Class has to be the same. There are many new classes, that would fit into most races, but not all.
Monks and Beast Masters would fit most races so that might pass.
