Sorry, those aren't all valid choices. Specifically, your #3 is invalid. There is no "adapt and overcome". This implies if a ranger simply tries harder or "learns his class" that he can once again rise to tier-1 dps. Sorry, ain't gonna happen. Can't happen. The class maxes out at tier-2 given current game mechanics/equipment and other class' skills and AAs compared to those of rangers. So let me redo your list:

3) Grit your teeth and bear it.... simply resign yourself to being tier-2 dps with no offesetting utility
4) Post calm, objective, supported messages on this board describing the issues involved in hopes that the devs might relook ranger dps shortcomings.
