Both in scs and RvR mdps are increasingly hard to find, while their place is taken up by dps tanks (especially on destro) and rdps (on order mostly). Everybody wants to kill (hence too not enough healer usually) without being killed, which leads to this situation.

I dont know if your intention was to address this lopsided rdps impunity state, but I like the change. The only downside that I can see is the colateral damage of this removal, namely that melee orientes SWs, who already had a hard time finding their spot with underdeveloped Assault tres, now lose one of their saving grace. As a melee SW, my only reliable moments of burst are the 7 seconds when I can reach M2 (if I can survive 7 seconds under rdps fire in the frontline, that is).

Is there any way that UF can somehow be limited to under 45 ft or even melee range? In this way Risk would be reward, and prdps would have an incentive to dive into the frontline thus raising skills ceiling and encouraging the use of neglected trees and abilities.

Seems that you main either the mdps or tank, as well as the you've not read through threads related to this change.
So this might be hard to swallow for you, but uf was changed because potential buffs might occur to those classes.

They will support realm with covering BO while they leveling themselves with killing NPC's.

Should probably at the very least increase XP rates for sub-30ish players by a few hundred percent. Sure I agree leveling should be a part of the game, but we already got renown ranks for that. Right now playing lowbie toons is really painful, and the time it takes to reach 40 is a bit off when you take into consideration the time you have to spend playing in a non-competitive state.
