I know some of my fellow old timer thieves will not like this idea, but I need to put it forth. I'd like to end the split of the thief forums.
You can argue all day about what is "thieving" and what isn't. But, dangit, those crates over there in Trammeville still have the stealing skill. Whats more, the new Exodus thing has even made it that some Trammie thieves are running around with the snooping skill! We aren't getting any new blood in the PvP thief world. The ones I've managed to recruit over the last few years have all been converted Doom thieves. Players haven't started out as PvPers in 13 years. All new blood comes from Trammel.
I want us to put aside the petty squabbling. We have 1.5 decades of wisdom to offer these Trammie youngins. In return, they can offer us life. The only new thieves will come from the ranks of the crates. Let's join together. Offer them training advice where possible. In the meantime, we can try to lure them over to the fun and challenge of PvP thieving and breathe a little life into our profession.
I don't know about you all, but the most joy I've got from thieving in the last few years has been taking a Trammie and introducing him to the fun and excitement of Fel. You should hear their reaction when they make that first theft and get away. It's awesome.
Thoughts?
