...for those of you who may not know me. I am Rico. I am a thief by profession. I have spoken to a few of the developers in the past (Sunsword specifically) about my profession and how poorly we have been treated over the years. This is not a Spiel, nor a Rant, so please feel free to continue reading.
I have returned to Sosaria from a land far far away, with hopes to recapture my crown (as the King of Thieves). I have already noticed in my brief time back, that love of thieves seems to have almost entirely vanished long ago. I would like to challenge the development team to try and rekindle some of the grand fun, we thieves used to be able to have. The number one item on my list is the stealing skill. The changes over the years have pretty much turned our profession (for those who remain on the production shards) into one of either Crate (a thief that steals things, not from other players, but from crates and off the ground) or a Thief of Power Scrolls. Neither of which is nearly what it seems the profession was designed to be. We are thieves, we steal things, we steal things from players. I would love to take a tour of one of the production shard with one of you, and while hidden, show you what a thief has to look forward to every night we take to the job. It's sad really. *chokes back tears*
The advent of insurance has pretty much left us to snoop around for cursed items, regs, pots and band aids. Hell, for that matter, LRC suits have pretty much eliminated the reg part of our thieving. I know that insurance is here to stay, but would it be possible to give us a few more proverbial bones?
As an example. The current event, with black rock. Guess what? We've been left out. We can't even steal the black rock. Why?
One suggestion I would like to make, and hope you might consider. To add some fun to our playing time as thieves. Would you look at the possibility of reinstating "grey status" for thieves? This may seem like something we wouldn't want, but to be honest, the fun we had in the game was based on the chase. Now that there are minimal reasons for players to chase after thieves...they really don't bother. If we were given back grey status, at least we might be able to have the famed "noto" return.
Feel free to visit us in the thief forum. I will try and spark some additional comments, but if you have noticed the lack of activity there, you might want to consider that it's because our profession has suffered tremendously over the years.
Let the discussion begin...la
