They are by no means the opinion of the AC Vault or The Vault Network. If you have an opposing opinion of the rant, please send them in so they too can be posted. Free items for the thief and many disappointed players. Dereth is a fantasy world, one in which thievery does not have to take place, the same way player killing does not have to take place. In my opinion, and in most people's opinions for that matter, thievery is a part of a Fantasy world that does not need to exist.
Thieves are people who are too lazy to go and hunt creatures to earn good loot for themselves.
To all the thieves out there, here's a suggestion, go hunt monsters. Not only do you get good loot, you also level up, getting you access to higher monsters, getting you better loot, and the process continues. Also, we, the legitimate players, would like you to note that in real life, thievery is punished with jail time, perhaps turbine should make a rule where if you are proven guilty of stealing, your main character should be unable to earn experience from the next 200 monsters they kill that are your level or higher. This would only make sense in all the thieves' argument too, they say that thievery occurs in the real world, and therefore people should be ready for it. What the thieves really want is to be pricks and get away with it.
