Hmm, it seems to me that since the job update is severely unbalanced? 80% of the server seems to be thief. Whats the point of even having the option to choose if everyone is going the same thing. Job wars are impossible now because theres 1 hunter per 5 thieves. There is no trade runs going on because every time anyone goes out they die, since they have no hunters. Why bother even jobbing anymore? I'm one of like 20 hunters in babel? Thats all we've got...and tbh, I'm probably the second most active one...(50% to lvl 4), anyways, yea job system sucks. Nothing but thieves, its boring. Besides traders make 2mil easily... while thieves take 8 hours to make 800k from a bit of loot. >_> Is it only like this on babel or is it every server?

Lol Id Join ya if you like ill be 21 xD

thats why im not picking

ill prob end up going hunter

On Hercules there are like 4 hunters per 1 theif.....It works out great. I love the system atm. ^^

LOL Eldorado Has NO TRADERS !!! Omg even the onld traders I used to protect are gone ..... Cant say there seem to many thieves Either, but a lvl 80 will spend like an hour and wipe up and disapear withour seeing a hunter !

This is the same boat im in. Nearly my whole union is thief but it was never something i did. I was a lvl 4 trader and lvl 2 hunter. I will probably end up being a trader for the hell of it.

Anyone know if i would still be able to participate in job wars as a trader as opposed to a hunter? I should still be able to attack thieves, no? Just wouldnt get exp...

theres plenty of hunters on babel. yesterday me and a few others got into a small war at one of the euro ferries. shingo and bloodyboss were there. idk anyone else's name.
but while there are hunters...theres still more thieves.

There are NO traders on Greece. Me and some friends waited about 3 hours last night at the trade posts in each town, and not a single trader came to buy goods.

I like the job update since now there's plenty of benefits for hunters to hunt and there's a new ranking system. But IMO I don't think the job update is unbalanced it's the people's choice in jobs that has caused an unbalance between the numbers of hunters/traders/thieves.

heh... yea theres kuwait, the only hunter guild in the server >_> the rest of their whole union is thieves, and fusion union >_>

@manowar, exactly. the job update itself is amazing, but as u said, ppl's choice sux.

Whats the point of having so many thieves if your not even going to get goods, or kill anyone, or do anything for that matter.

@EllisD, yes traders can still attack thieves. And yes they get exp for killing them, player thieves & npc ones.

lol, Persia is more hunter/trader full, most of the thiefs are high lvl chinese, every like fricken European is ether trader or hunter, and even with the update most ppl still one star even if thers like 3 hunters with them, 1star is fine for lvl25 below but a lvl26 over is just pathetic (hire some dam hunters you fricken morons). I'm already got bandit status , also I've notice that thiefs also get payed now lol once a week. What can you do to increase that income?

in venice, every1 is leveling and sp farming too, jobs are not really active now,

Hehe.. It is pretty balanced in hercules. there are 40% thieves, and 30% traders and hunters. So ts'all good. Me and my friend both did a 1 star trade today to samarkand-constantinople with one Hunter, and both 2 star back to samarkand with 1 hunter, and met 1 player thief on the way. So it is pretty even in Hercules.

Leveling in euro and farming in takla. Nothing fun lately..because of the update

Trading needs to be more enticing to motivate more people to trade, better pay offs would be good, without people wanting to do trades, the whole system fails.
It fails.

No thieves in Hercules, only ones you see are at gates hiding from the hunters outside.
