You always have to be on the look out cause any minute somebody cause become an a**hole and try to kill you. And i wouldn't do any other job in the game cause thief PWN and look dam good doing it so yes i will take my anger out on the nearest lvl 20 1* i see same goes for any trade my lvl or a bit above. You can't expect us to be walked all over and then not kick back thats just stupid
P.S. I can;t wait for the job update so hunters will stay hunters and thiefs will stay thiefs. I get tired of getting killed by high lvl hunter who log off then back on and put on theif gear to take my stuff. Noble and righteous indeed.

In case you CANNOT see why people hate thieves, your "lewt" comes straight out of the pocket of a trader. You are taking what is NOT yours, you are directly stealing my money. Just like you hate the hunter for killing you for no reason, us traders lose not just our exp but quite a bit of money as well. Further, the very nature of thieving lends itself to trickery, lots of "just trust me, I promise I won't do...." which of course you know they will never keep their promises, which they then get angry at you for blowing them off. There is no pleasing a thief. Their whole mindset is "it's mine! I take what I want!", and I have NEVER met an honorable thief that would even ress a lowbie bystander they killed by parading their lvl 4x transport through the tigers in Jangan.
I was popped by a thief once, who did the whole attack my transport thing to get it close to dead, and as soon as it was gone one-shot killed me. I was fine with it. Take the goods, go, a bystander comes up and resses me after he left. I'm standing there trying to take off my flag, and the jerk comes back and kills me again. I had already given up my goods, I waited for him to leave, I was taking off my flag. Another time, I was popped, but I escaped at the life of my camel. Fine, I'm running back to DW, and getting attacked by earth ghosts so I can't get my flag off. Along comes a lvl 2x thief who just hits me for no reason, I had no transport or anything. Thieves do that crap too. In this case I whupped the lowbie but still, I've had the same thing happen with thieves higher than me also. I've experienced too many cases of thieves doing crappy things and not nearly enough doing any kind of "decency" at all. Meanwhile, I've seen a lvl 50 hunter walk up to a popping party of thieves near the docks (they don't even try to hide, they just sit there knowing the traders have to go through there), who were all lower level. And he didn't begin to attack any of them, he just waited there warning them to not touch the traders. Until a lvl 6x thief comes up behind him and one-shots him. Yeah, some honor there.
Thieves are rightfully hated in real life, and they are shunned in the game for the same reason. The life is not glorious, and surprisingly people don't like those that take their stuff. Imagine that.
And to the inevitable "it's just a game" comment, yeah, it's a game that I'm spending my time on grinding to earn gold, to run a trade run, only to have it stolen in two seconds by a thief that doesn't even belong in Jangan, they ought to be popping traders going to Hotan. Thus, when they do this they are directly causing me to feel the loss of the hours of my time I spent earning that money in the first place. Go take on traders your own level, and I'll happily deal with thieves at mine.
