If the developers started listening to you and implementing your suggestions, they surely will sux.
This reminds of a Shadowbane group I was in. We were happily group hunting when some noticed a thief. Group hunting was halted, and the search for the thief started. Trash talking started too. The fun ended for the group too.
Added: I think stealing skill is a fun skill for thieves, so they can destroy the fun for others. If you meant stealing from NPC, then ignore what I wrote.
I played a game once where rogues could pickpocket. Success was based on skill and other players had a skill they could advance which would make it more difficult. Seems fair to me especially since the rogues who pickpocketed were automatically open to PvP and could be looted if they lost.
Actually the clone would be another game that doesn't allow rogues to pickpocket other players.
It seems developers aren't brave enough to allow it because of the expected whiners.
As long as there are game mechanics to counter being pickpocketed including PvP, what's the problem?

Just because you cant steal doesnt mean the whole game is going to suck. That is indeed narrow minded.
But if that one detail ruins the whole game for you, there are other games on the market that have stealing. Supposedly darkfall and Age Of Conan will have stealing.
As a side note-- thieves in shadowbane can steal a percentage of the money you carry or items you have. The balance factor is that all charachters can recall back to there city and bank there inventory in no time. Scouts can see stealthed thieves and if you think stealing as a rogue is still cool/easy, in SB if you steal from someone even SUCCESFULLY it will unstealth you and put a message up that you stole from them.
Its alot easier to just kill someone and loot there grave and get everything they had.

Developers, please do not follow this advice. Developers, please try to make spells, skills, etc. affect NPCs and PCs in exactly the same way. Developers, thank you for listening.
No, the reason Gods and Heroes is going to SUCK is because they let you use more than one character at a time. what a utterly retarded idea. If I want to group with 5 or 6 other characters, I'll ask actual people to join my group...

That's retarded. If you are going to promote multiboxing you should at least collect another monthly fee.

ure basing ure opinion of a whole game sucking because rogues cant steal ??
Little bit narrow minded dont u think ?
Rogue that can not steal or pickpocket
Major suck
They should really change name of the class to assasin or brigand or something like that

So basically what your saying is that because they are not cloning other mmo's, it's going to be a bad game?
Funny, all I keep reading in these forums are posts harping on how everything is a copy of a copy but when it's not... look what happens.
