What's Next? Story/Level/Class?

[RolandDebreton]

I know EVERYONE is so gung ho on the Thief Idea.... I don't get it. Ever since Locke in FF6 Thief is a stupid job. It was cool in FFXI as a positional melee, but we already have two of those.... The most redeeming trait of the Thief class is the ability to sneak/mug/steal.... but gil is meaningless in XIV so again.... pointless.

Real jobs please!!

I've asked this of my very thief/scout excited friends. In ffxiv's very quick paced style, with zero need for a dps puller and no need to camp xp, and dungeons becoming well trained, repetitive rote what is the point of a scout/thief? I'm asking seriously, I'd like to become excited about the meaningful concept.
