What if the Thief was a gathering class?

The only thing they could steal is things from your personal bazaar. That is not a lot of stuff and all the things in there are stuff you put. Plus if you never go afk then you can keep all the stuff in your bazaar and never get anything stolen. However you get up to get a drink or go to the bathroom and you run the risk of having stuff in your bazaar taken out. It would be like a secondary stealing option so they would have to have the secondary item equipped. This could be a bad idea admittedly but I like it.

the main thing about bazaar AND retainers is that you can sell your things while not having to be in front of your computer. this is a REAL bad idea...id be really mad to wake up the next morning and see that a thief stole all the buc gear i put in my bazaar! Yeah after all, why PAYING for that stuff in peoples bazaar if i can just steal it off of em?

I never said anything about retainers. That is how we make money. No thief should be allowed in the market wards. I am only talking about your personal bazaar. That is the bazaar you carry with you. If they are going to add PVP I don't believe it is too much to have a thief who can steal from other players as long as the inventory they can steal from is limited and the player getting stolen from can catch the person in the act. Think of all the people selling stuff in their personal bazaar for 999999999 gil. This is stupid and all those people may be saving space in their inventory but may also run the risk of getting it stolen. I am sure SE will never do this since there is such a strong opposition to it but to me it is still fun to talk/think about.
