...thieves.

Alternate title: Learn to play your damn job.
Honestly, 90% of the thieves I see have no freaking clue how to play the game. I'm almost surprised they figured out how to get a subjob.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a 75 thief. Yes, I am a thief. Now, I'm not trying to say I'm better than anyone else. Other people have already said it for me. But please, if you're going to take up a job that requires skill to play, GET SOME DAMN SKILL. If you ever have partied with a 75 thief who looks like he has just taken up the job, you know exactly what I mean. If you haven't, you probably are one of these thieves. They're everywhere.
Here's a story about a retard and a thief fed up with long lfp times.
Ok, so, I'm walking around whitegate, going on my 79th hour lfp. As I'm bashing my head against my monitor, I notice someone who appears to be a 64 thief. Notice I said appears to be.
He's wearing the AF... he's got a dagger... but wait...

His gear is ass. Being the kind, reasonable, patient person that I am, I decided to educate said thief on proper gear choice.
Venlo>> Excuse me...
Thief>> wut?
Great. English is his second language.
Venlo>> Well, I was looking at your gear and...
Venlo>> Well, it's shit.

Damn. I should really look into that not being an asshole thing.
Thief>> gtfo
Venlo>> Thanks, I try.
Venlo>> Why do you use your AF head and body?
Thief>> bc its the AF, SE made it 4 thfs
Venlo>> SE is fucktarded.
Venlo>> No job's AF is good except for maybe paladin.
Venlo>> And pup, I guess. but that's only because everything they can equip is shit anyway.
Thief>> r u trying 2 tel me 2 change my gear ?
Venlo>> No dipshit, we're having a tea party.
Venlo>> As a fellow thief, I highly recommend that you get some better gear.
Thief>> gtfo
*sigh* Just keep your patience, it will mean one less retard in the thief community.
Venlo>> Attack earrings would do you better good than agility, and amemet mantle costs about half as much as nomad's mantle.
Thief>> go away or ill call a GM 4 u harasing me
Did he just say... GM?
Venlo>> Really?
Fun, fun, fun.
Thief>> I jsut calld a GM 4 harasment
Several minutes tick by as my faith in humanity plummets, and finally I get a tell from my favorite GM friend, [GM]Embub. Except replace friend with dumbass. And replace GM with brainless.
Well, as I have my conversation with said brainless dumbass, it becomes relevant to me that a monkey could do a better job than this piece of crap. (Note to self: consider becoming GM to dominate Vana'diel.) I pretend to acknowledge everything he says while plotting a friendly adventure with my great pal, the thief.
Venlo>> Hey.
Thief>> wut?
Venlo>> Sorry for being an ass earlier.
Thief>> np
Venlo>> Would you like to camp an NM with me?
Wait for it...
Thief>> sure!
Ding!
Venlo>> Alright, meet me in korroloka tunnel.
Thief>> morion worm ?
Venlo>> No, these are much better.
Thief>> kk
Anyhow, I grab my warp cudgel and a silent oil head to korroloka with my favorite thief friend, and we work our way to (G-9) of the 4th map. For those of you who don't know what resides at (G-9) on map numero fouro, it's my favorite NM. Well, NMs. There's three of them. I personally like to call them Bruce, John, and WHATTHEHELLIMBEINGEATEN, but most people refer to them as Jammer Leeches.
Venlo>> Alright, these are them.
Thief>> sweet, lets fight
Bait.
Venlo>> Ok, I'll fight the one on the right, you get the one in the middle.
Thief>> which 1? their pretty close
Venlo>> Don't worry, they don't link.
Thief>> k
So I ranged attack Jammer Leech John with my crossbow and start running, use a silent oil, and run through a puddle of water; all the while the other thief is trying to fight off Bruce and his linked buddy WHATTHEHELLIMBEINGEATEN. Did I say they didn't link? Oops.
Switch.
Now, a resourceful thief would have hit perfect dodge. A resourceful thief would have used flee and saved his own sorry ass. This idiot was not a resourceful thief.
Dumbass falls to level 63.
Venlo>> Holy shit, dude, are you ok?
Your tell was not recieved. The recipient has deleted his content I.D. and converted to WoW.
Hey, I was right. One less retard in the thief community.
Honestly people, either learn to play your job well with decent gear or get a new damn job.
It's people like this that make the good thieves spend hours upon hours lfp.
