MANIACWILL, I can't speak for others, but when I reply to one of your posts you can be sure I read your entire post. Sometimes your posts are rather long and cover a number of topics, so I don't always reply to every point you make, but I have read it all.
NPC's take time. There is coding involved, as well as the creative side of writing decriptions, actions, possibly dialog, etc. And there is already a long list of things to do that the GM's are working on. Perhaps it would be a good thing to have more non-players to steal from, but you may need to exercise a little patience when asking for a time consuming change like that. Remember, a number of guilds aren't yet developed, and some aren't even open. These guys are busy, working hard and while I'm sure they read every request, they can't possible act on every one immediately, even if they think it's the perfect idea. I'd also like to see at least one stealable NPC, but until those other guilds get going I'm sure not going to be bugging the GM's to make something new for a guild that already has quite a lot going for it. Besides, thieves who like to get in your pockets aren't going to pass you up for an NPC.
And if you think the idea is to make players safe from theft, you'd wrong. Theft is part of the game. It's meant to be there. Otherwise those skills wouldn't exist, and stealing wouldn't even be a possibility.
