Survey: current Thief trends and tendencies

Hello everybody,

This is supposed to be a survey. Please do not write any comments that might turn into discussions.

In this survey, please tell us:

1) your current weapon set (Format: D/D, P/D, S/D …)
2) your trait distribution (Format: 0/30/30710/0 …)
3) your preferred engagement (e.g. PvP, WvW, PvE, can be more than one)

In the same numeric order as above

At the end, I want to pool the results to reveal the most popular thief trends.

Note: If you are curious about a build a fellow thief runs, feel free to pm them. Please refrain from commenting on other builds in this poll.

These are only preliminary results

I post this to encourage more poeple to contribute and participate in the survey. From the collected information, I will prepare diagrams depicting:

Popularity of Trait Distribution (for WvW, PvP, PvE and in general)
Popularity of Weapon sets (for WvW, PvP, PvE and in general)
Popularity of Thief engagement (WvW, PvP or PvE)
and many more (depending on the number of entries)

THE MORE PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN THIS, THE MORE ACCURATE THE FINAL RESULT WILL BE

As a teaser, I attach a few diagrams to this post and update them regularly.
Note: I have only gathered around 150 data points, therefore it is not at all representive.

Eventually, I will open a new thread, publishing these results, so we can discuss
