Things you will never read on the thief forum.
“I love being rooted while I wait for pistol whip to finish”
“Please, jump on our forums and tell us your perspective on the state of thieves.”
“yes backstab is op, a nerf may be needed”
“My P/P traps build owns everyone in WvW”
“my shortbow’s single target dps is amazing”
“I know how to use Shadow Trap effectively”
guys stop ruining good thread
“I was just killed by caltrops, NERF!”
I’ve seen this one somewhere, not sure if Thief forums or Guildchat =)
also: “i’m happy A.Net made sure thieves are on a par with other professions in terms of giving boons and putting conditions on enemies.”
“I wish people would learn to play their toons. I’m so tired of farming badges off ungeared, hopeless players while they’re afk and whinging on the forums.”

“Thief stealth isn’t OP because it’s their only survival tactic. They don’t have the massive armor, health pools, or self-healing of other classes, so they need stealth to survive. It’s only the rendering that’s unbalanced.”
“Oh boy! I can’t wait to see what the new Thief changes will be!”
“Rendering makes my stealths more powerful! Oh yea!”
Sea of Sorrows
“S/D is overpowered, nerf plz”
“I once used Body Shot and did not regret it.”
“Here’s some legitimate theorycrafting showing that Body Shot can be very good in [groups|dungeons|sPvP|WvW|farming|jumping puzzles]: …”
“5% vulnerability is worth 5 seconds of initiative.”
“Body Shot is good utility.”
“Guys, if they buff Body Shot it will be overpowered.”
“I didn’t win.” “It would have helped if you had used Body Shot.”
“Can somebody link the latest Body Shot build? I just saw some PvP videos of a thief pwning with it, so epic!!”
“Body Shot and our underwater skills do not need any changes.”
“<3 Body Shot!”

“Then the melee turned into an AOE fest, but I used stealth so I was totally fine.”
“You see me kill that guy just using CnD, then waiting for stealth to expire so I wouldnt get the revealed debuff? It was really quick and easy”
“I’m going to max out my toughness so I can effectively melee without being destroyed by AoE”
pre-ordered HOT at this point,
save yourself the money and don’t bother.

“i never die while stealth is active”
“I wish Thieves had less weapon choices, we just have so many!”
“Our downed state has really useful utilities for personal survival and group fights”
“I don’t want to make a comment about balance”
“I’m sure ArenaNet knows what they’re doing”
