Hey now, closely reading this thread should clue you into the fact that we're all joking here. Anyone who wants to steal from other players, and tries to do so deserves a little shot of humility.
To give a non sarcastic answer to those who want to get better without honing their reading skills, No, you can not steal anything at all from other players unless you somehow scam them in a trade. Rogues do not get a pickpocket-from-mobs ability in eq2.
Lets take just a second and think about the game as a whole: Sony is going to great lengths to build a strong player to player economy. This is evident in all of the changes they have made to tradeskill items and harvestied item price changes.
What kind of hypocrites would they be if they a) gave all players the option to steel currency and items at will from other players, or even b) set up a money making class that had an advantage over all other classes?
How would these be consistent with the other goals sony has professed regarding balance between classes? Why would it EVER make sense in ANY situation to be able to steal from players?
Maybe this isn't perfectly obvious to everyone, but come on, dont be a party pooper when a funny thread like this one comes around!
To those who arent sure what class to play and want to know what abilities different classes get, check http://www.thescoutssanctuary.com/ for all of your scouting needs, and http://clanwhitestorm.com/eq2info/index.htm for everything else. Casters and priests are grouped under spell lists, fighters and scouts under combat arts.
