I was being pestered by a thief earlier today. I needed to recall but was worried he would steal my weapon as I did so. I ran around hiding and he would follow me. I managed to hide and waited until he walked next to me and hid himself. As soon as he did, I recalled but he was still able to steal my item. Why was he able to steal immediately after hiding?
No delay for stealing after hiding?

Because it's all screwed up here. Has been since launch. It's intended to work this way on UOF.

Yup, stealing is in the savor of thieves here compared to other shards. Shane must love the thief role to hook them up so much.
Let's also not forget how loud thieves cry when a fair change is suggested. A cool down period between hiding and stealing? Completely outta the question /*feigns mock indignance*/

Thieving here is a far cry from what thieving used to be and anyone who tries to defend the art of thieving will even tell you that it's whack here.
It's an interesting change to say the least. I just can't help but feel trapped if I am being stalked by a thief. I used to have a disarm mage theif back on OSI and it was a lot of fun. I think the only remedy is a locked chest in your bag. Maybe secretly Shane has a soft spot for tinkers and carps.

Not at all. Tinker trapped boxes are broke on this shard. if you use a locked box, you have to unlock it all the time. If you use a tinker trapped box, you should be safe from a snooping thief and still be able to open the box. Here the box explodes on you regardless of if it has been disarmed or not.
So... The moral of this story is.., Shane nerfed tinkers FOR the thieves... at least that's my take on it.

Funny I hear UOF loves thieves and hates them, more hates them.
You can hide, wait, then use steal w no delay. Right after hiding you have to wait (8 secs?) to steal as far as I know

You have to wait after hiding to be able to steal (or to be able to do any other action).
Dunno what you're saying, really... that's not possible (maybe he hid with Invis?)

That should not be possible... i guess he either invis himself (so no hiding, but spell) or there was another thief.
Try it, after hiding you HAVE to wait like 9s to do any other action.

The thief just hit their steal macro and left the target up, they then waited 10 seconds and hid with the target still up, then they targeted your lootz (or used last target macro) from hiding when you went to recall. No bugs, in fact there is a delay of .5 seconds I think (someone else know for sure?) between the stealing and then hiding even after waiting the 10 seconds, so you cannot steal than re-hide immediately. RIP perfect shadow steals.
