Note that this is just an idea i'm throwing out here.
Ok, so it's well known that we don't have many actual thieves in the site. I was thinking maybe it's because being a thief is all down sides and no perks. I was thinking we could encourage thieving a bit more by having better perks for being one!
For example,
Guild Members:
PERKS
-Get a free bag with every team creation
-Get free ribbon upon team creation
-Are well known and get frequent missions that they can choose from that are helpful to other pokemon.
-Can join anytime as long as character has no crime record
-Can use Box shop
DRAWBACKS
-Cannot steal
-Cannot go to black market
-Must pay full price at shops
So I was thinking that the thieves could have a more organized and official group of thieves that is similar to the guild, but is for thieves.
Thieves Guild Members
PERKS
-Can haggle for lower prices at shops(Just a suggestion)
-Can receive top secret missions that are usually stealing from pokemon, taking care of grudges(being a hitman), or maybe spying on the guild or other thieves that may be a threat.
-Can go to black market
-Can attempt to steal(just a suggestion, but maybe a die could be made with a low chance of succeeding)
-Jobs pay slightly more than guild jobs
DRAWBACKS
-If you are discovered a bounty might be placed on your head
-You're on your own if you get arrested, but if you manage to get free it'll welcome you back
-Get your own bag
-get a free X-Eye seed ONCE every mission, and is taken away if you don't use it
Details on the guild of thieves could be created and the perks and drawbacks could be tweaked to more fitting needs. Like I said, this is just an idea i'm throwing out there ^^ Post your opinions below please.
