Everytime I log in there's like 2-3 theives and just as many assassins in my range. Its to the point where I literally dump my inv somewhere obscure when I log and and collect it when I need it/log off. Doesn't stop them from jacking me and taking my potions, boat, canteen and food.

They're also far too willing to gank too. I don't have a major issue with ganks, its part of the game, but grouped hidden chars make me paranoid as they can easily perma lag me and I can't see them coming.
