Now that Outlanders has been around for a good while and the imms have had the chance to see a few unsuccessful thieves, has there been any consideration in giving back thieves and assassins a limited hide ability? With hide, thieves could hide in places like the plains north of Galadon, while assassins could hide in more wild places. When either class joins Outlanders, they lose the ability completely.

Aside from not making sense that they lose their ability to hide in wild/semi-wild places, whenever their item is gone, they completely lose their ability to conceal themselves, which is the trademark of any stealth class. If someone plays an evil thief, you have few to no combat skills to speak of, the Tribunal, Orc clan, Empire, and Fortress after you, and absolutely no way of concealing yourself or being in any spot that's really safe.

With limited hiding, at least they could go somewhere and hide in the shadow of trees and whatnot. This would provide a little bit more incentive to join a cabal that's really struggling as it is with membership. Also, there are a few thief skills that, to my knowledge, haven't been tweaked and require being hidden for them to work, although they aren't tied to being any kind of civilized skills.

This is directed mostly towards imms, but comments from the playerbase are more than welcome.
