That and the fact that thieves are persecuted by many factions, and much like RL it makes sense that they'd organize. For in case anyone doesn't know, organized crime is almost as old as crime itself. IRL, thieves guilds were a very real thing along the ages.

I may be wrong, but I think for the most part thieves in the guild do have better things to do than to kill each other, and seeing what I see it really does make sense for all involved. I completely agree that it just wouldn't work for any other class, that's what cabals are for if you really need to go that way IMHO (since cabals are often focused on certain kinds of classes, at least)
