First of all, this kind of post is designed for PMs, so you shouldn\'t even have posted it. Remember that for next time. It isn\'t a chat board, but a discussion forums. Private talk is why PMs were invented.
Second of all, the pickpocketing and thieving skills wont even be considered to be implemented until the day a fully working PvP system is worked out and integrated into the game, so you can easily become a blacksmith before anything is changed. And when... if... it gets changed, you can make a thief character just as well as everyone else.
