I roam WvW as a solo ranger and I would say about 75% of my encounters are with thieves. Reason being because they are the class that has the most low risk roaming due to the stealth abilities they have. Rangers on the hand can't afford the luxury of f*cking up in a 1v1 or 2v1 for that matter.
Every time I fight a thief the following outcomes are: I kill him, he kills me, or he runs around and stealth like no tomorrow wasting my time, or dragging the fight to the point where I just don't even care anymore or to the point where he stalls me long enough to have the zerg show up and kill me.
So if I can't kill a thief within the first few minutes of fighting, I just go on my merry way. Does this mean thief are OP? No not really, though even with 3K armor and 16K health I still die to a backstab thief in a matter of seconds if I am not paying attention, they're just extremely annoying and everyone and their mother plays one in WvW hence being the hipster that I am, am never going to play one, at least not in PvP or WvW.
