Not really... if there were a bigger incentive to thief generated by said multiplier, there would also be a drop in traders as they are further discouraged to go out and get thief. Instead, with the new job update, traders can level and carry more, while thieves can do the same. At this moment in time, a job level means shit. That is, other then identifying you as being fairly proficient in the job. With the job update, your job level will affect money made, damage dealt, etc. Perhaps there's a "get more dough for your stolen loot" option. No way in hell would gold companies bother exploiting it though. Even if, and this would be amazingly unlikely, there was a way for a thief to earn more gold then the trader initially invested [bot setup = trader buy loot, trader drop loot, thief take loot, thief sell loot, repeat], the system would be too inefficient by say me, Nya the Asshole, killing the thief. Besides, I heard gold bots make like 10m a day. I have never even made close to that much thieving all day. [most I pulled in was 5m, most with trading was 11m]
