The first days after that update, there will be a lot of thiefs because everybody wanna kill the hunter npcs. 5 days after the update the thiefs see that it is hard to thief without popping so there will not be very much thiefs anymore. A few weeks after the update, there will be a lot of multistar trades, because there aren't much thiefs anymore. That will make the thiefs come back so that there are just as much thiefs as now-a-days, or maybe even more.
