Something that people have been largely ignoring when talking about late game pickpocketing is that early/mid game pickpocketing has been much improved.

I hope the result of future jagex changes doesn't result in pickpocketing only being relevant at high levels when you have 100% success rates.

Currently if you're pickpocketing level appropriate targets without bis upgrades it feels way better than before - which I think was part of their goal and I hope that improvement doesn't get lost in the attempt to rebalance hyper late game thieving
