Honestly, I've been main-ing thief through two different accounts since 2012 and I think stealth is and always has been the most broken, anti-competitive, mechanic I've ever seen. With that said I guarantee it's not going anywhere since they just nerfed the non-stealth using condi build to the ground while buffing perma stealth. Either way playing perma stealth is boring so I'm switching to my guard for a main. I think there are two easy solutions to it, have stealth be a camo that blends you into the environment but still leaves you somewhat visible if you pay attention or just not have it break target lock. Thieves aren't the only problem here either, mesmers are ridiculous., though lately they seem like they've been nerfed. I think it just comes down to DE being buffed up to FoTM status. Give it some time and it'll be brought back down.
