Yeah, but even so, let's consider when you're creating a party for any one of those instances whether you'd rather have a rogue or mage along. A rogue's primary purposes in a group are to sap humanoids prior to battle and provide single target damage. A mage, however, can sheep the same humanoids, whether the target is in combat or not, provide the same powerful single target damage, and provide massive aoe. I just don't see a role in a party that a rogue has over other classes other than the occational lockpicking. They don't even provide any auras or buffs to the party.
Understand that I'm not saying "rogues are useless in a party." I'm just saying that I don't see a special role that they fill versus other classes. It'd be nice if on occation people had to say, "Hmmm... we'd better grab a couple of rogues for this."
