That's the implied gist/connotation/whatever that was extrapolated from a statement that Yoshi made. Re: that statement, somehow no one thought this important enough to write down in their translations, instead summarizing Yoshi's exposition and leaving this bit out. >_>
Skip to approximately 23:00 in the video below.
"So you have the classes in FFXIV, they fit in with the story. Each class has their own guild and their own history. When we're thinking of creating a new class and a class that would have its own guild, you think thieves and that's more like petty thievery; you want something more solid."

People have been taking that, running with it, and I've been seeing/hearing arguments that go, "you can't have a thief in XIV, because thieving is bad!"
EDIT: Yes, I know that, not even a minute later, Yoshi goes on to state that rogues have evolved from thieves into this miniature society with a "thief history".
