Overall, though, pickpocketing isn't worthwhile if you aren't enthused by the novelty of exercising a power that nobody else has. You never get anything particularly interesting from pickpocketing, and the amount of money you get is really nominal considering the delay that it takes to pickpocket someone...

...and re-arrange your inventory so you can actually get the items you just 'pickpocketed' but couldn't actually pick up.

Pickpocketing is an exercise in inconvenience with no real reward for the extra time spent doing it for 99% of the mobs in the game.

That said, I pickpocket everybody. But mostly for the roleplaying thrill. It's not really worthwhile. Maybe if mobs could be pickpocketed for a significant chance of ore, or gadgets/gizmos (gyrochronatoms, maybe?) or darkmoon faire turnins like vibrant feathers, etc, or random herbs... THEN it might be worth it. But 2 silver plus a random assortment of grays that will clog your inventory isn't even worth the extra time between kills.
