Sporadic

By 'worst' I mean most likely to cause problems. Increasing the value and meaning of winning or losing a banditry PVP scenario is going to lead to a lot more meta-stalling and on the flipside a lot worse banditry rp as they try to rush PVP on travelers to get the trade goods before guards show up. Unquestionably this will mean more ban reports and such.

Not to mention that bandits in general don't have to face the consequences of their actions since every fight they win gives them free trade good value but every fight they lose doesn't lose them anything. (Basically risk free compared to merchants who have to take a great risk).

Woops, I missed that.

you raise a good point @AGiantPie it's something we will have to keep in mind.
