Theorem that needs testing
I have seen this happen a few times and made a theorem. Sometimes, your heading towards a bandit trigger and before you reach them, they disappear. But, you find other bandits elsewhere that weren't there .5 minutes ago. So I'm thinking the bandits all disappear at certain intervals and regenerate elsewhere. How much that interval is, I don't know either. This is just a theorem.
I've seen this happen too. My guess would be that when a bandit is triggered, another one shows up randomly on the map. Of course, this will eventually cause all the bandits to be gone on the main paths people take so there's probably something in the code that moves bandits after a period of time.
One thing I'd like to add, though, is that sometimes this happens REALLY abnormally often. I'd be walking around and bandits would be disappearing and appearing all over the place. I have no plausible explanation for this. Also, there's really no way to explain this...
