I'm sure many of you have had it happen before: while trying to escape from one of the bandits to the next street over, the worst strikes: area loading lag. In other lands, it's a nuisance. In the ancestral lands, it means certain theft of whatever the bandit(s) has set its eyes on. While you wait for the loading screen to come up, you are a sitting duck.
I realize the bandits are there to add a little spice and excitement to an area that is otherwise there only for free items, but being vulnerable to theft because of slowness on the game's part seems just a little unfair.
What I propose is that, if possible, the mechanics of the bandits are slightly tweaked so that they can no longer steal from players who are "stuck" waiting for the screen to load.
