So bandits should only be a threat to new players. In this case i hope we can disable them, if they aren´t challenging at all, they are just another sourcde for bugs and lag.
I can understand that approach for a game that isn´t early access or has a way shorter early access phase. But in this game the majority of the active player base is experienced in the game. And that won´t change. There will be even more experienced players at the end of next year.
