Fully agree with Recneps on this one. The Bandits are meant to simulate outcasts more than ordinary thieves. These people rob because they need the gear and provisions you may have on you. They don't need coin per se, but they'll take it on opportunity anyway. These NPCs are added to enhance the pve gameplay challenge, not to represent lore accurate features. For that reason I think their occurence and behaviour in most biomes is justifiable.
