Or is it because the expansion of so-called civilization has pushed them away from their traditional lands into lands of less abundance, and they both want their original lands back and need to raid to feed their families?And as for bandits... one of the neatest storylines in World of Warcraft is about bandits. In the starting human zones, you'll find the Defias bandit band, who are extorting and robbing folks right and left (and for some reason the authorities are kind of leaving it up to the affected people to solve it, for reasons that will be made clear later). But it turns out that these bandits started out as the Stonemason's Guild of Stormwind, and turned to banditry after having rebuilt large portions of Stormwind after the big war, and then being told by the House of Nobles that they weren't getting paid for it because they should have done it out of civic pride or some such BS. Does that justify them turning to banditry, and stealing from commoners? No, but they definitely have a heck of a legit grievance against the powers that be.</blockquote>
