Literally 0 contribution stopping lanes, dealing extra damage when your dueling/pvping (you feel it more on snubs). They really need to go, its hard to type and avoid being shot at my 5 NPC Gbs that continuously follow you unless you manage to break 10k range and hope no ones still near them so they dont come back. Irritating.

Which is?
Populating the game environment. They're the background scenery that stops the game feeling entirely dead when you don't encounter a single player during a 40 minute trade run.
Actually I think the big problem is the way NPCs chase players down even a certain NPC type even just flickers ok the radar. Is there a way to alter their AI to make them give up sooner?
