1* star popping? I thought thieves spawn npc hunters?

why would npc hunters hurt poor little traders?

1* popping was before the new job system (more than a year ago), only npc thiefs would spawn even on thief caravans cuz npc hunters didnt exist. A thief would ride his horse with goods next to a low lvl trader, when the npc thief would spawn it would attack the trader instead of the thiefs horse, the trader would die and the thief would steal the loot on the ground. It pissed 1*'s off and it was actually scary trading with a 1* back then

. It was never fun until i was the one doing the popping.
