If, in theory, the Random Events were partially created to eliminate bots, it makes sense that if you behave sort of like a bot, a random event might occur more frequently. (i.e. doing repetitive things, not moving much at all, etc). This is just my theory because I've noticed it happens a lot to people who fish a lot, cut the same tree a lot, or just by standing there talking without moving too long.

I've seen something like this myself. Now whether he intended to scam me or honestly wanted to die, who's to say? Personally, I leaned towards scam and didn't go along with it. He showed up in the bank and made some observation about what I was wearing. My guess is he saw my rather crudely build gold amulet and assumed it actually did something other than sparkle. He started making a big to do about "Please kill me in the wildy." I said no, he insisted that he had nothing on him (I know you can put your armor in your bag so not falling for that one). He wanted to show me some high lvl sword I couldn't use anyway that he'd give me. I had to tell him to bug off several times but eventually he left. I've been killed by a lure in the wildy before. I make it a policy not to get near it.
