I'm just wondering if you are just genuinely unlucky, if you are exaggerating (you'll have to excuse me for thinking this a possibility after you called the main RP hotspot " a wretched hive of scum of villainy" based off a few very personal experiences), or if you're doing something to provoke this sort of behavior to receive it so much more often than others.
To be fair, from my perspective, once is a coincidence, twice is creepy, and I could easily see how these kind of encounters could happen a handful of times to a single player, thus convincing them to stay away. I'd only need something like Rahal described to happen to me more than once for me to think "maybe I shouldn't go there anymore," but in the same line, I wouldn't paint everyone who does go there with the scum and villainy brush.
I've spent a little bit of time sidelining in the Quicksand and never had a questionable experience. I've witnessed the occasional questionable thing, but the actual "scum and villainy" encounters I've personally had in this game have taken place at the marketboard and at the aetheryte, hubs of a not at all IC sort, and I don't feel the need to avoid them, but if those encounters had been Quicksand-based, even though they were infrequent, I'd still be inclined to avoid the place.
