In my opinion they are a very fun aspect to the whole PR experience. Like many other have said, I wouldn't be scared when walking around down there if it wasn't for them.
However, when you group up and go kill them you face an instant respawn, which means theres nothing to do about em for us players currently.
All they need is a respawn timer, say 30-40 minutes, and they will be perfect.
Spottiing a kp from far away isn't very difficult if you are paying attention, and if you aren't, why are you in the games more dangerous area? The roots are described in lore as a dangerous place, and without the KP they wont be. Keeping radar on 250m you can easily distinguish them as a group of dots that move faster and in one direction as opposed to the rest. Then there are macros that help you find them, and having view distance on max you can't miss the towering Great kirosta in the distance. I realize max distance won't be available for everyone, as it does require some performace and the game should be accessible to as many different computer specs as possible, but that still leaves two very good ways to spot the patrols way before they try to eat you.

"It's shite being tryker! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of Atys! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the Matis. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Marceline, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****** difference"
