 IC is IC, but after my five dangers are farmed, I'd rather just avoid the personal risk of engaging with antagonists in the wilds

Aren't you also just trying to reap the rewards of danger farming with this statement alone? Personal risk is what antags take to push the world state forward instead of allowing things to stagnate, even after they've already done their dangers for a token. If they're writing extra stuff in an rp, perhaps that is to encourage a plot hook for you to follow up on. 

Sometimes people need others to latch onto so that they have reason to keep their own stories moving. Rewarding antags for boxing people is fine, especially when you can just injure people instead of having to outright slay them. This allows conflict to bloom, which in turn can give good protags a reason to exist alongside their enemies.

Also antags carry the risk of just dying outright should they get captured. There is no trading or bargaining or backup in most cases.
