Roving encounter never stops following

So....while meandering my way from Brittany to Eastreach Gap, I encountered two roving encounters. The first one I entered and then immediately exited and as I was trying to move away quickly, it started chasing me. I then encountered another one on the road which I tried to avoid and it started chasing me. They were both not far from Brittany and they chased me all the way to the Eastreach Gap.....if I hadn't gone into the Gap, I have no doubt they would have followed me endlessly across the world.

Maybe that needs to be tweaked? Kind of like mobs, where they break from chasing you after a certain distance?

 

Yes please, that would suck big time especially when I go out to harvest and leave scene fully over loaded. No way I'd be able to avoid encounter or out run it .... I thought they could be AVOIDED?
