So far I've reasoned that arrogance and underestimating them might be prime reasons, but I kinda cannot play all my BBEGs as such.
Also, after gaining a bit of fame and renown the underestimating shouldn't happen anymore.
In this case, my PC's (at lvl 9) are known for saving the world and stopping a rather major crime syndicate.
Why would any other criminal organisation in the towns they enter let them live long enough to pose a danger to them?
