Would it not be cool if you got a link to the kill mail that comes with the notification of a bounty collected and a discrete bounty.

You know, you could just give me that isk and I could make up stories of fights and things for you?

yeah it would be! it's something we wanted to do but couldn't fit in before Retribution. Maybe later!

you can at least contact the person who owns the kill report and ask if they'll share it with you (they can drag it to EVEMail)

Is this one of those cases where you look at your chain of functions that happen upon ship death, and 'Send bounty notification mail' is happening before 'Generate kill report', and its a pain in the ass to re-do it?

Also, the bounty notification only shows the victim, not the killer. I have a feeling the killer may be more willing to share the killmail :)

Also CCP Punkturis would you be a dear and let everyone know in the Little Things thread that devs are actually reading it? <3

Already mentioned in another thread, but 'add bounty to post'.

It would be glorious.

My suggestion is that everyone place individual bounties anonymously through Discreet Bounties. Thanks in advance for your business.

I've just been in my first post-Retribution fight.

I am absurdly pleased that I collected a share on 2 bounties Cool


Honestly I think the people that are ~outraged~ should maybe give things a few weeks to see how they settle out.

I'd love that.

I'm still privy to a place bounty button in the forums, as well as a "Bounties recieved: # ISK" and "Bounties claimed: # ISK" under likes ;)

The best part is, I've done nothing but make people laugh today, yet I'm rolling in bounties now. This system rocks!

Also I think it may conflict with the inability to place bounties on CCP members ;) you should be open to the same abuse.
