The Bounty system is unfair

Seriously... everybody is getting a bounty, but for me NOTHING!
What is this? Am I too much of a threat? Is it because I'm an AFK Cloaker?
Come on people... I'm posting with my main here... where is my bounty?

You have no bounty? goodness! I have a bounty (albiet a small one) on my market alt!

You should talk it up in local. That'll help I bet. Or post more.

Not unfair, just broken. But whatever, if idiots in Help Chat want to give away ISK that's their malfunction.

Send me the amount if isk you would like placed as a bounty on you. I will then place the bounty.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

I hate that you thought of this before I did.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I'd also like a bounty, please. Make it sizeable as well, i don't want to get lost between all those miners with the paltry 100k ISK on their head..

Hey Dad,

Just wanted to drop you and mum a line about our Corp.

We had about 100mill set on us at 3pm GMT
By 11pm GMT, it had all be claimed.

For those of us that PVP, it's a nice little 'cha-ching' without the loot ninja nonsense :o

Send me new Undies for Xmas, I'm down to one pair and I'm sticking to them .. litterally.

Your loving Klingon-Kiddo,

Spurticlaus

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

They ones that put the bounty up, should just have donated the ISK. It's a giveaway anyway!
And could have save some times collecting the sum.

If I'm pissed off at someone, I damn well be willing to spend the money for someone to burn his ass back to the stone age.
So instead of just giving away money, I'm paying for a service.

I just feel that the [WANTED] should change in size depending on the amount of a bounty. It's kind of odd to see some 75,000 skill point miner with [WANTED] on his portrait with only a 100,000 bounty. Considering most everyone is going to have a really small bounty, that no one will collect, anyways...

I have tested this, and unless you are putting something in the rookie ship worth money, then you wont be receiving a bounty on it.

There is also a small chance he could be god. I don't take those kind of chances with anything that looks like Mr. Freeman.
