Whats the point of only having Top 10 bounties? right now the top 10 has 5B

I want to look for people with 20 mill to 500 mill can i with the system right now no?

20 to 500 mill is the same worth to a bounty hunter as a 5 bill target.

All bounties should be viewable within the bounty office with Search parameters With Min/Max Values of their bounties

Real life bounty hunters and Cops Can search a database of all bounties/criminals regardless of the *top 10*

Right now the Top 10 is useless for bounty hunters as its only bragging rights for the person in the list


TL;DR
EVERY BOUNTY SHOULD BE VIEWABLE/SEARCHABLE BY ISK AMOUNT MIN/MAX

Second this. As an example, say someone puts a bounty of 50 mil on someones head, and the scumbag REALLY deserves it. How is that person going to be killed unless a bounty hunter just happens to come across them while flying around? It would make ALOT more sense for bounty hunters to be able to search for bounties by the price on thier heads, not by thier specific names. A Min/Max search would solve this problem.

As the current system works, the only way i can find people with 50mil on thier head is to find someone else who ALREADY has 50 mil on thier head and use thier names to search the 5 above and 5 below them. This is COUNTER INTUITIVE. This makes the most efficient way to find a specific bounty be by putting that amount on an alt and searching thier name. PLEASE fix this.

The top ten itself is fine, why not show them, but the search tool itself needs a serious retooling to be effective.

I agree with this also. As it stands the bounty office does not compliment the new system. There should be many more options in there if you ask me. Having max/min bounty search parameters would be great. Another thing I was thinking would be to have system and region bounties, i.e. being able to search/view bounties that were placed locally.

The new system of bounty payouts makes bounty hunting a more viable career option, but it is let down by the bounty office.
