I love the changes made to the bounty system. But have an idea that could stop many of the complaints about the wanted sign.

I do not think people should be able to remove it and I do think it's working as intended. But I think that there should be an option as to the style, positioning and maybe it's transparency.

These options of maybe 3 or 4 styles and where about on the picture it's placed. This would mean many portraits will not be completely covered, by what is a very large new version of the wanted sign.

Ideas?

Edit: Ideas suggested so far:

To be allowed to adjust it to completely cover the face.

Scaling depending upon your bounty. (eg: <1M = 6 point, <10M = 7 point, <100m = 8-point etc) With decreased transparency depending on the bounty size.

Special wanted signs for the top 100.

Please keep them coming, I'd like to think someone at CCP has seen and likes this idea.

I like this idea. The WANTED sign is so boring now. Let's mix it up.

Good idea

Scale the font size logarithmicaly with the size of the total bounty; (eg: <1M = 6 point, <10M = 7 point, <100m = 8-point etc)

Decrease transparency with the number of bounties

Allow players to choose font style (eg: Old West Gothic, a 20s style Sans-Serif, a "future" console style... others?)

Indeed scaling could be the answer. Nice idea.

It shouldn't be removable, and should scale based on the bounty size imo.

Special wanted sign for the top 100 most wanted players as well.

Option to choose the placement of the sign would be nice, at bottom, at top, diagonally across etc. Some control over where to sign is so it doesn't cover the face, or that it does cover the face.

Can we also get the "WANTED" in big red letters under our avatars in the forums?

And for some extra isk, can we take the WANTED and the red fonts and add a short desription under the avatar as to why they are wanted?

Make it look like a ribbon in the corner just like the T2/faction/deadspace/officer for items but bigger than that. That would be a nice option for everyone. Make the red color more intense if the bounty is high.

Also, make it appear in the forums/evegate as well.

I like all the idea so far. Let's face it, any option that makes you able to see our face or not, is preferable.
