A new Bounty Scam

Since the release of the new bounty system, players that are wanted will hang around Jita Station (close enough to dock) waiting for somebody to buy their 1 billion ISK Kill Right then dock up. Not so much of a good scam. However, if the scammer is 100km away from the station with a lower kill right on them (we will say 20 million ISK) fitted with six warp core stabilizers, then those who buy their kill right and try to warp scramble the scammer will be disappointed to see him/her warp off easily and dock up to a station. It reminds me of fishing.

Who would have thought that nearly one year after the changes to mechanics, it has taken until now for details about this cunning & devious ruse to emerge from the shadows.

No one has scammed me out of my bounty yet, thank goodness.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

You mean there's people in this game who understand the game mechanics?
