I think the bounty system is broken and doesn't work the way it was intended.

Instead its a rich man's toy to put on people they wanna diss, otherwise it doesn't do much for the game. It will always favour those players with lots of isk to WASTE, coz it is a waste!

Instead they should add bountys on pirates who destroy other players ships and who break the laws of Concorde. I would also put a bounty on any corp or alliance who wardec another as they are the aggressor, even if they may be doing that for a good cause.

But the bounty system doesn't work as it stands now.

PS: Go ahead and put bounty on me, its an alt I don't play hardly, and I hope you rich players waste your money!

Meh. Bounty should have been a contract system and not a random free for all.

So… how was it intended, do you think?

…as intended.

No, it's a player tool, not something that has anything to do with NPC interaction. So having it in any way connected to CONCORD (or Concorde) would definitely not follow the intent of the mechanic.

You can already do this.

Bounties are ****, because the payment system is ****. Communist payment bullshit. Should be a one time 100% payout to whoever gets the final blow.

Current system is pussyfied beyond belief.

That's why you ignore it and become a merc instead.

Bounties can never work in eve because of alts.

And that changes... let me count what things that would change.

Quick, someone tell me how to count to nothing, please.

So go back to the days of podding a naked clone with an alt for the bounty payout or just change it to noobships? Either is fine with me. I used to love collecting my own bounties.

The pussyfied part is people being scared to engage the guys with worthwhile bounties/ships because they'll get their asses kicked.

22. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.

Thread locked.

If you have an idea about how to improve Eve, please flesh it out with specifics and post it in the Features and Ideas Discussion subforum. General "this sucks!" griping is not constructive and only invites trolling.
