Good day and sorry in advance for my horrible english.
I belive, that bounty-hunter is one of path in EvE. But today Bounty-Office use for vanity and advertising. Another problem, that players with price for their heads just make new jump-clone and destroy him by alternative character.
I see next path to solve this problems:

1) Exploit bounty-office for PR and advertising.
I don't know how to get people do not use this exploit (but want to hear your ideas), but i have solution, that can show players more actual information in bounty-office:
1.1) Do not show in most-wanted-list players, who have no active account.
1.2) Add the few another most-wanted lists:
  • For a year.
  • For a month.
  • For a week.

    • 2) Exploit with new jump-clone.
    Limit the one-time payments:
    2.1) No more price of implants in clone .
    2.2) No more 10kk for clone without implants.

    Limit the payments may seem, that it change principle of the big bounty-prices, when more players wanna to got it, but i guess - players give big bounty when they want to cause inconvenience to another player, and if another player have long-term bounty it may make him a lot of problem, no less then current system. Also players will know that if the pirates have implants, it can bring a lot of money

    Are you referring to all those EOH poker faces or whatever they're called?
    Until the bounty system becomes something both meaningful and functional, they may as well use it like that. At least it's good for something.

    What about gradually decrease as a percentage of their rewards if they do not take part in battles with players? I think it is quite logical that the is removed of bounty, if pirate become safe.

    I like it. Would be a (small) ISK sink as well. At least until bounty hunting gets an overhaul. You are not the only one who wants to see it improved.

    Thank you. And if someone want place advertisement in game maybe developers can make special service with CONCORD billboard :). (is another story, of course)

    There's no easy solution to the bounty office with its "fake" bounties. People can always put bounties on themselves. What?

    You right, of course. It important, that "fake-bounties-players" will lose their isk in bounty office. Well, i think bounties should be removed in any case after the first week of first put bounties.

    No, sorry, bad idea. Anyone can use alts to fight them.
