It's not going to be quite that simple. Obviously the "my alt can just kill me to collect a bounty" was one of the first major issues with the current system that was discussed, this entire revamp would be a waste of time if players will be able to exploit the hell out of that for personal profit once all is said and done.

It's one thing to say someone is a terrible poster, quite another to put some virtual space money on it. I say go for it.

Sounds interesting.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I fully support this idea. Best use of the CREST system yet.

I bet before the system will be implemented, they will be allready ready ideas to abuse the system. Being a bad poster isn't a problem. You have to change the direction, giving good posters an incentive.

Even when most of the pilots here optimistic, I'm not. The creativity of the bad boys is always higher than expected and I love it. Hans Jagerblitzens posting is just an certificate for his own incompetence, when he really believes, abuse isn't possible.

Sorry thats a meta-gaming and not gaming, so I'm not for it. I advocated contract kill system for EVE to replace bounty system, which would automate deals with a mercenary or mercenary corp, much more elegant, would do everything this idea allows and much more.

However, that would be in game, not meta-game.

While I find the idea amusing, it will further encourage the use of posting with NPC alts, or other alts that aren't used in any fashion that would place them in harms way.

That doesn't mean the idea has no use or isn't worthwhile. It does highlight a sad aspect of the forums, though.

You kidding me, I'll badpost and troll till my bounty is huge, then get a buddy to pod me and we split the take. Muhahahahahahaha!

This would actually be the best thing i've seen in EVE yet.

As for the NPC alts thing, maybe add peoples alts from that account under the posters user name or something.

This gives less alts, but don't gives better posts. This will be a system I would like to abuse from the first second of existence. You can't make easier ISK

To all the morons who think that you can just pod with a buddy or an alt: There is going to be a huge revamp of the Bounty system. The current method of bounty abuse will be gone. The current metric on the way bounties will be paid will be gone. Hans knows more than you about this.

This idea is pure, weapons-grade win.

Ask any of the other CSM members, Poetic, or even CCP staff in the Skype channel. I've been a vocal backer of this since it was first (jokingly) suggested.

Even if it didn't hit the forums for some reason, I would still back it for inclusion on EVE Gate and/or via CREST.
