CCP seriously you are going to allow people to be griefed out of the game and you support that? WTF are you mental or something?

Anyone can put 50 mill, 100mill or whatever bounty on a person, as much as they like, so that they just get constantly shot at by anyone and everyone...

What are you drinking?

Please post the DEV Blog where they mention that is how it is going to work.

Need context here, with regards to be being shot by anyone and everyone.

I'm sure it will be just as flawed preventing that.

And if it's not, I'm good with that too.

Finally we'll be able to put bounties on all those afk ice miners

I'm confused as to what part of that you interpret as "out of the game".

This guy seems and intelligent and well balanced individual who has spent quite a long time putting together his argument, which is supported by top quality critical thinking and presented in a logical yet interesting way design to persuade us to his point of view in a delicate manner.

In light of such a well crafted and masterful use of posting I must make sure that I spent and equal amount of time to compose my rebuttal. Here it goes:

That won't be possible with the new system. If you try it you'll simply end up incurring a loss.

In theory you could do it with the sole purpose of clearing the bounty.

I think this statement:
Quote:
Bounty stuff: Can I grief someone out the game?

Pretty much. If they want to keep dropping cash on someone and going after them. Forum posters who alt post Soundwave does not like. He wants social consequences and for people to debate what they are doing that brought it down. People thinking about the enemies that they make.


And I would read that as griefing someone so much that they leave, not doing it while not logged on kinda.

The griefing mechanism is still inside the game itself. So no on that front.

If you're suggesting that this mechanic allows you to harass someone so that they stop playing entirely... how is that any different from what we already have?

Nowhere does it say you can be shot by just anybody. A bounty does not automatically translate to now anybody can shoot you.

Having a bounty is not an issue... don't know why people care so much about it.

People have to be nice (on the forums) to each other to avoid getting a bounty on their head? Shocked
Also wouldn't that just massively push people to use alts here?

Not sure if I like. What?

Actually having a bounty would be great for solo PVP. People might actually fight me more often.

Have you considered being respectful and polite towards others, instead of acting like a gigantic douchebag? That way people would be less willing to pay huge sums of money to get your sorry ass driven out of the game. If you get a bounty because of your in-game actions, then I'd consider it just a consequense of your actions and a part of normal gameplay.

You mean people using alts so they can post freely and to avoid in-game politics from influencing the responses they get? Isn't that exactly what people already do? I'm also pretty sure bounties have been placed on people because of their forum posting before, so no real change there either. We will just be getting a working official mechanic for it, instead of having to go manually through API verified kills.
