This bounty hunting system is so full of win ...

(Unless Goons start messing with the market prices of modules again.. Lol)

Gratz for your first sweet feelings of revenge. :)

@CCP Alice (I think that's the right dev)...


Instead of a 'dislike' button, allow us to set bounties on bad posts.

Thanks! :)

YES

That would be nice. Eve has consequences. No, so do the forums.

If I could place a bounty through the forums I would literally run out of money within a day.

Please do this CCP.

ITT: New player who doesn't understand how bounties work. Have fun getting ganked by other gankers Pirate


I know how the new bounties work, and i'm not worried at all. Should i be scared of undocking? Why? Probably you would, but that's is a carebear way of thinking that i won't follow.

Keep manufacturing junk, fighting rocks or whatever you do and have a nice day.

As a total carebear who likes mining and making things who, up until last week was about to give up on this game because I felt that I would never be able to get revenge against all those who have wronged me (check my kill board, there is been a few).

I took a good look into this and rubbed my dirty miners hands together.

At last a way I can get my own back.

So today I sold my kill rights, all of them, and a few hours after doing so, a notification popped up saying a kill right had been completed.

I checked the kill boards.

My loss, 50m, their loss, 58m.

Victory.

Shortly after members of the pirate corp, threatened to come and find me and kill me. My simple reply, I have deep pockets, for every kill you make on me: I will add as a bounty on your corp, every kill right: I will sell.

I cant fight you, but others can and you will have to lose 5 x my loss for wronging me.

I swear, I could almost taste the pirate tears... Or is that carebear tears?

Now I understand why all them pirates for all these years complained so loudly as soon as there was any threat to their power. It was now time for them to feel like victims.

I have not once, in all of my game time in eve, felt like I had actually "won". I felt like the beaten up bottom of the pile pesant that gets kicked around all fhe time. I didnt make this kill, but it felt like I did and it felt good.

So much so I sent the people on the kill mail a thankyou email and some extra ISK with encouragement to keep up the good work.

Oh revenge is so sweet.

Thank you CCP for allowing carebears to encourage the pew pew in others.


Thanks for sharing your story and prove us that the new system is an important step forward for eve.

Am I the only one who thinks this bounty hunting is just a equally bad rehash of the previous system?

Thank you for the good read.. yes.. now us non-psypathic killers, who prefer a different playstyle than living hand to mouth, and not spending all day blowing stuff up, but instead building stuff and working the economy have the power to kill.

Yes, industrial carebears might be easy 'targets', but they have deep pockets, and when trouble comes, bounties will be posted, and payback will be a *****.. I have a little list of people that I have a pet peeve against for messing with me.. and they will feel the power of my wallet.

Until you post the killmails, you're bull*****ing. Anyone can make stuff up to defend the system they believe empowers them, based simply on the observation of negative feedback by the people it's supposed to negatively affect. Come on, let's see those mails.

I ganked a hauler carrying over a billion ISK worth of stuff today. He raged at me in a chat, and then put a 500 million bounty on my head. I used an alt and a clever selection of items to inflate the value of my insured ship thousands of percent beyond its actual worth, and then collected that bounty at the cost of maybe a tenth of the profit. Then I mailed the gankee a link to the video that I took of what I described above, so he knew that his money was well spent. He cursed me out, said "**** this game," and logged off. Haven't seen him since.

So that's what a victory in this game feels like!

Not exactly ... since the pirate has to buy a new ship he keeps the cash flowing into your pocket and thereby finance his own bounty :) THAT is the true joke of it all :)

Post killmail or it didn't happen.

That's how this works around here, right??

This is why I think the new crime system in Retribution is so fantastic!

Well done sir.
