EVE Information Portal

I think it should just be like a small individual war dec, that way boh parties get notification that they are 'at war' for the next week, so if they are stupid enuff to go out in thier frighter during the week then to bad, you wouldnt do this while war dec'd.



Can only do a bounty dec on people whom have bounty and it is a less cost then a war dec because it is against 1 person (or multiple if you delcare hunting multiple targets) coz really, if you dont like someone that was in a player corp you could just war dec the corp to get a peice of them.
But this if limited if you are in a small corp and they are large etc.


This way a player can be in a corp and have a bounty, a bounty hunter can declare intent to hunt them, if thier corp mates help them eg RR etc, then they will also become a legal target of bounty hunter (for 15minutes) (which strenghens CCPs 'about the company you keep')


Both parties get 24h notice so you cant just catch them in the shinny frieghter, and you can blow them up till your hearts content for a week or till thier bounty runs out (in this case hostilities cease straight away)

Did it occur to you someone might be trying to abuse it for scamming people?

Because you don't get kill rights in lowsec unless your pod is aggressed.

Guess CCP didn't cancel out old kill rights then... Since I have 3 on me all of them from agressing a neutral ship. yay.

Well the first reason there will be pvp in low sec would be to ... Oh I don't know... Kill the people with bounties on their heads (since that is indeed what you are crying about). Also, isn't a system that promotes conflict something that would encourage pvp? Honestly the only thing that I see in your post is crying about how CCP gave people tools to indirectly pvp (which pvp is indeed what you people have been crying about for quite a while).

I recommend you sell the kill rights at 50m + so you can make even more money.

The bounty system is bad.
Player C Carebear fly an industrial with cargo, and is killed by player P Pirate.
P takes 20M in loot, looses 5M in a small ship.
C looses 50M of his ship and cargo+ 10M extra to put a bounty on P.
P puts also 10M on C.
P has WON 20-5-10=5M
C has LOST 50+10=60M

P continue playing at PVP as normal even with the bounty, making money.
C can no longer use an industrial as a suicide attacker would make 10M(20% of 50)+20M(normal cargo dropped) loosing a small ship. He becomes a very good target. And not only he cannot play like before, but he also has lost a LOT.

I think that players should only be able to put bounties on players on which they have killrights.

Thank you Sir. This explains the 500 mil activation costs for Killrights on an Ibis floating outside Jita 4-4. The new scam.

Yeah, what she said.



Actually what I'd like to know is how can some assh....., er, character with negative security status be able to place a 100 mill bounty on my character that has +5.85 security status?

I worked long and hard to get that status which shows I'm a law abiding citizen of this community. Now it doesn't mean jackshit anymore. Thanks a lot.

Due to the continuous hunting / attacks by players looking to collect bounty pay and since the bounty payout is only 20% of said bounty based on ship / equipment loss or whatever the hell it is, my game play will now be constantly interrupted and no longer fun.

I am not a happy camper at all. I'm tired of people trying to force me to play this game their way. I did not join this game expressly for PvP, Factional Warfare, Corp/Alliance wars or to be a Pirate. I had plenty of that action from playing the mmo game - Dark Space. I joined this game to be an engineer doing exploration, invention and production while being able to travel anywhere at any time.

This whole bounty system is nothing more than an open invitation to grief players out of this game. Especially since a player in a large corp/alliance, due to having a much larger wallet, can constantly keep placing and or raising a bounty on a smaller player/corp/alliance, as well as entice or get more hunters in action.

Lately the past few expansions have done nothing except take large steps towards Eve Online becoming Grief Online.

Yeah, this is Correct. I think the common misconception here is that a Bounty = You did something bad. This is not true. The Bounty system is open because it acts as a form of enticement towards your demise. I.E. I someone ticks you off, you can now raise the Enticement for someone to take action against said person. Did you get scammed? Well you won't get a Killright for that, but now you can put ISK on their head so maybe one day they'll get War Decced, caught in unsecure space, or flat out Suicide ganked cause that guy caused enough grief on others that the pooled bounty on his head made it worth it for someone to take action for you.

Bounties = Retribution; now I know I've seen that word used somewhere just recently
