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

Thanks! :)

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 :)


It's the circle... the circle of Eve.

Or is that carebear tears?

The bounty system is not nearly enough to keep us from feasting on the tears of your kind.

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

We talked about this at the game design morning meeting today. I'm not sure we'll do it, but it's definitely in the back of our heads. Personally, I'd love to have it in :) It's like an actual, meanginful, neg rep button Cool

Anyway, thanks for sharing your story OP, that's exactly what the system was built for.


The idea would only promote alt posting, which is the last thing the Eve forums need.

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!


Link to the vid or it didn't happen. -.-

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Why should I have to post proof, when the OP doesn't?

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Because you made a specific claim regarding the issue being discussed, when you do such a thing the onus is then on you to provide proof of your assertation. But hey we all know you wont do it because you're full of crap so carry on digging yourself deeper.

And before you start QQing about the OP again all he said was how using the system made him feel, you're the one who starting throwng numbers around.

Destiny, if I had pulled something like that off, I'd be spamming the video wherever I couldd purely for e-peen purposes.

The fact that you're not suggests the that whole story is a steaming pile of buttered bollocks.
