Fat chance of that ever happening, little twerp.

The more vocal you are, the more bounties you will get. Word of advice: Lay low, and don't be vocal about things.

Your pathetic bounty is meaningless.

Oh don't you worry mister Icefluxor. You can just consider yourself permabountied, along with all of your alts. I'll be checking in on you at least once a week to keep those babies topped off when people suicide gank you into submission. Luckily for everyone, you are defiant, and easily goaded into bleating.

So should I go with

"Please MR youaredumb, don't put any more bounties on me:("

or maybe

"You dirty slinking scum, hiding behind an obvious alt, people like you are a bane on this wonderful game, your actions are obviously griefing and so I will petition your useless alt immediately, bloody coward"

Begging or tears? Lol


I can't say so I added 10 m just because (I am not rich). Oops

Yeeee!

Seriously though joking aside I have no idea what to do in EVE right now. So I am just planning to join RvB again and am grinding ISK.
I used to get those moments, just don't right now due to RL stuff.

Kamio, the New Order of Highsec's home system has lots of bot-aspirant afk miners just waiting for bounties and the inevitable catalysts that follow.

Well one person told me they were going to come to my house and sodomize me.. another wished i'd die in a fire.. for a lousy 100k bounty i'd say thats a BIT of an over reaction.


Depending on the person and the situation some would consider that a "plus", not me personally, butt there are some that do... har har har... punny.

You might want to put a "disclaimer" on your bio as to your sharing the "wanted" feeling of the holidays with every eve player as no one should be un-loved or un-wanted... I did, and I have only gotten two "apparently not everyone reads these days - SURPRISE?!?!... haha" - people who had issues, however they quickly understood it was a "gift bounty" sent with love.

Apparently you don't either.


Sure I do: it's an a$$hat without the "I was really drunk" excuse.

Not even close.

Milking the cyber bully meme by applying it to inappropriate situations has been done to death, at this point it just makes you look ignorant.

Well, I bet the reason for that is because hardly anyone of the people you have put a bounty on have actually wronged you in any way. It's very likely you haven't even seen them in EVE at all. But you added a minimum bounty of 100k ISK. The old system was not working at all, so it's good that CCP changed it, and I'm sure that it will work for selected players in low and null-sec.

But you also pointed out the stupidity of the new system. Bounties are now completely meaningless, save for the ones exceeding the hundreds of millions. But 100k ISK? No one in high-sec is going to gank someone for that bounty. So it will stay with them for the rest of their life if they remain in high-sec.

CCP made a nice dev blog about it and players warned them this would happen, but Punkturis said
CCP Punkturis wrote:


I believe (I have faith!) that people will mostly be putting bounties on people that annoy them, not just random people in local..


Right, so how is that faith working out for you, Punkturis? Congratulations, you just turned a broken system into a meaningless one. Oh and don't tell me you want to wait first and see how it evolves like you said earlier today. If you really think this new bounty system would be so incredibly awesome, then why are players that put bounties on newcomers banned, mmm? Don't get me wrong, I fully agree with it being the case, but your new system makes as much sense as a weather forecast predicting snow in the summer.



I still don't see anything to back up your assertion that the system isn't working as intended.

We all know how this is going to go... for the first week or so people will act like a kid in a candy store. During that time those that get carried away and insist on tagging brand new characters will get nailed, and possibly force CCP to put a minimum age requirement on this system (which is a bit of a shame as it opens the door to some minor exploits, but not really an issue).

After that it either becomes too expensive or simply too boring to keep it up, and in the meantime people have a little bit more incentive to get aggressive with each other... and others have an excellent tool to use wealth to settle differences instead of PVP prowress (which is as it should be).

In case you missed the memo this fits into the basic theme of the EvE universe perfectly.

As with all new MMO mechanics, I'd expect people to abuse the living crap of a mechanic until it eventually dies down and people only use them in wardecs and the such. I don't think people will be able to indefinitely post 1Mil bounties on everyone and anyone that comes across them for a very long time. Trolls will be bountied on by bountiees, will get bigger bounties over time, and their actions will get them hunted down, eventually.

If I've learned someting over the years in EVE though, is that this game always finds new and creative ways to blindside my expectations. Only time will tell.
