Echoes Infinitum 10
Denize Echoes Infinitum Likes received: 10	#1 - 2012-12-05 13:28:17 UTC 2 As i understand from the new bounty system, cargo is included in loss. Could i just go manipulate the quiet market regions with some of the rare items and push them to really silly prices, and then just kill myself with those in cargo to increase payout? Like worthless stuff worth a billion in a frigate and have alt kill it.

If the item drops, it dosen't count towards the bounty payout. Only destroyed items would so I suppose you could although you'd have to hope the loot fairy doesn't decide to give you 100% drops

I used to have a clever sig but I lost it.

What I mean is that if they dont want this to happen, change it so loot is not accounted for. Exploits happen due to lazyness. Bob Artis, you will be missed. O7

They said they have "super secret" formula for countering a repeat of the FW fiasco with the Bounty system. I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license.
