Hi CCP!

I have a small complaint. I don't like that everyone is spamming eachother with very small amount of bounty. Now everyone has Wanted signs on them. It's cool that people have a bounty on them, but the wanted sign used to say, hey watch out this character might be a little more dangerous and you should be careful with this person. Now all [wanted] means, in my oppinion, is that some noob spammed a 100k bounty on him as a joke.

I am not a killer, and I've never killed anyone, I don't really like that I now have the same title as people with -10 standing, or large bounties that mean something. Also, I feel bad for the hardcore pirates. The people of note who have bounties that mean something. They should be the ones wearing the bounty sign. Not 95% of the entire player base.

It's not a big deal, but in every society, wanted means something drastic. Can you please keep it that way in EVE?

I suggest that the wanted sign isn't shown unless a bounty over 100 million is issued. I'd also like to discuss ways players can reduce or eliminate their own bounties, but I don't have any ideas. I just don't like the idea that I now am "wanted" for 100k for the rest of my Eve Career or until I die.

Thanks for reading everyone please don't increase my bounty just to troll me but I know you will but I will take that punishment in hope that I can make a difference and better EVE online Big smile

People will tire of putting small bounties after awhile, and those who have them now will explode eventually.

Now all the pro players DON'T have wanted signs, like me.

Awaits bounties.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

I'd go so far as to say it's usually the new players who won't have bounties only because they die so much the bounties fall off.

"New players" and "die so much" in one sentence does not compute.
Those who are zipping null in tackling Rifters on day one, this statement may be tru for them, but I doubt they will have bounties on their head in such an environement in the first place.

OT: Not that this sign had any meaning before. Except some people used it to promote their club, well, you know those...

Imagine checking a whole blob to make sure all of them have bounties.

The novelty of spamming 100k isk bounties will wear off quickly and frankly I really like the idea that you can bounty anyone now.

The only thing sec status indicates is how aggressive you are in attacking people in low sec (though less so after the changes to crimewatch). There are tons of people that pull **** moves that would embarrass your average -10.0 pirate while they still had a sec status of 5.0, additionally high security status is no guarantee it's safe to sit beside the person outside of high sec. So I like that you can now bounty people for any reason at all even if they just make you very angry. Don't get me wrong I'm never going to put up my cash so that someone else will kill you or anyone else. If I get mad enough to care I'll kill the person myself so putting up a bounty would just be me paying myself for a job well done. Not sure how this would even happen since I never take pvp in this game personally, just like you don't take being tackled in football personally.

So don't feel bad for having a bounty as neither it nor your security status are ever really indicative of who you are or how you play, aside from the aforementioned aggression in low sec.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

Sorry, let me give my definition of new player.

A player who is experienced enough to play in null, but not enough to fully understand it, so dies as a result of miscalculations and mistakes on their part* that could have been avoided had the player had the experience to identify and determine accurately all variables of the situation, and successfully calculate the best course of action.Shocked

Honestly, the bigger problem is that the old wanted sign looked significantly cooler and like the guy actually had a bounty on his head. Now it looks like a fabulously magical space bounty with neon-lights, and it makes me sad.

You mean the massive "WANTED" sign isn't a free fashion accessory for everyone, hell it is so common it should be standard on every portrait shot.Lol

I don't think small bounties should have a wanted sign. I think most of the bitterness will go away. I think Wanted should scaled and colored to the size of bounty.

Small yellow WANTED = a bounty over 500M isk
Medium orange WANTED = a bounty over 5B isk
Large red WANTED = a bounty over 50B isk

Corps
y = 5B
o = 50B
r = 500B

Alliances
y = 50B
o = 500B
r = 5T

There you go, now you have been spammed with a slightly higher bounty.
