A dislike button that adds a bounty to a player? I like the idea. I like it even better if the button somehow shows just how much of a bounty that player has incurred due to the dislikes of the post.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

A dislike option is a good idea, actually it should have been implemented from the very first day.

What is the point, Forum alts who never log into EVE gaining bounties?

pointless isk-sink much?

No, just give us a 'dislike' button. Hell, just copy reddits style of 'karma' while you're at it

Change the topic to "Would you like an 'Add Bounty' button in Eve gate ?" already. Forums still are not a bounty office.

Get classic forum style - custom videos to captains quarters screen

Play with the best - die like the rest

We need an add bounty button so people can be punished for stupidity.

Or ****posting.

Or being awarded 1/10. (really, we need to set the bar higher)

And because I think it'll be funny as hell to have someone hit me with a bounty so people will go out of their way to eliminate my talos stockpile.

Yes but in-game bounty should be distinguishable from forum bounties so that people know that the bounty has been placed as a result of something they have said on the forums.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

I see an influx of crap forum alts attempting to wrack up bounties to be taken by their mains. Either way I think it'd be an entertaining feature.

Probably.

But itd wind up being like mining. how many noobships do you need to recieve the 20% hull bounty to rake in that 100 mil payout?

Only mining is more profitable.

I do not understand how people do not yet understand that there is literally no way that you can profit by claiming your alt's bounty.

As for the idea; yes. I would love to be able to put bounties on people from the forums.

Maybe I don't fully understand the bounty system but it still seems you could claim an alts bounty using friends or a separate account since lots of people do have both.

Yes and ideally it should say on the post how many bounties have been placed using that button.

E.g.

"Character has recieved 1,000,000,000ISK in bounties for this post"

You can claim the bounty with an alt. You can't do it profitably, though, since the bounty payout is a maximum of 20% of the cost of the ship that the bountied person lost.

If you're flying a 100mill ISK ship, and you blow it up with an alt; you get 20mill, and lose 100mill. That's a loss of 80mill. Not profitable.

I liked your post but I'm not sure, we might see an invasion of trolls looking to get their bounties increased...

Why are you not prepared to place a bounty on forum alts?


Seeing as how forum posts have often had ramifications in game anyway, I find the potential irony of a bad posting forum alt having the highest bounty in EVE to be quite amusing. CoolCoolCool

It woudl be nice to at least be able to see the other characters attached to that account.

I would agree with the alt thing, putting a bounty on a bad posting alt is kid of silly, it's one of the reasons they use alts.

"Having" a bounty isn't really useful, if it's not possible to collect on it. Dumping huge amouts of isk into the bounty system and then having a bunch of it attached to characters that never actually log into the game seems like a gross waste of the entire bounty system.

EVE is supposed to be about consequences, and a bounty on a character that is never in space or in game, is not a consequence.

And while it sounds nice an all, the only real effect such a button would have is causing even more trolling. GD forums are bad enough as it is. It's not difficult to write down a name and just put the bounty on them when you log in next.


Not to mention,
I made a post not long ago asking CCP FIX THE FORUM, so that my posts aren't wiped when I hit post, forcing me to reload my post from the saved draft, and then edit it so that it's not a giant wall of tex, because it takes me longer to write things out now.

It would be nice if you guys asked them to fix the forum first.

I also have to agree with the guy who mentioned the point of the CSM members. I think I'd rather you guys pushed CCP to putNEW content in the game, instead of asking them to worry about silly little forum buttons that will ultimately have no real in game impact as it'll just be people using the forums and bounty system to see who can be the biggest troll in EVE.

Not only should we have this, it should also show how much was added in response to a given post.
