As i see a lot of disapointment in bounty hunting here is a suggestion on how to improve it:
1. Kill rights market. A person puts up his kill rights. But instead selling it he actually buys services of bounty hunter. Contract would be similar to freight. Price set upon termination and time limit given. In case of fail kill funds returned to KR owner. Can be 0 isk contract if not much hate.
2. BH allowed to get KR only once per week for single person. To avoid alt problem. If person manages to camp find and accept the contract which can be put on random time.
3. BH allowed max 5 KR at time based on skill ( yes new skill)

There are a lot things could go from here, such as bounty hunters corp for service like red frog freight. Bounty office track and trace, info provided by concord such as travel route of last 5 days.

Sky is the limit and this is just from top of my head. CCP please use imagination. I want BH a viable profession and not just "oh look a guy with kill rights, lets try and shoot him".

Strongly agree in principle - hunting is a cool piece of the sandbox. Put yourselves, CCP, in the mindset of the hunter/killer and think cool thoughts.
