Reason: Placing ISK on someone will only increase his PVP, in fact what he is looking for, not give a new risk to him.


Instead, do not allow people to place a minimum ISK amount, but rather a standardized amount, to placed a general "Wanted" Status.

Wanted Level 6 - 1.0 Security Space - everybody can attack him - 200m ISK
Wanted Level 5 - 0.9 Security Space - everybody can attack him - 150m ISK
Wanted Level 4 - 0.8 Security Space - everybody can attack him - 100m ISK
Wanted Level 3 - 0.7 Security Space - everybody can attack him - 50m ISK
Wanted Level 2 - 0.6 Security Space - everybody can attack him - 25m ISK
Wanted Level 1 - 0.5 Security Space - everybody can attack him - 15m ISK


Now that is a real bounty system.


While being wanted, everybody can attack you up to that security space, and it will go off until you lose that amount of ISK equal to your lose, just as the current bounty system


EDIT:
If the ISK looks so easy, why don't develop the system further to make it "community driven",

yeah, i'd just put 200m bounties on random miners and watch them squeal when they realize they can be attacked anywhere

Not a bad idea to be honest, paying 200m for a head that might have a ship of 100m ship will develop a loyalty and behave system.

This could also develop real "organizations" like corporations willing give real "Defense services"

You do know bounties do not equal kill rights? Another "leet pvper" looking for easy kills.

not really, because if I put, say, 400m on a random mackinaw miner i'd be able to go through a dozen of his mackinaws before i have to top up his bounty again

The idea is to make them be Kill Rights, with a standardized amount of ISK as a price.
Isn't eve RISK vs Reward?

400m is not cheap, it's almost 1 month of playing time PLEX.

What about develop the mechanism further while, the more frequent you put bounties on person, it becomes more expensive, decreasing with the time, to avoid this "random" bounty placing

The bounty system is a player led mechanic, so linking it to NPC security systems is rather daft.

This would eliminate all blingy mission runner or incursion fits. It would also shut down all freighter use forever. On top of that, it would shut down most PvE in lower-security hisec systems. It would also flood the forums with rage about hisec being unsafe, and probably get Chribba's veldnaught destroyed.

All this in. One. Fell. Swoop.

Consider the broader consequences of ideas you propose.
