Just unsub for 3 months and it will be refunded to the guys who put it on you. Feel free to start a second account to keep playing while the first one cools down, and once they send you a come back offer, take it and play for 10 euros a month. It's a win-win situation!

If you got his route: When you unsub the unsub page asks you why. Be sure to give the reason as "wanting to clear an unwanted bounty".

Another note: When you get blown up the bounty payout is based on the "Pend Insurance value" of what got blown up. As far as I know there is no way of finding this value for any item other than blowing it up. Its not the market value, and its been made resistant to manipulation. But.....

There are ebbs and flows in the market, prices climb and fall all on their own without the need for you to manipulate them. Thus there are items that, at times, can be bought well under the Pend insurance estimate. Find such items, load them in your ship, and get a corp mate to pop you. I have made a (pathetically small) profit this way. No I'm not telling you what items. They change week to week, so do your research. Also you can usually make far more money re-selling the same items.


The bounty is 133 million, I planned to get rid of it with the help of a friend.

I simply don't like being an attention whore and getting huge bounties on my head, nor do I like bounty hunting. It's not my thing.

Regarding your post, are you saying I should fit really expensive modules on my ship and let a friend blow it up?

He's saying that you should find an item that sells on the market for 20% of what it's worth according to the algorithm that calculates loot value, and then fill your ship with that and get blown up, thereby making the bounty payout be larger than the money you spent on the items…

…but good luck finding one that is fit for purpose.

What we're saying is that you should ignore bounties because they are in the hands of far too many people to be something worth worrying about.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Some people seem to get really worked up about this.

A corpmate of mine today asked me to duel and kill him ("not the pod!") because his bounty was too high.

I happily obliged. But I'm still scratching my head about it.

Literally no one in this game save the biggest mouth-breathing morons gives even the slightest **** about any sized bounty. And I can make 15 million isk in about two minutes. It's not a lot of money.

And the next time I log in I'm adding 10m to your bounty.

i think, it's safe to say, that posting in GD isn't a good way to reduce your bounty.

Hey! I can breathe through my nose just fine, and I give a fourstar about my bounty… it's still not higher than the top-bountied corps in the game! Cry

Greetings folks, I'm in confusion here.

Today I was playing EVE as usual, and in the local channel a person gave some salvaging offer or whatever nearby. I told him I don't trust him since he had 12 million of a bounty on his head.

So another person comes in and tells me it doesn't matter, I reply by saying that he must've done something to get a bounty that high.

Anyway, the second guy doesn't like my reply and places 55 Million on my head. I asked him why and he replied "It's hilarious" even though I didn't reply with anger, swearing or anything.

I reentered the channel just some minutes later and everyone started shouting "There he is! Everyone bounty Alex!" so now I got 58 Million, maybe higher on my head for no reason. Never asked for it to begin with. But that's not the issue.

How do I lose this bounty? I just started the game and it's frustrating to know that people will want to suicide gank me maybe or do something. If I seem stupid here, sorry but I need help.

My friend says to just make a new character but I don't think that's a good choice.

Thank you.



I got a 13 billion bounty for chatting in the mining chat weeee!

You should buy a bunch of cheap T1 fit frigats and get some easy PVP pratice in by using the duel function.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Not crying what so ever, I just don't like getting attention. The bounty bothers me no longer. But for whatever reason you feel like insulting me .. Well I don't know.

Alexander. You have played Eve for one week and you are already one of the most wanted men in the Galaxy. People could suicide gank you for a year and profit from it. Bounty hunters will be after you once you move up to higher quality ships


If I was you. I would use this as a springboard into piracy. You can't live in high sec with that bounty.

Getting that big a market deviation may be real hard. I was lucky and CCP adjusted the item soon after I used it. It is their intent that you cannot make a profit off a bounty. But even if the item is 80% of the Pend insurance value you will save some isk. Example:

To get rid of a 100 million worth of bounty you need to destroy 500 million worth of stuff. In exchange you get 100 million back, resulting in a net loss of 400 mil. But if you can find those 500 million worth of items for 400 million, then you only lose 300 mil.

What items? Do missions. Sell the loot at Jita. Any item that sells for well under the estimated value in the inventory window set aside. Get a noob ship, place the item in it and get blown up. Repeat as needed if it drops instead of being destroyed. It helps if you got several of the same item and divide them up into separate stacks as there is then a better chance one will get destroyed. Note the bounty payout to get the Pend insurance value. Do the math. Is it a good item? If so place buy orders for it at Jita and collect a bunch.

Or just accept that bounties are meaningless and move on. If a person I placed bounties on started doing this much work to lose it. I would find out that it actually bothered him and put even more on him.


The person placing the bount is informed when parts of it is claimed after all.

One of the most wanted? I don't think so.

Nobody has bothered me this far, in hisec or close to lowsec. I won't become a pirate just because of some random bounty spam on me.

Most people I bump into have a decent bounty or higher than me, so quite honestly it can't be that big of a deal.

I can lose my bounty if I wanted to in warfare, one of the EVE University members told me once I join EVE University I will lose it at the speed of light. Apparently they're wardecced constantly.

And if people want to come after me in Hisec, so be it. There is CONCORD and there is also all of the money I have in my wallet to replace my normal loadout atleast 90 times.

Dear OP ... i must advise you not to listen to most of these people,
because they have no idea what they are talking about.

Like ... people telling you that your bounty doesn't make a difference.

It does, trust me.
If i see you with 83 Million ISK bounty, i'll try to blow you up
and then try get your pod too. I just need to see you at the right time
at the right place and you're mine. And i don't actually care if it's profitable or not,
i just do it because you're there.


All those morons in this thread telling you that it doesn't matter,
or that pods don't give bounty ... hahahahaha, trust me, they do.
I know better, because i shoot them.

Listen to me. I know wtf i am talking about,
because i *do* what i'm talking about.

Your bounty will more likely get you killed.
The higher, the better. It lowers the bar.

If i see a guy in a hauler, vulnerable, i shoot him and see if he pops.
If i see a guy in a hauler, vulnerable and with bounty, i make *sure* he pops.
And his pod, of course.

Same goes for a frigate. Destroyers. Pods.
Low skilled genius in a cruiser ? Dies too.


And your last post just stinks from ignorance. You've listened to the wrong people in this thread.
It only takes ONE guy to make your life miserable all day long and coming up with crap like
"all of the money i have in wallet to replace my blabla" will just attract them, to relieve you from your money.

The voices of many outnumber your argument, and so does my personal experience.

As much as I want to belive that it will do something, it hasn't done anything to me. If anything I've made more friends and they've actualy mined with/for me and given me millions.

If you are a bounty hunter, that's cool. EVE has a place for every type of gameplay style welcome. It's a big Universe.

I'm not ignorant because I genuinely was worried from the begining, now not so much.

On my alt I placed a 1million bounty on someone because they stated that only criminals get bounties, my reasoning being that their misunderstanding of the bounty system was criminal. They then placed a 5million bounty on me replying "right back at you". They then asked how you get rid of bounties, then had a bit of a fit about it. Not as good as some of the 100k bounties I have placed on people but enough to mean I got my million isk's worth.

Bounties mean even less under the new system than they did in the previous system. Wear them with pride instead as people usually only see the wanted label and not the price tag associated with it.
