I've probably logged into this toon, maybe three times since I created it. I went in to change her looks, and found a 100k bounty on her head. LOL I've never, EVER, undocked this toon. If It weren't for the fact that I was gonna change her appearance, I never would have seen it. Made me laugh. I must've really pissed that guy off in the forums. LOL

A succesful mechanic is working as intended. Did you thought that the empires would forgive and forget your betrayal? Bear

I believe what I needed was a bounty. I like it. Big smile

It's kinda pointless to place bounties on nullsec players. Unless your angle is to annoy my enemies by sending them bounty notifications in the middle of a firefight.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

You could have done it in the time it took to make that post.

To OP: That guy bountied me and when I said it covered up my tattoo (as a joke) he responded with "Oh, you think its a broken mechanic now do you, suddenly when you've got a bounty its not fair." I think he thinks bounties are actually meaningful.

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

It's a popular joke in starter systems. Fun to watch the new guys get all upset in local. Also, sorts out the noobs from the alts.

Instead of bounties, can't you just put out a contract to have someone killed?

No, I can see dead cats for free.


The whole bounty system is pointless until you get in the billions anyway, I got a bounty on me just for talking in Scope and all that it's done is create an eyesore on my picture. No one is going to risk it killing you for only a measly few million.

It's fun to see noobs rage about it thoughLol

Fixed that for you.

Bounties, in the large majority of cases, don't offer sufficient incentive as a means of earning ISK -- which means most people have better things to do with their game time.

Awesome, isn't it?

Same as putting a bait can in space to make them flagged and go boom on the past...

(sarcasm off)

@ ACE McFACE - I really don't know what is bothering you that much to make you send me ingame mails and keep posting about this here and there, it's the value of the bounty? We can fix that for you.

I remember my first bounty. I undocked one of my toons from Rens.

Yep.

Good times.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

That's easy. Find out what your target's favourite ship is, put out a personal ad that you wanna see that ship on a killmail and offer a billion or two for their corpse. Just put it in your bio or your corp description, link your own or corp name in chat here and there, and see if anyone bites. Or, find a specific corp who will get the job done.

Got mine from right here on the forums. Half a billion because someone was cranky I was disagreeing with them Pirate

As mentioned, bounties are pointless if you're null sec. Arrow
