I got my first bounty today for popping an abandoned MTU.

Do we really want derelict junk cluttering our pristine universe?

I think I did the EVE community a favor. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

I won't let it keep me down. I'll continue clearing space trash wherever I find it.

Keep EVE beautiful!

Your work is just, necessary, and appreciated by the greater Eve community, even if not by the owner of that litter you found.

Its all about definition, You have a bounty on your head because you did something to someone else, hence you deserve the "WANTED" tag and corresponding bounty.

Here is where is falls apart, when someone places a bounty on another because they can. This is out right prejudice, placing a possibly innocent capsule-er at unnecessary risk through no fault of their own. Its desirable for some freighters, miners etc. to keep a low profile, having an unwanted label and financial incentive no matter how small (as for some it takes only a little excuse.) to get blown away is not good.

So here how it goes whats good for one is good for all and if this issue is not taken seriously then everyone should place a bounty and wanted on everyone they feel like, its bad enough having to deal with morons, but when you play a game to relax (yes relax) then being pulled into the ****** side of things just ruins the fun. because someone dosn't like the look of you.

Here is my solution.

The only time you should be able to place a bounty on another is when they have committed a suspect action against you. ( you have the time it takes for the suspect timer to run out to think about and place a bounty.) simple as.

If however you don't like someone then you should go through the 'Contracts and place an actual hit on someone' which morons can find in contracts.

Hence we have the distinction of both "good bounty hunters" and moron hitmen.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

rippletink, you seem to have missed the point so many brought up in all other bounty related threads you copy pasted that into.

Having a bounty puts you in no extra risk what so ever. All it currently serves as is a slight tip to all parties involved in killing someone and a notification tool for the one placing the bounty.

Happy MTU kill to OP - thanks for keeping space clean.

Get on Comms, or die typing.
