It would be nice if a "Bounty" can only be placed on a player's head by (2) ways:

1. Concord can place a "Bounty" on a player if a player attacks, kill, pod, and steal from another player in High and Low sec.

2. Another player can place a "Bounty on someone head only if that player is attacked, killed, pod, or stole from in Null sec.

By having it this way, it will allow any player to be a bounty hunter without having to worry about concord blasting them away when they try to take down a player with a bounty on their head. Since concord placed the bounty, it give the player free will on other players with bounties.

And do away with the system now.

Posting a thread with the word "bounty" in it will not end well for the next 21 days.

Dammit.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

So I can't bounty someone for ninja mining, bumping me, salvaging my wrecks (Not loot but salvage), beating me to the objecting in a combat site, killing 'my' NPC's....
Need I list more things you have missed that I and many others would consider hostile actions at times and wish the aggressor killed yet do not come under your list of actions.
This was all argued right back when CCP changed the bounty system, go and read that thread and you will see why it is the way it is.

Your concord immune system is called killrights & already exists.

Don't you wish more of these people who complain about the bounty system had actually been around to play EVE during the terrible broken old bounty system?

Very true...
There have been improvement, but unfortunately another pass is needed to really foster bounty hunting as a profession..

I do not agree with the op about limiting how to place bounties to specific actions.

The only restriction I would support is that anyone can only place a bounty on a character that has earned more ISK in their life time they themselves have. The main reason would be to limit griefing versus newer players.

This new lifetime ISK earned data point should replace the current bounty value ranking, and having a bounty on your head should cost you a very smal percentage of this bounty value every time you dock, undock, use astargate, place a market order or sell something, or receive bounties.. I.e. An extra tax on anything that brings or use ISK from your wallet on to post stations and stargates use.
If you do not have ISK when docking,/undocking/using a star gate then the bounty board simply displays the last place you did not grease hand to dock/undock or use a stargate.

Having a bounty should have negative consequences, and not be worn as a ego boosting badge as it is now....

What about other types of wrongdoers, like corporate thiefs, awoxers, or someone who betrayed you?

you forgot "posting really terrible ideas on the forums".

Here's my perfect fix to bounty on players....

If you can get your revenge and kill them yourself (in game ofc) well then do it.

If not, let it go, let go (in comes the frozen soundtrack...) and not even deal with bounty.



If I bountied every player on cheap shot deaths and other misadventures I have had...I'd need to be rich lie chribba to cover them. Water under the bridge works here nice.
