How do you relate the value of Fedos to the value of PLEX?

Well the important points to get clear currently are:

Defining asset est.value
Defining illegal/legal bounty placement

Defining and liquidating est.value can be done by making PLEX the standard guideline for measuring bounty value.
Defining bounty placement depends on where to draw to line, it has no benefit of exploitation.

Problem solved



Asset value and PLEX prices are determined though player actions on the market. You've solved nothing.

Really, they weren't kidding when they said learn the game.


Well it is a game that allows these elements, don't interchange game play with game mechanics. There should always be ways for players to undermine mechanics through game play. The aim of this system is that players can't simply use an alternative character to collect the bounty. Therefore making exploitation less feasible, however the direction CCP took with the current bounty system is quite shy. This is most likely a wait&see approach.

You have to understand though, and I'm sure you agree it might be beneficial to work on this together. Rather than imposing it can't be done.


That system is already in place....you numbnuts.


Unless you are willing to blow up assets worth 5 times the value of your bounty with an alt, but anybody with the IQ higher then a slug doesn't do that.


So, you are trying to fix something that isn't broken....Shocked

Let me give you 2 tips:


* Read up on how payments based on market values + market manipulations can EASILY be exploited to hell (also known as Jita 4-4 among capsuleers) and back.

* Read up on how sec status works and how binding a bounty to a sec status did not work in the past, and thus won't work in the present or future (actually, with Tag-4-Sec it would work even worse then before).

Just posting to confirm what kane & co. have repeatedly said: This is an awful idea that has no idea how game mechanics work, or how determined players would be to utterly break them. And the proposed system would be easily broken.

Again, read the tales about the goons abusing FW.

Forum rules

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.



Nope.

Closed.
