Jail might work, something like a timer on the character with some kind of limitation.
Being confined to the nearest NPC station for whatever amount the bounty paid for.
100K isk - 5 min?
1mill isk - 50 min
10 mill isk - 8,3 hours
100 mil isk - 3,5 days
1 bill isk - 1 month



I can completely understand having this thought - thoughts are hard to control - but failing to immediately recognize it as laughably infeasible nonsense is hard to excuse.


Boy, that suggestion really scared the sh;t out of you, huh? Lose skillpoints because somebody put a bounty on you. Now, that would make it meaningful, wouldn't it?


He seems to be quite a negative guy from what I can gather, I just blocked him since he can't
communicate with other people without baking some kind of insult into his reply it seems.

If you weren't an obvious forum alt, I'd be placing one too.

Do you have a reason for the removal of bounties beyond 'they're scurry!!!1', or are you just posting a thinly veiled rant thread over receiving one?


What exactly is "scurry!!!1' about player bounties? They are absolutely meaningless. There's no way you can capitalize on one that doesn't involve on the opposing player be absolutely stupid and AFK at the same time. They are a complete waste of time and energy and CCP gave up on the bounty system long ago. It was nothing short of a joke that they made an entire trailer about bounty hunting in EVE when no such profession exists in any shape or form. What a disgrace.

And you sir win the 'failing to understand EVE' award of today.
There are bounty hunters, they just don't use the bounty system but private arrangements through trusted third parties.
I.e. interactions directly with other players.

Citation needed. The best you can do is pay a merc corp to war dec someone who is in your way, and that only works as far as the structures the opposing corp possesses, because if they have none they'll simply disband to the noob corp and that's that. And if your beef is with the merc corps, welp, good luck with that. You can't exactly pay them to kill themselves.
