Jita Park Speakers Corner

For PvP and like to encourage more of it? Or perhaps you are an industrialist with a specific focus in game not directly concerned with PvP skilling to be effective at your role and therefore ineffective to apply teeth in response to criminal activities?

Want to validate a potential Career path in ≡v≡ with new income potential that is ideally designed as simply a transferance of ISK from one pilot to another?

Actually like situations where ships shoot back and "really" improve your KB resume as opposed to simply suprising soft industrial targets?

You agree that pilots should adapt to challenging situations in ≡v≡ where acceptance of risk is an everyday seperator of those getting ahead on the curve, criminals included, to ensure the game evolves instead of being kept dumbed down?

Or simply want to make ≡v≡ less boring with adding more fun and challenging gameplay elements?

Would like to see CCP finally correct a long standing broken mechanic in the game (2003) which at best provides an exploit for the effected criminal party to profit further from and yet has been left in the game still?

"It's going to be awesome."

"It's absolutley on the list of things to do."

"We have a spaceships game, but you can't be han solo or boba fett, that's not clever."

I fully agree that current implementation hardly makes sense and needs to be changed.

That said, the stuff proposed looks a bit complicated and by definition bounty hunting is derivative of pirating. Pirating isn't that viable as a profession and thus bounty hunting won't be lucrative either.

I guess some are mistaken here by the digits shown as bounty - those were collected for years and should someone claim them, it's unlikely they'll recover any time soon. Someone needs to keep dumping isk into the system and I don't see anyone sane doing it for long

It's worth discussing, though. I might be missing something, too. Have never really thought much about bounty hunting, tbqh.

The Bounty Hunting idea has been discussed by CSM with CCP (both Malcanis' post and an earlier one by Ogopogo Mu. We are in general agreement that a revision to the current mechanics along these sort of lines is a good thing, and have encouraged CCP to consider it.

Just another example of your CSM Tax ISK at work...

I spent a few hours discussing this exact proposal with CCP and other CSMs on Skype. I support it, and I urged CCP to implement similar mechanics.

Having played other games that had excellent and well thought out bounty systems (such as the recently deceased Star Wars Galaxies), and having started my life in EVE as a smuggler (another system that needs some love to go along with bounty hunting), I would definitely want to make sure that a system was implemented for this that could not be easily abused, held player interest over time, was a sufficient time sink, and stayed true to the vision and lore of EVE Online.

CONFRIMIGN LIK MAN OTHRE YOU NEFER TO ASKIGN MINTROLIO,

...As such I would point the CSM candidates to this useful topic created by Malcanis: Bounty hunting - let's get this sorted. ....
