Perhaps Retribution is the start of the end of EVE.

Here's how I interpret the new bounty hunting system:

You place a bounty on someone - anyone - perhaps a guy that accidently bumped you. The same second you've placed your bounty on the pilot, he/she is a valid target for anyone to shoot and kill.

Or lets say you just scanned another pilots ship and you like the contents of his ship. So you place a bounty on him and now you're free to shoot him down and take whatever modules survive.

Or you place a bounty on a corporation or perhaps an alliance - just because you think they have stupid names or come from a certain country. No more wardec. Bounty on and kill for free.

Is this how it's ment to be? Because if this is the case, CCP has just ruined EVE for everyone.

I hope you guys have thought this through.


It is my understanding that regardless of the bounty status their sec status still takes precedence. What I mean is if a 5.0 sec status pilot has a bounty on him and he is in high-sec you can't freely shoot him. However you can search to see if there are kill rights out against him and if there are you can purchase them on the fly in space and then make him a target to shoot without concord action.

crime watch 2.0 is spot on so far as for the bounty sys if it is used by rich null sec vet players take down carebears
then sub is droped if it is used with crime watch to make the gankgers pay sub is payed it is that easy

real money lost by game from high sec carebears hurts. Carebears know it and ccp knows it
ganking too much will all ways end up costing game too much money nothing you say next about what i say will
make the game +14.95 are -14.95 up to the devs



as for gankers crying when they run a play style in to the ground then cry when game has to try and fix it . Has been done in all pvp games this is not any diff

as for me i not logging for the 1 week after patch see how it gos will check the forums for updatesShocked



i all ready droped sub wait 2 are 3 weeks see if the new stuff is buggy no point in being a target if crime watch and bounty sys have loop holes in them

From the devblog:

Quote:
You can track bounties you’ve placed on other players, seeing how much has been paid out. You’re also notified if a player you’ve placed a bounty on is killed.


How can I track my bounties paid for an alliance? There's no notifications, no kill reports, and no record in the bounty office window except that the amount of ISK I have placed on that alliance.
