I would, I'd get a series of restraining orders placed ..... like now.

At the very least buy yourself a taser.

CCP seriously you are going to allow people to be griefed out of the game and you support that? WTF are you mental or something?

Anyone can put 50 mill, 100mill or whatever bounty on a person, as much as they like, so that they just get constantly shot at by anyone and everyone...

What are you drinking?

So which part is out of game ? All this means is that your ingame actions can have some consequences. Bounties are fun.

You guys should probably wait for the official Dev blog before panicking and jumping to conclusions. Reading the EVE news article, some things are very strangely written, other things are very off the mark and seem to have been taken completely out of context for what Soundwave will have explained.
The dev blog Is written, and is ready to be released very soon.

Obviously that's not going to be it. It would be "griefing" if you have only one account, otherwise it's charity.

Wait I have to start posting with my alt now?

But the writing would still be in Italics so people would still know its me. Plus there's the problem of my alt being call Sync's Alt. Hmm, if not for the fact I'm -10 and can get shot all day anyways I might have cared.

However if you're not a well mannered losec dwelling space pilots who recycles ships for the sake of the enviroment. Mostly without the owners permission but gotta save the trees and what not. You can always just move into Empire. Concord still comes riding in to save you if you in empire.

Bounty paid upon death yes. Unwanted PVP flag in empire... No. Nowhere did they say bounty = legal target. Bounty = Cherry on top = X% from total in line with Ship lost.

So it's not like all the ice miners can slap a bounty on bumpy Mc Talk a lot and sudden warp in pvp ships and have free rein. Otherwise no ****** would undock cause as soon as you did some ass hat station/gate camper would slap a bounty on you for easy kills.

I honestly can't believe it needed a thread to explain that fact. CCP just spend months reworking Crime-watch. Common sense and taking just three seconds could have stopped half the people in here panicking.

What is more interesting too me, is Weekend Ganker's that come to losec for funs, Kill some people and then rat alittle to return to empire. Suddenly Rental Of Kill Rights begans and Weekend Warrior becomes weekday hunted.

Hmm.

Don't ask about Italics, just tilt your head.

Finally bounties and kill rights are going to get some love. Sounds like it'll be fun.

Unless they're changing it, putting a bounty on an individual requires them to be negative sec status btw.

The suggestion we've seen is that the bounty payment you'll receive will be directly linked to the value of the ship your target loses.

As in a fraction of it. So you can't make a profit.

I think "griefed out of the game" is meant more in terms of, players will be griefed so hard that they leave the game and don't come back.

Can't wait for the dev blog though. Will be interesting to see if there's anything special about kill rights on bounty targets, or if it just makes them more appealing to highsec gank even if you get concorded afterwards.

Hmm this looks mighty interesting.

On the other hand, if there is no profit to be had, why would a stranger go after a bounty in the first place? If the only result is that the bounty person loses something and the bounty hunter gains very little, nothing would happen.

The profit to be had is in blowing up the other guy. If you're not paying for his ship (as you would be, if he's an alt), then you make a profit. If you have to pay for his ship, then you won't make a profit.
