Come Retribution, how will having a bounty on your mining character effect your mining? Will it change how or if you mine?

I'm just curious how the new bounty system might effect mining in high sec.

In addition to bumping, come Retribution we will start placing bounties on any miners refusing to buy a mining permit.

It will effect mining by the uneccessary server load of miners rushing to the forums en masse to spill their tears upon it.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Who are these mystical people that are going to put large enough bounties on miners to matter? You know a bounty doesn't give people kill rights, right?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I am aware of how kill rights work.

My question is specific, not general. I am asking that if you as a high sec miner get a substantial bounty on your mining character, how will this effect your high sec mining? I'm not really talking about every miner in EvE getting a bounty.

No but it will make ganking profitable.

OH NOES.... Did I just say that out aloud?

Now the only question is, how large shall the bounties be? After all, bumping has been such a profitable venture thus far, I'm sure we can splurge a bit.

That does it. 500 mil ISK bounties it is.

Miners will mine themselves for your bounty.

Hop in a shuttle, gank with an alt, profit. Lol

How does one get one of these 500mil bounties anyway?

I think you should place a "triple bounty" on me, because assuming you dont mean the chocolate bar (i hate coconut) then I'd love to see how much money you waste on me.You, like most players on EVE-O forums lately, are out of kilter in your thinking compared to the reality of most situtions. At best your suggestions lack reasoning and at worst I suspect you make bad suggestions on purpose. If I had to give advice to yourself or any of the other bad posters with bad ideas out there it would be to clue yourself up on game mechanics and actually take part in what you're talking about before suggesting changes,

lolz. No bounty. Everything you said made sense.

Except for what you said after "I think"....

If people are stupid enough to bounty me, I will farm it off. If they bounty ships I actually fly, they can try and blow them up.

Excellent idea! In order to collect that bounty by killing your own shuttles, you'll need to kill about 170,000 of them.

Lets all put bounties on each other and see who can figure out, which ship is the best to use, to get the best return back, when killing yourself, with your alt. Is there a best ship to use?
Because it's 20% of the ship value? Doesn't really sound like it'd be easy to remove the bounty yourself.

Do you really want to waste isk on a bounty that you probably wont be able to get back? You'll just be giving isk to other people. I guess a corporation could make a game of it. CEO places a bounty on a miner and the first in the corp to kill that miner gets the bounty. If the CEO kills the miner, he'll just get his own isk back. If he places more than 20% of the value of the ship on as bounty, I don't think he'll get it back. (Edit: I mean the amount of isk over 20% of the value of the ship.)

They're in the process of writting up the multiple threads that they'll be posting on Dec. 4th demanding CCP nerf the bounty system so that only they can use it to stop the evil bumpers.

Considering that retribution doesn't introduce any new ways to collect the bounties placed on people I sincerely doubt that it will have any kind of meaningful effect on how miners behave.

Can you explain this further please.

That's a genuine request; not being a smart ass.


What exactly do you mean by "new ways to collect the bounty"?

You need to read the memo: old bounties re paid in full when you pod the target. New bounties are paid out as a proportion of the value of the ship the target loses. That is a new way to collect the bounty.
