If you have a serious grievance with someone and would like to place a bounty anonymously, Discreet Bounties can help you.

this is not about "lousy 100k bounty"
this is about big red mark WANTED Shocked

However, this reaction is little funny.

As having been someone on the receiving end of the OP, I promptly turned around and spread the love in my NPC-Corp channel.

In return, I got myself a 50 Mil ISK bounty and, shortly thereafter, this mail:

yo

From: xxxx
To: Michelle Devereux

Hey, I accidently added 50 milions instead of 500k xD. How do you withdraw a bounty :) ?


I am not whining about it, in fact I think it hilarious and the new bounty system is awesome.
Guess I will log on my dodixie alt and donate a few millions to OP to continue his good work Cool

100k ISK to get laid?

That's cheaper than the friendly ladies who hang around Kings Cross station!

Solution for unwanted bounties: join a Ganked roam (there is one this saturday), get popped & podded and make some null/lowseccer a bit richer in the process. Everybody wins!

If CCP had any integrity they would warn new players about what kind of community they are getting into before they sign up, but I have a feeling that level of honesty might eventually bankrupt a company that only releases a new video game once a decade.


Have you seen the advertising for this game? The general ruthlessness, asshattery, jerkwaddery and assorted inventive nastiness of the game's community isn't just warned about: It's CCP's preferred advertising strategy! The legendary assorted scams, corp thefts and intrigue are the precise reason why a lot of people were drawn to the game in the first place.

Hell, the current flash adverts for the game invite you to "be the hero villain"

You can't say you weren't warned: you join in EVE's reindeer games, you play by EVE's reindeer rules.

You have been warned.



Well i know player that ws harashed vigorously and ccp did nothing to it. So why should new players deserve better treatment? Acording to eula (i actually have read it) its not harasment if you dont go personal and harash same player over and over again.... And even then ccp dont care Twisted

Seems time to go put some bounties then...

LOL why should anyone care about bounties they get randomly? I got one docking in Jita for like 100k. At most, I was disappointed it wasn't more.

Bwahahaha, this thread cracks me up.

I logged in with a 20 mil bounty and a big wanted sign on my avi. A sense of pride rushed over me and I got this tinglely feeling down there... you know.

<~~~~Looks way better on a wanted poster.

I know 20 mil isn't really much. It's just the thought that I made someone mad enough to throw away what little bit of isk they had just so I can be annoyed by newbs who can't figure out that they are not gonna get much if they 'xplodes my ships.

So you should fit right in, then.

I can kind of understand it from a role playing perspective though, if they've been enjoying having a high and improving sec status, it ruins that 'image' to have a big wanted plastered on their portrait.

But the hate mail is the fun part! Can you forward the hatemail to us so we can laugh at it? Maybe you could charge for that service, too...

@OP:
Hatemail happens. Perhaps strip them of identity and post them on a blog? Don't be stingy!

Why strip the identity ? I for one would like to know who they are.

Yes really. The bounty I place on someone is about my standings towards them, all other standings are irrelevant.
