EVE General Discussion

I am up over 400mil spent on bounties so far and am prepared to spend 1-3bilion to make sure this system goes down in flames.

If it wasn't so GD laggy more people would have bounties by now.

Well, I bet the reason for that is because hardly anyone of the people you have put a bounty on have actually wronged you in any way. It's very likely you haven't even seen them in EVE at all. But you added a minimum bounty of 100k ISK. The old system was not working at all, so it's good that CCP changed it, and I'm sure that it will work for selected players in low and null-sec.

But you also pointed out the stupidity of the new system. Bounties are now completely meaningless, save for the ones exceeding the hundreds of millions. But 100k ISK? No one in high-sec is going to gank someone for that bounty. So it will stay with them for the rest of their life if they remain in high-sec.

CCP made a nice dev blog about it and players warned them this would happen, but Punkturis said

Right, so how is that faith working out for you, Punkturis? Congratulations, you just turned a broken system into a meaningless one. Oh and don't tell me you want to wait first and see how it evolves like you said earlier today. If you really think this new bounty system would be so incredibly awesome, then why are players that put bounties on newcomers banned, mmm? Don't get me wrong, I fully agree with it being the case, but your new system makes as much sense as a weather forecast predicting snow in the summer.

Whats absolutely hilarious about the whole system is that people who PVP regularly will eventually have their bounties take. The 5.0 sec carebears that have never left highsec will end up keeping theirs much longer.

Future CCP policy: As long as someone stays in an NPC corp, they are considered "new" and any action against them will be considered griefing.

In this game those are more love letters than hate mail.



If the player had any intelligence they would do a little research into the game they are about to pay for, and they can quickly see what this community is like.



Then its just fun.




To be fair she was obviously drunk when she wrote that, so you can't really hold her to it.

Well why were you handing out bounties? Kicks and giggles? You're making them even better targets

I personally don't like the fact that you can put bounties on anyone for any reason. I intend to illustrate absurdity being absurd.

Burn the whole system down!!!

Fair enough, but remember that CCP's mantra for this expansion is "Freedom of Consequence", so it probably wont be long until you've got a sizable price.

If you read her posts at around the same time, then you can see she was definitely not that. It's just something that shows what a different view Punkturis has on her playerbase.

Set your CSPA charge.

How much is them venting worth to them?
How much can they afford?

You want to set it just right to get max profit. Too low and you are selling yourself short, but too high and they won't do it.
