I haven't checked but can you cancel them? If you can then CCP should change that immediately.

I think I am doing something wrong.

Mine has not raised above 320mil yet.

So i was wondering who i needed to bounty. Look no further than this thread. I see 3-4 people that I've already bountied in here crying like little babies. Amazing.

Actually the best revenge is making sure your Bounty does not ever go away. That means you are winning.

The more vocal you are, the more bounties you will get. Word of advice: Lay low, and don't be vocal about things.

Oh don't you worry mister Icefluxor. You can just consider yourself permabountied, along with all of your alts. I'll be checking in on you at least once a week to keep those babies topped off when people suicide gank you into submission. Luckily for everyone, you are defiant, and easily goaded into bleating.

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
CCP Punkturis wrote:


I believe (I have faith!) that people will mostly be putting bounties on people that annoy them, not just random people in local..


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.




I put a bounty on 129 alliance members and counting.

Hello and thank you for your 250 mill bounty.

Only question I have is why use a faceless alt?

You should charge a couple millions for forwarding the hate mail.

Regarding the OP, count me in with 20m; unfortunately, I haven't been able to get myself to play the game for a few weeks now, so I don't think I'll be part of the slaughterfest (damn you PlanetSide 2!).

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I'm one of the receivers of the OP's... love and honestly, i don't care much other than a "really?" kind of reaction. This is all ofcourse a direct result of CCP not understanding their own game and its players, 100k minimum is a silly low amount (probably a "one day old char should be able to placed a bounty" nonsense reasoning), resulting in bounties becoming meaningless and dumb. Minimum amount should be set to like 5 mil making it slightly more interesting and less lulzy.

No. I can't remember the exact thread, but CCP Punkturis made it quite clear that bounties cannot be withdrawn.

So should I go with

"Please MR youaredumb, don't put any more bounties on me:("

or maybe

"You dirty slinking scum, hiding behind an obvious alt, people like you are a bane on this wonderful game, your actions are obviously griefing and so I will petition your useless alt immediately, bloody coward"

Begging or tears? Lol

I've not yet thrown any bounties out bud. Just give me the nod, if that's what you want. Big smile

I would prefer the money upfront, or in a brown paper bag, maybe the classic sack with a dollar sign.

Seriously though joking aside I have no idea what to do in EVE right now. So I am just planning to join RvB again and am grinding ISK.

What I have fit out.

1 Armageddon
2 Dominix
4 HAM refit Drakes
1 Prophecy Lasers cause I'm crazy
1 Cyclone needs ASB Refit
1 Ferox needs ASB Refit
5 Thorax
5 Vexor
5 Rupture
3 Moa
3 Caracal
3 Omen
3 Maller
3 Arbitrator
Bunch of Frigates specially Tristans

What I need.

3 Hurricane
2 or 3 other BC's
Bunch of new destroyers when the price calms

I know I already have a lot of ships but I am a variety nut. Just not sure if I will find RvB as fun this time around. The PvP is always the same blob of Cruisers and Frigates that is when the FC doesn't call Frigs only which is boring.

My new Battleship fleet will be seeing a lot of dust. Sad
