Haven't seen him since.

Moral of the story being that the guy put too small a bounty on you.

Same thing happened to me, although a bit less dramatically. Sold some killright for a guy who was part of a 20 man gang who held me in space just so everyone could whore on the mail, and it was only a Vengeance, I got the notification, saw the kill and was pleased to find that his loss was more than mine.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

As a total carebear who likes mining and making things who, up until last week was about to give up on this game because I felt that I would never be able to get revenge against all those who have wronged me (check my kill board, there is been a few).

I took a good look into this and rubbed my dirty miners hands together.

At last a way I can get my own back.

So today I sold my kill rights, all of them, and a few hours after doing so, a notification popped up saying a kill right had been completed.

I checked the kill boards.

My loss, 50m, their loss, 58m.

Victory.

Shortly after members of the pirate corp, threatened to come and find me and kill me. My simple reply, I have deep pockets, for every kill you make on me: I will add as a bounty on your corp, every kill right: I will sell.

I cant fight you, but others can and you will have to lose 5 x my loss for wronging me.

I swear, I could almost taste the pirate tears... Or is that carebear tears?

Now I understand why all them pirates for all these years complained so loudly as soon as there was any threat to their power. It was now time for them to feel like victims.

I have not once, in all of my game time in eve, felt like I had actually "won". I felt like the beaten up bottom of the pile pesant that gets kicked around all fhe time. I didnt make this kill, but it felt like I did and it felt good.

So much so I sent the people on the kill mail a thankyou email and some extra ISK with encouragement to keep up the good work.

Oh revenge is so sweet.

Thank you CCP for allowing carebears to encourage the pew pew in others.


Hum, your story sounds vaguely familiar to one that happened earlier today for my corp. Was it us? If so ill get that kill mail posted.

I just hope that the pirates are not as bearish at heart as the carebears always claim, and that they do continue their evil ways despite the new consequences. Else we will see a drop in murderous crime in EVE which would be very sad and bad for the game.

A real pirate will go on. Pirate

I mean, what consequence can stop you i.e. to gank a freighter worth several billion? Blink

I will double my efforts and plan to suicidekill in a Vindicator.
I would although require a little deposit of ISK to cover my expenses. You will get it back with interest of course. Two billion ISK may just be sufficient for starters.

I too support an initiative for this. Also, can we get the wanted message on our forum icons like we have in game?

You could always get them back before because like 99% of them are outlaws.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

If I could place a bounty through the forums I would literally run out of money within a day.

Please do this CCP.


We talked about this at the game design morning meeting today. I'm not sure we'll do it, but it's definitely in the back of our heads. Personally, I'd love to have it in :) It's like an actual, meanginful, neg rep button Cool

Anyway, thanks for sharing your story OP, that's exactly what the system was built for.

Please provide proof for this because if it's true it's a major flaw in the game.

Since you get only 20% of the assumed worth of the destroyed ship in bounty, you'd need to kill yourself in a ship the game thinks is worth 2.5 billion ISK.

You said that the actual price of your ship was only a tenth of the profit, so you are claiming that you paid 50 million ISK for a ship that the game lists as being worth 2.5b ISK.

Yes, I would indeed like to see proof for this. You have already made a video of it, so please share the link?

I don't need to post proof because on these forums, we trust what people say without it.

You sound so mad right now because your "wolf in sheep's clothing" which you keep mentioning in every pve-related thread didn't come out as you imagined it to be in your head.

So uh, lets see that video of yours, until you post it you are just ****posting.

I'll take this as confirmation that the devs are officially considering this. You might as well implement it - it's not like people who don't like what you have to say aren't placing bounties on people already. This happened to me earlier - might as well just make it a button push in the forums so they don't have to switch to the client.
