I am being bullied off Eve by a person who has taken offence at catty remarks I made on local chat. Each time I get the bounty removed it is replaced. This is stopping me playing the game. The Eve management dont seem to care about this treatment of me. I am not the only player this is happening to.

I have read and understand all the penalties for misuse of this forum and respect them but players are being subjected to abuse in game and it goes unchecked, ignored and seemingly almost condoned.

Are there any other players who feel the same or have had some form of abuse directed at themselves?

It's not abuse. It's a feature. I am now going to place bounty on your head. Twisted

Oh yeah... getting a bounty does not mean that anyone can "legally" kill you in high-sec... unless you are at war with said person or he/she has aggro rights on you.

Let them.

Log in an alt and claim their moniez until they run out. Its like them giving you their stuff and not rage quitting...

For serious.

Except you only get a return of 20ish% of your loss.... Coupled with insurance you still won't come out in the positive. Bounties are garuanteed to inflict economic damage on an opponent now.... which is a good thing..

*note: There might be some items you can buy cheap enough to "boost" your return rate... but none exist that I'm aware of at the moment...

Also, have you tried apologizing for your remarks? I think this is good social pressure....

Finally.... why do you care if you have a bounty on you? Can you please provide an example of how it negatively impacts your game play?

You can only claim the bounty when you kill someone's ship... the bounty paid is based on 20% of the destroyed ship's value. That means you can never claim your own bounty in one go unless you kill yourself in something expensive enough... making it not worthwhile to kill yourself with an alt.

How did you Veterans start?

Doesn't it require a person to have done something "officially" (read: Concord standards) wrong for a bounty to even be possible .. or did the sages in Iceland remove that nagging common sense rule?

If nothing has to go before a bounty is placed then it will degenerate into a griefing tool with decade old carebears that has never fired a shot at a person having the biggest pools around .. hell, wouldn't be surprised if the suicide gankers organize into a Murder Inc. type thing, all chip in and make it a sport to see who can get the most bounties in a given time frame.

sounds like a troll wanting bounty to me but seriously, it's an in game mechanic. Don't make catty remarks and you wont get a bounty.

I'd like to point out.... Bad guys put hits out on good guys... which could also be called a bounty.... So why should bounties be limited to lower sec status plaeyrs?

HAHAHAAAA, you were being a 'tard' in local chat and someone took offense and bountied you.... Maybe you should appologize and stop being a Di*K in local chat.

I also have a snealy suspicion that you are trolling for more bounties, but as there is a chance that you are really crying on the forums to get gamewide rules changed to suit your own playstyle, then I continue to laugh in your general direction!

I need to test this bounty system out and you've just made yourself a better candidate than Xenuria.

You live in highsec, how is having a bounty impacting your play at all?


You do realize that just because you have a bounty you're not in any more or less danger than you were before the bounty was placed, and that the bounty itself doesn't give anybody the right to shoot you.

I've been placing bounties on anyone and everyone I see in Jita, Help and Recruitment channel. Not because I hate them but rather because it's cheap and funny. When everyone is wanted, then the bounty system is a meaningless red flag for recruiters.

We were all in Hisec once upon a time.

Rule 1 : Don't smack local to the bigger kids. You wouldn't do it in the playground without getting a S&^%kicking so why would you think it would be any different in the sandbox?

You smack talked and as a result people put a bounty on you. That is not abuse, that is a working-as-intended feature. Man up and face the consequences instead of tearspamming.
