Leave the wanted sign for those with less than -5 sec status to indicate that they are outlaws. Outlaws like that sort of thing.

What relevance do NPC standings have, with a player driven standing bounty system?

Sec status isn't an NPC standing.

The question has no relevance. Its a 'wanted' sign. The new bounty system does not hinge, rise, or fall based on a wanted sign.

The Wanted sign traditionally has been a symbol of 'Yar!!!' in Eve for over 9 years. I'm in favor of keeping that tradition. Keep the 'Wanted' a status symbol for the outlaws. Its one of the cool trophy's that outlaws have.

The wanted sign has always been about a player wanting another player to be wanted. Even in the past, we had + sec players with wanted signs. Just because you mine and or have a positive NPC rating, doesn't mean that some player will not want you wanted.

This change is the best move CCP have made in a long time and helps drive more boat violence.

I disagree, the current assocciation of wanted signs with bounty is perfectly acceptable.

Think for a second about what that sign actually means, not what you want it to mean. It simply means someone somewhere is willing to pay isk to see you lose assets, doesn't matter if you see yourself as a 'good' or 'bad' person, wanted sign = payment for this person repeatedly exploding and thats it.

I just hate the new look of the Wanted-sign. Don't care how many/few that has it, but you wonder a bit why CCP put some effort into the character creation process, when they later on put in a sign that blocks 30% of what you've made. Not to mention it looks like a sign a child had painted for a protest sign at a PTA-meeting.

I will agree with this however. The new sign sucks chubby.

I just think that the wanted sign was always a cool symbol for those that accepted the way of the pirate. Most of the old wanted signs were placed by alts or corp mates for the cool look.

75% of high-sec carebears flying around with wanted signs is just cheesy and lame... as lame is would be if every ship got repainted with a big smiley face. Does change gameplay? No..... Is is cheesy? Yes, yes it is.

I've been told CCP players are immune to bounties. If this is true isn't it rather hypocritical of the CCP posters here to tell us not to be precious about having undeserved bounties placed on us when THEY are immune ?

The actual CCP characters are immune. When they're on those characters, they're doing their job, not playing the game. Their normal, actual player characters are anonymous and thus still just as prone to bounty as anyone.
