Of the many big subjects that the CSM is going to be discussing next week at the Summit in Iceland, this is one of those 'little things' that, with enough support, might actually happen in short order. This isn't something that needs or will get a lot of ~Summit time~, it's just an idea that was floated in casual conversation with CCP and I've not seen a single person say it was a bad idea yet. I mean, I can eve mail people out of game, why not show them some lethal affection as well? Twisted

So, thoughts?

Sure why not, us forum warriors need our ego's boosted too! Also what about showing the bounty of a person under the "Likes Received" area too?

Also it should say which post the bounty was put on for.

Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows.

Unnecessary clutter and one more useless feature to slow down already way too script heavy forums.


Hey! Just because it takes two or three seconds to type each character on an iOS device doesn't mean the forums are script heavy. No, it just means you have more time to consider your words carefully Lol


...yes but the fact is that these forums are script heavy. Look at the source.

After you add bounty information forums will check each poster in thread and send additional queries about posters current bounty situation, most likely also about bounty amounts and every time people add bounty more queries will be done to the database. This will increase the server load and slow down the forums even more.

As I edited in to my previous post this should, if absolutely needed, be done to character information page - not to main forums.

In other words at least the add bounty part of it should be part of eve gate - not the forums.

If something really has to be added to the forums "wanted" label over avatar images should be the absolute cap. Those can be done with single true/false query and can't be updated from forums itself.

Perfect idea to have others pin point who is missing in the 100,000isk bounty list. This bounty system would have been a good idea if it could only be directed to who deserved it. If you guys go ahead with this idea, it will ensure that every player in EvE will have a minimum of 100,000ISK bounty on their head and also slow down the posting on your forums to avoid being tagged with a bounty. Their are a great deal of perfectionists out there who will go mad having a WANTED tag over their avatar.

This game leaves people paranoid. All this will do is make the paranoia worse...

Maybe... that's the best path for GENERAL DISCUSSION.

EVE is cold, harsh, and full of cloaked ships with cynos and a titan&blob waiting for you around the next gate.

It's the EVEiest version of a dislike button that could ever happen, so it's pretty much a must.

Oh, and it would give them a reason to integrate the new bounty system with EVE gate properly so we can see bounties on profiles and have “wanted”-overlays on the (forum) images.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone not to read the OP or start trolling just for the hell of it. First page, congrats, m8!



So anything that goes against your suggestion you consider trolling...?

Whenever one request's for an opinion on some proposal one makes, one should expect that there may be some people that will not agree with it, the way you have replied to my opinion is to me what one could classify as trolling, you made an assumption, tagged me as a troll and did not add anything positive to the thread, maybe you should reflect a little on that next time.

Best regards.

Useless, by the time it gets implemented everybody had their third round of bounties applied already.

I'm okay with it as long as it shows as a subtle icon on the portrait and not the stupid big red bar that is now so prevalent across the face of portraits everywhere in game.

More hilarity would ensue if you could quickly notice if the character is wanted because of some ingame stuff or for shitposting.
Track ingame bounties and forum bounties seperately (secretly, on server side) .
If the ingame bounty is higher, the "wanted"-label will remain red.
Should the forum bounty exceed the ingame bounty, the "wanted" label will turn blue.

Where is that bounty button when you need it...

Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows.

isn't worth it. Trolls already use alts which basically do not play the game. Dislike button... sure why not, but place bounty won't have a big impact. (edit: just use the client for that)

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
