Time to log in and place some more bounties it seems.
Some people just dont see it means nothing and have to learn the harder way.


If you're going to bounty Gizznitt then that's priceless, it really is. If ever a bounty was totally pointless its that as it will make ZERO difference to him.

Gave me a good laugh (which I needed) so thanks for that Lol


For some reason I don't tend to keep bounties very long.... Maybe a really big bounty will last!!!!

I was doing a L3 yesterday. Someone came in and started stealing my stuff and i shot him. A T2 logi warped in, not that he really needed help to kill me, i'm what? 11 days now? So he kills me, ask for ransom, i refuse, pods me... I block him and then he bounties me for 123,456 isk.

The part where i die is my fault for shooting at him in the first place. But this bounty... People keep telling me it's no big deal and not to worry about it but it's completely killing my immersion here. I consider people with a bounty like perpetrators, not victims. It only makes sense.

So my question is this, it used to be you could only bounty criminals or low sec status players. Why would anyone need to bounty a high sec status player? Also is there such a thing as bounty greifing?


Honey, baby doll, dearest gallente cutie. It's not the 123K bounty that should concern you. It's the 100,000,000 bounty i might put on you this evening when i get home that should concern you. I like to do that for kicks Big smile

I put bounties on random passersby who fly any sort of industrial ship, from Badger Mk Is to Rhea Jump Freighters. "Why?" you might ask? I'll tell you:

1) It changes your background in my overview to black. I want to paint it all black.
2) Because, more often than not, it causes the person who received the (100k lol) bounty to go all RAYGFASE!!! and send me a nasty evemail (or counter bounty me for many, many times what I put on them). I then take that nasty eve mail, and post it on a forum for others to see, where we all then continue to put bounties on the poor little pilot until they get the hint and stop.

A bounty doesn't allow anyone to shoot you. It simply means, if they shoot you, they get paid. A big enough bounty will tempt someone to do so. Most small bounties won't.

You claim it breaks your immersion? Well, Cameron here has an unreasoning hatred of all industrial pilots, and wants them ALL dead. So, there, reason #3.

My suggestion, make an alt, let them kill you in a noob ship, collect part of the bounty and repeat till its gone. Tat way the bounty is gone and you made 123456 isk.

Rookie Ships are not worth anthing(as they don't have a bill of materials) so they won't be substracted from the bounty. 20% of 0 is 0.

The killer would be in the rookie ship, not the victim.

Eve is a bad game for you, then. Literally everything is player-driven and interconnected, so similarly literally everything is PvP. By mission running, you're increasing the isk supply and thus making other people's isk less valuable through inflation, this is more than enough reason to harass mission runners as it legitimately hurts other people/weakens their competitive advantage.

I'll send you a 100k bounty when I log in tonight?

Will that help?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

No need. The OP put a 10 mil bounty on my head in retaliation. I feel special now. Lol

Think of a bounty as a popularity rating.

The higher your bounty the more people like you.


That is how I look at mine. I also like to think I'm helping the poorer players everytime I undock, I will most likely die, they will most likely gain a little income, pretty much win all the way arounnd.
