More, please. I have like ten alts, for starters, and that doesn't even equal my highest bounty. I mean, is 30 million all that a "T2 BPO" can muster? I assure you, however, that you could empty your wallet and I would not "cry". Cool

The current system to me, feels realistic in the context that we are all functionally demigods. I mean, yeah, in real life you get the full bounty if you bring back enough of the head (which, for some history, is where the concept of the "double tap" came from), but then again we aren't guaranteed to be reborn a few minutes later in real life either.

Since you cried so much I made the bounty ten times my first offer. Does that work for you? We can do more if needed. Why don't you list all your alts and let the public see how much sack you really have? I'd be happy to drop that much on each of them.

For reference, ladies and gentlemen, he did actually put a 300 mil bounty on my head. All of this for merely saying I was going to put a bounty on him when I got home from work(apparently this is grievously offensive and disrespectful, by the way), and for some slight goading over evemails.

This guy is a gem, folks. Considering reposting this in C&P just for the righteous outrage at the inevitable results.

I went ahead and put 666,666 isk on his head though. Wouldn't anyone to confuse him for a wuss who can't back up what he says, after all.

Heh, I please to aim. I'm just wondering how much more isk it will cost him to realize that bounties are a point of pride amongst those who walk the left hand path.

Oh so in other words, you are one of the butthurt pvprs and are cool with the system because you can exploit it in your favor.

Hey, if you have not noticed yet, once you log in you are consenting to pvp. In other words, any one logging is a "pvp'r"

By logging in and paying for your game time, you are accepting the rules and conditions of the game.

There is no exploit if everyone is under the same rules and conditions as everyone else.

Being a special snowflake does not give you a pass, either here on the forums or in game.

Enjoy your day and give me your stuff, you are doing it wrong any way.

There is nothing encouraging for any kind of debate here when players are spamming condescending remarks and blatantly trying to harass my character in-game via the bounty system.

As far as placing bounties on someone being any kind of badge of "respect" is complete nonsense. I highly doubt those who continue to waste isk by adding bounties on my character in-game are trying to show respect for my opinion.

Here is the official statement by CCP last year on player harassment after the fanfest:

"I want to reassure you that CCP in no way condones the harassment of players..."

I have played EVE for over ten years and will continue to not be idle about the recent bounty system changes. Regardless of the insistent trolling by a vocal minority, bounties based on forum posts are childish, not validly based on CCP's own bounty purpose statements and certainly not encouragement for players to post future posts.

Your comparing (note: an action!) of your bounty ingame to Mittani's drunken and rather inexcusable action offends me deeply. To express my displeasure at your action, I have increased your bounty.

See? Action -> bounty. Straight forward enough, eh?

*laughs softly* I like this answer.

My bounty currently is 39 612 223 ISK. I have it now for a long time. I would say I nourish it, because I got it from someone I respect in game. However, I do not fear troll bounty, I do not get attacked for it or anything else. There is no real effect for it.
Of course I am living currently with my clan in Minamatar space. So in High sec, Bounty is not worth much without being a suspect, criminal or an active kill right.

Take others for example. My favorite Example is here Karl Strane, who has earned a solid ganker reputation, with a big bounty stack. However, you will hardly be able to earn the bounty since he flew as long as I saw him fast locking destroyers, worth only a small faction. And the payed bounty is payed on the base the ship you fly, not the bounty you have.

If something should be changed by Concord it is that if you got caught in the middle of something serious like being a suspect or Criminal or a kill right as been applied to you a multiplier should get active to get a nice portion of the bounty set on you.
I believe that this would benefit the bounty system and would be in favor on the opener speaker since you need to do something.

Maybe it would be also nice to "buy" a kill right. the higher the bounty the lower the price. But maybe the potential for abuse is to serious for some?

As of now, I take bounty raise on my head as expression of likes.

Hope I'm not late to the party, put on 1 mill to see if I can get a decent bounty out of him. T2 BPOs should get me at least 100 mill, right?

Sorry to spoil the parade of 6's, Kaarous. Maybe we get can get 5 mill more on him to fix that.

On an amusing note, this guy is apparently now in the CFC.

Good things come to those that wait.

I guess he's finally admitting that the current bounty system is a good thing. v0v

i have read most of the posts and agree with most of you that the current bounty system is good as far as abuse goes. But im a new player and i still think there is alot of room for improvement. for example bounty payout isnt anywhere near high enough to warrant an actual profession. i dislike that and here are a few suggestions i think could work for both sides (pirates and bounty makers)

- make a way to create bounty contracts. Have the bounty hunters searchable/hireable (either by the bounty hunter picking up the contract or the poster seeking the hunter). Once found have certain info available like the hunters kill frequency (a high frequency should suggest an alt/ friend) contract conditions like who keeps cargo, minimum isk amount for kill and pod kill, and maybe any notes the poster may wish to add. there are several useful things that can be put into a contract if this is a rout worth exploring.

-im not sure how kill rights work but maybe add a way to have the bounty hunters to target SOME of the peaple with bounties in high sec like buying for a kill right on a person if they have several high bounties placed on them from several different players. (stops people from placing several low bounties on one person). this would help kepp a ballance for those who regularly offend/criminalize people and those who dont.

-the current system kind of works it stops people with alts from attacking themselves for profit and helps keep everyone happy by not having the bounty diminish overtime they are there cause someone got mad and wants to pay someone to have revenge which is why i think there should be something ON TOP OF the current system to satisfy those who place bounties and want them collected. personally i placed a bounty on someone and im not happy with the result no one realy cares if they have a bounty, i think thats wrong unless they want to be the #1 most wanted which is something to boast about, but should be hard to keep.

omg, this thread is still active. and mags is still here??? Yup, forum troll. Whatever floats your boat though. Might as well add another penny.

I have not played for weeks. An just got a 100 Mil bounty from a player I have never met. " Action -> Bounty", Fine. Inaction -> Bounty. Not Fine... (though I laugh at the fool wasting 100 mil isk)

And you people using my thread to joke around and try to get bounties is out of line. If you want bounties, get back in the game and earn them. Additionally, I propse that any member of CSM who post something as stupid (or equally as stupid) as "put a bounty button on the forums next to the like button should be removed from office without question.

So. Concord, the entity that goes around flagging people for criminal and suspect status, blows people out the sky for shooting at me in highsec, the so called 'police'. Will take money from anyone, pirate or non-pirate. Completly free of charge, with a minimum amouny absolutly anyone can afford. And had over cash to anyone who causes them loss. What happened to "Concord Punishes they don't protect"?

This sounds like protection to me.

Awaits additional bounty... Whatever. Idiots.
