First of all, you dear reader hoping to find a post about to remove the bounty off me, a rant about how unfair it is to get a bounty on or where I show on the doll the spot the bad pilot touched me, I shatter them instantly.
Tonight, while trying to find a good spot to perform my bear, high sec activities, I go scout a belt in my home system, a high sec isolated place I use to mine while writing at the pc. However tonight I wasn't alone, someone was mining in a covetor.
Usually I would have left him alone, knowing that probably it was a bot, but suddenly something so stupid came to my attention, something so incredibly stupid that was too good to be true. I know the basic rule of EvE that says "if something is too good to be true, it probably is", but I couldn't resist. This person was jettisoning his cargo into a giant freighter container, and there, in front me, was a gigantic can, full of ores ready to be taken. By me, and my skiff.
I approached the can, got a full haul, and flew back to my pos. Four times. After a bit I get a blinking mail message from concord, saying this person has placed a bounty on me. Said bounty far exceeded what I've taken from him, and this made me smile.
I decided to write him an in game mail, thanking him for the gesture, and his answer was another bounty of the same size of the first, effectively doubling it.
This person quadrupled his loss by placing a bounty on me, a bounty no one will ever cash in as everybody should know that you have to kill 5 times the value of the bounty to cancel it completely. And for the record, killing an industrial alt that sometimes undock in a tanked skiff to mine 10 minutes a week or to move BPC from the design lab to the assembly array of the very same pos is a true perfect storm and said person deserve a slice of the bounty on my head.
Now I wont lose my sleep over me getting a bounty on my head because... what's the point, and that's I'm asking to the community, what's point in the bounty system? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
P.s. I admit I don't like stealing, if this person asked his ore back I would have given them back. Strangely he preferred to rage at me by placing a bounty. |

Bounties put a nice WANTED sign on your face. That's about it. Also pisses off noobs go "OMG BOUNT13S RAWR I WARDEK U!" whilst simultaneously petitioning CCP to ban you. |

It might be, but wouldn't have been more logic to stop the losses by not placing the bounty and simply learn from the error? |

Can flipping is not dead. Before CODE. came out with the bland idea of ganking miners, there was the can flipping.
I had my can flipped back when I start this game, I got angry, I didn't place any bounty on said can flipper. Instead I bought on my other account a hauler. Much more meaningful. |

Look, I hate stealing, and I would have given everything back if he asked me. He preferred placing a double bounty.
Also the bounty is not on this toon, this is a "professional forum alt". |

You could also just pay someone to bounty you like all the cool kids do. Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. |

There's nothing too good to be true in this story, I flipped a can, taking 35mil worth of ores, and got 100mil bounty on me. These numbers are very small and nothing to brag about. This story is not about numbers, and it's something that happened to me, and wished to share. I'm not asking to believe me.

People are dumb.
For instance, I have a modest bounty on me. 20 or 30 million, I think.
Thing is, how dumb do you have to be to put a bounty on a forum alt? Probably about as dumb as the people that have war decced me, I guess.

I once had a 50 mil bounty for a while before losing a ship, and it dropped to 43 something. The next person to place one on me very carefully calculated it so my total would add up to 50 mil again. Made me smile. www.ensignyooch.wordpress.com
