*reads OP's thrilling story*
I suggest next time you use a Miasmos, you can fit a nice tank and have some warp core stabs in the lows in case it turns out to be a trap.
Also, fewer trips to make.
There is nothing quite like the feeling of watching an enraged carebear not only place bounty on you, but run off and get his Navy Brutix and then scream in local about how he wants to fight you.
And that, my children, is when you undock the t3 murderboat..;)
Everything in EVE is a trap. And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:) You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

Seems that statement also pertains to your story as well, especially since nobody can confirm it's validity. 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. Actually the whole story does indeed sound 'Too good to be true'.
And yes it is about numbers and more importantly it's about boosting your ego / epeen. If not then you wouldn't have bothered to even post the thread.

Bounties are a scam by CCP, set up to remove ISK from the wallets of noobs. However, non-noobs can place a bounty on true-noobs to enter the bonus room for a chance to make a true-noob rage-quit the game. Either way its just CCP trolling noobs. |

Something even more meaningless than bounties is kill rights on people with -10 sec status. Either people will shoot at them or run away from them. |

Where's the fun in that. No. Only newbies place bountys, this necessitates newbie asplosions. Wannabe missioner gankers also place bounties if their intended target does not step into the trap. Especially if said missioner rather toys with the wannabe ganker, wasting his time. But you are right - bounties tell usually tale of someone fuming for reason or another. They are like tears with numerical value. As my old maths teacher used to say: "Statistics are like bikinis: It's what they don't show that's interesting". -CCP Aporia |

OP: As you say, he'll never get you. SO, he won't lose the bounty money. As your first response says, he put a nice red, noob-favorite "W A N T E D" on your pretty little face. Like you said. It's stupid. Anyone with any sense has already left town. |

Bounties are only effective as a form of griefing. Some players simply do not want a WANTED sign in front of their face.

Please not this again.
Some people simply do not want to get shot in Halo multiplayer either so I guess that makes it griefing. GÇ£Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.GÇ¥ - Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen, Pithum Nullifier Training Manual c. YC104 |

I was in Khanid Prime earlier today, someone had lost a cruiser in a war dec, right on the station undock point. I docked up, got a hauler, undocked and pulled all the loot from the wreck, docked up and traded it to the guy who owned the wreck. I didn't look to see what it was, I couldn't tell you what it was worth. I don't know, it wasn't mine.
I don't like to steal either, so I don't.
The point here is, if you feel guilty about stealing the guys Ore, contract it back to him. If you want a permission slip to do it, you don't need one in EVE. It's how the game works but it's on you. |

I used to enjoy placing bounties on lots of players, 100k isk, not to grief, but to cheaply () inform them that other players out there can interact with them, whether they want it or not. I got a lot of mails from guys asking me why I did it. Most often, I just explained that it was just some fun. One such player that mailed me, ended up getting 50 million isk from me, because I really liked him and wanted to help him out.
Now it's not a severe method of interacting with a player really. But despite my civility in the process, I quickly became aware that many players would be quick to call me all sorts of things. Really bad things.
Now I get my point across another way. I gank stuff instead! I still maintain my civil approach, and I still get mad cases where people like to harass me, but it's cool. I play a game, and I treat it as a game. Fun stuff.
I guess I am just saying, that those who think that bounties are there to scare new players are misguided. Lots can come from it. I've helped countless numbers of players with all sorts of things, and such interaction began with a fun 100k isk bounty.
Bounties are cool, even if seemingly useless at first sight. Oh, and last night I made 500 million isk from some dude who thought he'd be able to profit from a deal to share my bounty with me Was a fun scam.
At the end of the day, it's content. I don't see why some people are making such a fuss about it! |

EvE is a game of choices.
His choice was to put a bounty on me, and because that i've choosen to keep the ore. |

If you dont like stealing...then don't. I would have done exactly what he did, bountyied you just in the slim chance that you would care. But I have a better story. I stepped into a friends public chat room and asked if one of his alts was on. Some one said that he was waiting on me to s--- h-- d---. I told him to shove off and BOOM, 100 million isk bounty on me. I'm a carebear miner running around with a 100 mill isk bounty on my face. I didnt care after I realized that bounties mean nothing in this game, but I did get alot of questions when I tried to get into a new corp. It was kinda like having athletes foot...not fatal, mostly ignorable, but occasionally annoying. |

One time I tried to enter a corp for awoxing purposes. The CEO was really concerned about my bounty. I insisted that it meant nothing, and that anybody could have a bounty.
I then placed 100k on his head to prove my point, hoping he would learn that having a bounty did not mean you were necessarily a bad person, because anybody could have one, including him!
The rage that ensued was worrying

If you do a lot of PVP bounties will boost your income but surely other factors decide whether you are going to attack another player ? It has no practical use other than saying well done. See, you didn't know you had a problem until I solved it. |
