You could say the exact same thing if buying the killright made CONCORD instantly arrive and blow up their ship, but that doesn't mean the consequences are good for the game.

I don't generally keep mental track of people's viewpoints on things. Some people are easier to remember than others. I'm sorry to say you're not one of them. Don't take it personally. :P

Fixed.

Some things are unrealistic do too game mechanics, others try to get it closer too realism.

Again there is ample justification to go either way. Why is one way better then the other?

Not good for the game, or not good for you personally?

New currency added.
Blood isk. Its only a % displayed in your wallet.
Its no more worthwhile than normal isk, and its counted with normal isk. But its ill-gotten tainted isk.

Its only use is to be recirculated into the market and eventually spread though any and all hands. Much like some small bills in your wallet could have been in a strippers woohah a month ago. Well this money was used to murder a target not get a lap dance... that's a different WIS currency.

This threadnaught might help refresh your memory.

Seriously or is this an idea stated as fact... ?

You tell me. I'm not the one trying to make it so that CONCORD nullifies player bounty payouts.

Sure. Bounties should be retaliatory, Assassination should not be CCP regulated.

Why place arbitrary restrictions on what bounties should be for?
CCP's intent for bounties is, quite literally, for whatever the hell you want to do with them.
Including what many people here would consider "griefing".

Too make it harder too commit or direct assaults in High Security Space.

Ya know like the entire reason for insurance Removal or Concord. Another road block to crime to get around.

And we always do, makes the tears all that much better for lube

Lube? Since when did you start showing mercy?

That type of mercy goes both ways.

You know the old saying. No pain... umm.. less other peoples pain..

I may have made that one up.

You can still assassinate people but you have to pay someone in advance who might stiff you or convince them to do it while they risk being stiffed.

So in other words you're in favor of continuing to marginalize crime in EVE.

does standings have anything to do with bounty payout?

like if i am being attacked and my gang m8's put a point on me... will they get a portion of the payout?

point being might aswell get some isk from a lost ship...

Yes. Example: you can bounty miners all day long, yet you will still get concorded when you attack. But you will actually get a bounty if you manage to kill them.

There's still going to be a lot of uninformed individuals about when this goes live.
My predictions:

Day 1. "I just put a 200mil bounty on some dude and I'm not allowed to attack him, WTF CCP!!!1"

Day 2. "I just killed a cruiser with a 200mil bounty on it, and I only got a 3mil payment, but it's supposed to be 20%, WTF CCP???!"

Just kill a miner in a T2 exhumer

Tried the new bounty system on Buckingham (the test server) yesterday. Its awesome. Freighter killed with a 500mil bounty on the pilot granted a 300mil payout. Blew up a megathron with a bountied pilot and a 20mil payout.

This is going to make bounty hunting interesting.

yk

I think the point went way over your head.
