Sorry but that ain't how the world works, and we are insulted that you think we can find nothing exploitable in that concept.
Who was it that said that the bounty system wasn't the same tool because our alliance has more money. The implication being that it's unfair to people with less. I can spend billions on the bounty system if I wanted. You're the one that said it's not the same if you can't. That's stupid. So you CAN and they CAN'T. That is not the 'same tool'.
I'm sorry you're to poor to afford 100k. You don't need an alliance for that. I'd be happy to send you a few ISK if you'd like to use the bounty system, then you can stop crying about not being able to afford as much as me.
PS: You know this guy can't even fly a drake. I don't cry that other people have a tool I don't. They clearly don't.
Stop being lame. |

I should clarify that I see the entire bounty thing as a bit of a joke. Once all the fuss is over and it dies down in a couple of weeks we'll be right back to where we were 2 days ago.
Maybe corps will use it more, so I guess something will come from it, but not a heck of a lot.
So I'm not so sure I'd brag about dropping 1.5 bil into the bounty system, at least not to me. |

To get people over the criminal connotation that bounties have, I'm seriously considering starting a thread to get support for a small change to the current system. That being if a person has a negative security status things remain as they are, but if they have a positive security status the "Wanted" across your pic changes to "Contract" or "Hunted" or some such, and references to a bounty amount on their show info changes to the same or perhaps "Price on their head". This might serve to remind people that the bad guys can, and often do (even in the real world) put a contract out for a hit on law abiding citizens that become a problem. In all seriousness would that make the concept make more sense? Or do you think people will simply come to terms with the fact that all the word Bounty means in EvE is that someone put a price on your head? "Bounty" doesn't mean criminal. A "Contract" in conjunction with a reward, would mean you issued a "bounty". "Wanted" doesn't mean your a criminal, it means someone has cause to want you, dead or alive. Sinse we play a video game, "Wanted" simply means someone wants you to experience loss. A corporate contract that rewards ISK for the killing of members from another corporation is as much a bounty as a contract by a single individual rewardsing ISK for the killing of a single pirate. Edit: You seem to understand what a bounty is. You should understand then that there isn't any reason to make trivial changes to how things are displayed. I am aware of all that (yes you are very correct).
Perhaps I was too subtle, this was simply my polite way of pointing out what rather silly steps might need be done if a lot of people are obtuse enough to get hung up on the terminology.
It's a little amazing that some folks have difficutly realizing a bounty is not a reflection of criminal behavior, but then again not so surprising I guess. It was that way for years in game and some people simply have it in their heads without actually "thinking" about it.
Hopefully those folks are in the minority... but if that's not the case I suppose the silly suggestion above could be implimented fairly easily if necessary.
Game persona ego's are such a delicate thing. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Great. That'll get rid of it.
They will also find themselves perma-decced by some Mercs, so go for it. They need to make money just like we all do in order to fund them. RIP Vile Rat-á "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde |

Coincidentally, which is why you've got an almost 2b bounty. |

I've got to ask, get rid of what? I'm just plain confused now.
Also it's 2.4 billion, congrats, you're the tenth most wanted man in the galaxy http://themittani.com - Because EvE has needed a proper news site for ages |

It just shows the stupidity of most players of this game. Not one single person will get anywhere near that back.

Actually, the winning strategy here is to make darned sure your Bounty never ever diminishes while still playing.
EDIT: Also, making sure those one has Bounties on DO disappear.
Thanks for providing an opportunity to WIN. RIP Vile Rat-á "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde |
