So people with bounties on them are only attackable in low and null .. unless they have a kill right?

No, you can attack them anywhere. You'll just get concorded in HS if they're not:

a) a global target (suspect, criminal, outlaw)

b) a war target

c) a corpmate

Or if there of low enough standings to allow it.

a) a global target (suspect, criminal, outlaw)

And so far I have provided a wonderful ISK sink for 1,500,000,000 !

This is the best thing for the eVE Economy in ages

well, doesnt it just go to another person who kills the person you put bounty on? not really a sink

What? Are you CCP alt?

Been over the dev blog and comments of it but haven't seen it spelled out clearly ...

how exactly do you engage someone that has a bounty on them in high sec? Just pew pew him or will concord still intervene?

Concord will intervene (unless they have an open killright you can trigger of course)

What I want to know is how do you activate a Suspect flag on the target of a Kill Right? Does shooting someone you have a Kill Right to activate the Suspect flag, or does the Kill Right give you a menu option to activate the Suspect Flag so that you can kill them without being Concorded?

why do people think the new bounty system is open killing rights its not.

Because thats the way it should have been - the way people expected it to be. The current change is nothing but a minor incremental little tweak that does nothing to really boost pvp -- after all in low/null people dont need a reason to shoot at folk while in empire you are still inhibited by concord and sec status. So basically bounty hunting boils down to a mechanism to promote suicide ganking. Its a shame since it could have been so much more, e.g. purchasable aggro rights akin to individual war decs between individual players similar to the war decs that exist between corporations. Kinda reminds me of incursions in how they just dont live up to their potential.

Read the notes.

You really, really need to think about how exploitable what you think you want would really be.

Bounties are an incentive, as intended.
Sellable kill rights are a way to circumvent aggression rules, as intended.
It is much easier to become a suspect and be shot by everyone, as intended.

I think that's quite enough for the moment.

So if you like or want high sec pvp what should you be excited about in this expansion?

So what's to stop someone with a high bounty going to hisec and stay there in CONCORD's loving arms? Can't exactly get retribution if you get oneshotted by the space police.

Until the bounty is collected, its out of circulation. There will now forever be a large pool if ISK that cannot be used by anyone to buy stuff.

Sit at a gate and wait for someone with both a buyable killright and a bounty to show up. Activate the killright, kill the target, profit.
Find a corp what has a big bounty on them, or many members with big bounties. War dec them.
Set a bait can. Wait for a greedy person to go for it.
Steal something. Wait for someone who thinks they are an elite PvPer to fire on you and kill them.

Or maybe if you really want PvP, you should try someplace other than High sec. It was never the intent that high sec be a hotbed of PvP.

Problem is some people would just get griefed into quitting the game... infact pretty much all the carebears would and anyone that didn't have a big corp at their back.

Only way I can really see it working is if theres an incentive for someone to disable the concord response if someone engages them which would have to be a fairly big risk/reward ratio as a silly example you could trade the safety of being in highsec with 4x the rewards for killing NPCs in missions.

Lol yea that will work - because by the time you see the person with the activatable kill rights - click on their name - and then activate their rights - they wont be gone?

And as for pvping in somewhere else other then highsec - well you rob a bank cause thats where the money is - so you pvp in highsec because thats where the players are. As soon as ccp gets folk in low and null in comparable then maybe there will be more pvp there. Also for the record - blob pvp in null imo is not real pvp.
