Lol, well, it's one way of making your point. Here... a quote from CCP Punkturis that will make you laugh...

I believe (I have faith!) that people will mostly be putting bounties on people that annoy them, not just random people in local..
Heh, I guess that one didn't actually turn out as she expected. I wish I could live in her world though. Everyone would get along fine, we wouldn't even need bounties then. |

People have money to burn and if you don't agree with a forum poster or someone helping in the channel. Bang, just add another meaningless bounty of 100K ISK just to annoy the other person. I expect this will keep on going for a long time. |

Most player are only a bit over enthusiastic about the new button they can smash when they're bored. This will end in 1 or 2 weeks and all of these Minibountys will be gone in a month when these players got killed once or twice. it's still a huge improvement to the old system that was broken as hell and i, personally, like these changes.
Like Frying Doom said as well, I too like the changes they made to the extend that it now serves the purpose it is intended to do. However, several players warned CCP Punkturis and others in the dev blog that the system had major flaws in its design.
The first problem is that bounties are indefinite. There is no expiration timer. Thus a person will keep it if the bounty is too low and he never leaves the station or remains in high-sec without wardecs. These minibounties as you call them will remain on many players for quite a while, if not for the rest of their life. Just have an alt destroy your ship then? Great, just because some bored player puts a bounty on you, you have to do all that to remove it again. Which brings me to the second problem.
Bounties, in its current form are too easy to put onto players. There is no reason needed. Just search for any random character and add a bounty and you're done. Do you actually want that player to be hunted down? Not really, chances are you aren't even at war with them. Or even met them in EVE. Heck, large alliances have corps putting bounties on each other.
The end result is that, save for the few bounties that really matter and work very well with the current system, the vast majority of these "mini-bounties"are meaningless. Ergo: the current bounty hunter system is flawed and needs drastic changes to make it really work the way it is intended.

So what you're saying is,
You're afraid of a 100k ISK bounty?
You are pointing out exactly what they intended to fix. Why do some of you not seem to understand that?
No, no, then you misunderstood me. I am not afraid of any bounty in this new system. Bounties can go as high as they can be. It's sandbox after all. My point is, what is the meaning of a bounty if the result is that it is never removed and not actually intended to have the player be hunted by bounty hunters.
You're in Goonswarm and I expect you end up in low and null sec most of the time. If I put a bounty on you, even if it is 100k ISK, chances are that it could be paid out. I don't know how well you do in PvP combat after all. But if you would do the same on me. Then the bounty has become meaningless. I can not be war-decced so I'm never a viable target in high-sec. I do not leave high-sec either so that 100k ISK you put on me is going to remain indefinitely.
And what is the purpose of a bounty? You want the target to be hunted down right? 100k ISK isn't going to cut it.
