I begin to wonder, especially in the light of all the obvious argument inconsistencies pointed out by Malcanis et al, if this is Galdor's secret plan to get the highest bounty.

Along the same lines as the bounty exploit and abuse pointed out in this thread, I want to add a complaint and demand CCP fix the issue with LIKES in the EVE Online Forums. There are obviously people posting in these threads that wantonly and with cruel disregard to actual post content click the LIKE button on any and all posts they read. This must stop. I'm feeling very harassed by the whole thing, as I watch the likes I've personally received approach the 200 mark!

Something has got to be done. People are LIKEing posts for invalid reasons. I think it's highly likely that some of these abusing harassers may actually click LIKE on THIS post...

Please CCP: Stop the Madness!!

It is unfortunate how everyone ignored the fact that CCP Eterne quote about this forum section being intended to be used to encourage debate on topics.

@mynnna:

I would not expect a person who cannot use proper capitalization of a name to understand the definition of the word 'action.'

Condescension and immaturely mocking remarks have no place in any kind of credible debate.

Apparently these forums are officially useless and the "Assembly Hall" is a joke. It is also apparent that with the new bounty system changes, anyone who has an honest opinion is only a target here for egomaniacal children with god complexes.

Which is unfortunate for EVE and the writers who took the time to develop the novels and game environment that has nothing to do with the anarchistic mentality that those here on the forums are intent on trying to establish in-game.

What this means for me is that I am washing my hands of this farce of an assembly hall forum that clearly has no intentions of an intelligent debate unless it suits the hate-mongering bigots that infect this game. This does not mean however that I will give up playing EVE after 10 years of investing time in it, despite the bullying tactics of my current bounty.

On a final note, the bounty system name should be changed to something more fitting. Because a bounty infers justice and hunting down a person based on an opinion that did no harm to anyone or anything, is anything but justified. Instead, the bounty system would be better off being called a 'hit list.'

We are bickering for nothing. There is nothing wrong with placing bountys on whoever you want. What is needed is a tool to easly filter such bogus bountys out, leaving only most significant ones. Like additional filter for overview, which will show (or lighten up) only those with bountys greater than 10/50/300kk, and an ability to search for players with bountys equal or greater to specific amount.

Now this is a sensible idea.

My only issue with the bounty system is the way the payout occurs. Unless you are in a ship of sufficient value, the full payout doesn't occur and the bounty stays with you. Ex. player puts 25M bounty on you. Maybe for no reason. You go out of the station get podded. No big deal, podded once, you lose clone and viola, go on with your life. Not no mo.

Now the system is merely just another way to grief while AFK because you don't even have to make an agressive move on someone to earn a bounty. Maybe you need that character making isk in an NPC corp in empire so you can support your pvp?

The current system really is just a way to get around war dex and characters in noob corps. Obviously this is something pvp'rs must have cried about to get changed. Boo hoo, i can't act my anger issues out on X, because they are in noob corp.

Bottom line, you get podded once, bounty should be paid out. You shouldn't have to lose 25M isk or more worth of crap because someone cries you cornered their market in Jita. And you shouldn't have to be podded 6-12 times before you lose that bounty. Did Billy the Kid get killed 12 times before the bounty got paid out?

Just stupid. All this does is force people to use more alts, which isn't a big deal when you have 3 accounts. Whatever. The pvp'rs cry more in this game than the high sec carebears, ffs. I fully expect to see this get whacked with a nerfbat at some point because it's asinine.

Happy flying. ;)

Oh so in other words, you are one of the butthurt pvprs and are cool with the system because you can exploit it in your favor.

You point out a potential exploit, yet you refuse to see the exploit on the opposite side of the fence? Yeah, that makes sense.

No sweat. The way around this is to start putting bounties on every noob in the game. Before too long they'll be meaningless or the noobies will cry because they can never get ahead on isk.

Sounds fun, doesn't it?

Hey, no problem jack. I can give you one as well. I haven't played for 6 years, but the isk is piling up and itching to get dumped on someone. Might as well be an upstanding EVE citizen like yourself.

I hope you can compete with the bounties a T2 BPO lets you put on someone. Have a nice day.

Just gave you 30M isk bounty to start. If you cry enough I won't put more on you. Otherwise I hope you got a LOT of alts.

Ill let you figure out if the current system feels like an exploit.

More, please. I have like ten alts, for starters, and that doesn't even equal my highest bounty. I mean, is 30 million all that a "T2 BPO" can muster? I assure you, however, that you could empty your wallet and I would not "cry".

The current system to me, feels realistic in the context that we are all functionally demigods. I mean, yeah, in real life you get the full bounty if you bring back enough of the head (which, for some history, is where the concept of the "double tap" came from), but then again we aren't guaranteed to be reborn a few minutes later in real life either.

Since you cried so much I made the bounty ten times my first offer. Does that work for you? We can do more if needed. Why don't you list all your alts and let the public see how much sack you really have? I'd be happy to drop that much on each of them.

I love how people cry exploit, when they don't agree with a game mechanic.

Oh and I'm a little jealous now Kaarous, you're bounty is higher than mine.

Heh, I please to aim. I'm just wondering how much more isk it will cost him to realize that bounties are a point of pride amongst those who walk the left hand path.
