Didn't even bother to read OP!

Second! youre a ****!

The bounty system currently in EVE is completely meaningless.

Btw, please add to my bounty, I'm embracing this ****! I want to have the biggest bounty in the game, Carebear bountied miners UNITE! I want to further prove that the devs of this came are complete idiots by being a carebear miner with the highest bounty in the game. Vote for me!

No. By posting these kinds of threads, you give it all the meaning it ever needs.

Thanks for the bumps, keep em coming!

The bounty system definitely does need to change. Specifically, we need to be able to place bounties on the forum.

By the power vested in me by CCP and my millions of SP, I am locking this thread!



















































































































































THREAD LOCKED!!!

The funny thing is that every second post I make is a insult. And I have no bount

I put a bounty on you just for posting this crap.

So... if you're in a hulk and I come and splode you I can get money?

Sounds like meaning to me.

The bounty system currently in EVE is completely meaningless. I have a 3/4 billion bounty on my head for, um, what? Im a carebear in High sec, miner and Indy. Wouldn't hurt a fly. But I have a bounty. I would expect better from EVE devs because this is some ****-poor mechanics.

If you step into the wrong chat room and say the wrong thing, you get a bounty. If you price something on the market that appears to be an undercut, you get a bounty. If you post on these forums and some know-it-all freak doesn't like what you have to say, you get a bounty. Its absolutely totally meaningless. If I was an outlaw or a pirate I'd want to wear the "WANTED" stamp proudly, I'd want people to know I was a badass that did things other players only dreamed of. I would compete with my fellow pirates on who can get their bounty the highest. As it is I'm a bigger badass as a carebear miner in high sec. I see some pirate bounties that are totally pathetic, Im so much badder than them! Those strip miners of mine ruin regions and cause the collapse of mego corps!

They should replace the term bounty with the term "I hurt the Butt of some egotistical idiot".

I don't fly a hulk, but, um, that's how a bounty kinda works....

So you are saying that because you don't want a wanted sign the bounty system is meaningless?

Are you trying to look like Erotica? Eve's only legitimate Isk doublerGäó ?

The bounty system is less meaningless than the previous bounty system, which means the change was progress.

I'm mocking your "The bounty system currently in EVE is completely meaningless" by pointing out that bounties have meaning.

Anyway It's not like the old system where you could just pod your self with an alt and collect the isk yourself, which did make them meaningless because all you were doing was effectively donating isk to that person.
I guess my point is more that your belief that high sec somehow makes you immune is commical

I don't recall saying that High sec makes me immune, I'm a testament that it doesn't. Any butthurt idiot can place a bounty on anyone, that's what makes it meaningless. When you hear the word "bounty" traditionally one may think of retribution, outlaws, badass behaviours, etc. Now it just means "Ah ok someone pissed off a jerk". Wait, I guess that has meaning! but not in the traditional sense. Should I revise my statement? Are you adding to my Bounty? Please do, I want to be the first carebear bounty to reach 100 billion isk. Donate now!

I have a 3/4 billion bounty on my head for, um, what? Im a carebear in High sec, miner and Indy. Wouldn't hurt a fly.

In EVE you can also think of a "Bounty" as a "Contract", depending on what side of the law the person issuing the bounty is on. So if it makes you feel better, the price on your head is a sign of how big a pain you have become to EVE's underworld.

Of course, the truth of the matter is that in your case your bounty is simply a reflection of how annoying you are in general, and has nothing to do with how big a "bad ass" you are. You have a mouth that writes checks your ass can't cash, making you and your bounty a source of amusement to the community. Thus giving bounties meaning even on that humble level.

With this in mind your current attention seeking campaign does nothing more that prove that your basic premise is flawed, and that bounties serve a function even when directed at those who serve no other purpose than to be an annoying attention seeker.

Back in the days b4 my return to EVE you could just go and pod yourself with an alt. Did they find something to work around that yet then?

Nope, Im acutally very quiet in general. Im an Indy, I don't go about "writing checks". I mine quietly after work.

If you post on these forums and some know-it-all freak doesn't like what you have to say, you get a bounty.

Ooh, I'd kill for your bounty! Hey, there's an idea... What's your favourite system?

the only downside of the bounty system is that it pays only 20% of the victims ship lost. It should pay at least 50%. Now even if there is 400B on someones head it is the same as 4B, because most of the pirates fly not so expensive ships.

50% payout would make it more meaningful, but there would have to be a corresponding reduction in the maximum insurance to prevent it becoming exploitable. Personally I think the minimum bounty placement could be raised a bit, and the "wanted" sign made less obstructive, but otherwise the system is at least functional, which is more than can be said for the old one.

Nope, Nikki Minaj, doh! I'm from Queens, same neighborhood as her.

You know its that way to discourage killing yourself with alts. If you do that, you lose money on the ships. The current bounty system works, although without fanfare.

ps. I used to put a bounty on myself so people would attack me more.

The current bounty system has about as much legitimacy as slapping a "kick me" sign on someone's back in a crowded hallway. And just about as juvenile.

Doh, I *knew* they must had drawn their inspiration from somewhere...

Please can we forum-ban people for this stupidity
