a bit excessive is the ability to make kill rights global for no cost at all.

Think about it: when a killright is set global for 0 ISK: what's to stop a friend/alt activating the killright and killing you in a rookie ship? Result: not ISK loss and the killright is cleared.

For those people who accrue killrights on their heads but still want to live in highsec without problems, people putting 0 ISK global killrights on you is absolutely perfect because you can clear them so easily.

You're a ganker, have some backbone. You're supposed to cause tears, not cry them yourself. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I am not QQing about my death, because it won't happen again. I can't expect to not be surprised after not playing for multiple years. I just think the mechanic could of been done differently and could be a bit more complex.

You're not asking to make it more complex, you're just asking to make it more expensive. You say you're not crying and then proceed to propose a change that makes killright more expensive (and therefore less likely to be used / less valuable) if the person that got killed lost alot, which runs against any intuition.

You state it would not provide "a sense of revenge" to the person that made the killright global, ignoring that knowing that someone was killed based on your killright can be enough "sense of revenge".

You offer no reasons why this change would be favorable for the game. If your post had contained any coherent, rational train of thought I'd have been happy to argue it; however when all you've got to say is "I don't like this mechanic, so it should be gutted". When industrialists do this, the usual answer of the C&P crowd is "boo - frickin - hoo" (or some variation thereof), so I wonder why you expected to get anything different....

So I just started playing again in the last week and I am catching up on a lot of changes since the last time I played, but one that struck me as a bit excessive is the ability to make kill rights global for no cost at all.

What is the reason for having this? I am not QQing about losing my ship and pod in Amarr almost 2 hours after ganking a low sec AFK miner, but it seems a bit silly to me that it is even a feature.

I spent my 15m as an outlaw after killing him, I took my sec status hit, he got the kill right, and he could of placed a bounty on me. Why go further with allowing anyone who wants to kill me have automatic rights to for 30 days? Not only can some random dude station camping in 1.0 space like Jita/Amarr just attack you, but when they activate the kill right, the person who is the target becomes "suspect" for 15m so everyone else can get in on the pod kill.

This probably won't happen to me again now that I am aware of it, but, like I said, it seems a bit excessive.

I propose that the minimum cost for someone to activate a Kill Right after being made global should be some percentage of what you lost. The guy I killed lost about 114m in implants, so for him to kill me it should, of course, cost 0 ISK. Make it 25% of the total cost for anyone in his corp to activate it (without him around), 50% for anyone in his alliance, 75% for any specific alliance, and 100% of cost for global.

So in order for some random dude to kill me, who is not part of his alliance, corp, or a specific alliance he picked, would have to pay 114m in order to activate the Kill Right. This would still allow people to be killed by randoms for 0 isk as long as the pod killed originally didn't have any implants...

There is no sense of revenge for the person who made the KR global from the current system. It would be like me mugging some dude who passed out in an alley in the middle fo the night and then later that day I get hit by a car and the person mugged calling that revenge.

... when you have a killright on you you are basicly prevented to do anything in high sec.

Came expecting bear tears.
Found tears belonging to someone who wishes he was not a bear.
Left happy.

I don't understand game mechanics therefore they should be changed to acommodate me

You're a ganker, have some backbone. You're supposed to cause tears, not cry them yourself. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I think they should ban you from high sec.. To many noobs being killed by high sec pirates. STOP HARASSING THE LOCAL WILDLIFE IN NOOB FARM VIL. THEY AREN'T OR CAN'T YET DEFEND THEM SELVES OR PAY FOR A BOUNTY. WHAT STEPS SHOULD CCP TAKE AGAINST NOOB WILDLIFE HUNTING. SO THEY LET ANYONE ANY NOOB TO KILL YOU.

This minus the religous crap.

Haha, these replies couldn't "illiterate" any more. I just resubbed, didn't know the mechanic being discussed existed and was surprised by it. Was just tyring to make a suggestion on how, in my opinion, it could possibly work better. Though, I see that all of you are on board with this mechanic, so I will deal with it =P

So, admitedly ignorant of certain changes, upon hearing about them, the first thing you do is suggest improvements instead of trying to figure out the rationale behind them .. and complain about the change being excessive.

Unless you simply don't care... Or are hoping someone will come after you fer realz.
