I was unable to find an idea similar to this so am posting it.
Feature idea: Application to collect bounty.
A player is able to apply to collect the bounty on another player via bounty menu. Once a player has applied to collect the bounty, the player with the bounty is notified much like a war notification. The player then has 15 minutes before the applicant and the player with the bounty are given a 1 hour Limited engagement timer. Bounty payout will still remain the same percentage value of the kill as current bounty system.
Only one person at a time can apply to collect the bounty (Bounty becomes locked while application is in progress).
Each player can only apply for a bounty on the same player once a week.
A player can not apply to collect a bounty they contributed to.
Each player has a grace period of say 4 hours (not sure how long would be suitable) after having bounty applied for in which his/her bounty can't be applied for again.
Bring out the bounty hunters. |

It allows people with bounties to be hunted legally in high sec?
Also keeps it 1v1. |

But the problem with bounties is that a player can have a buddy/alt kill that char then have the prize tranfered. You'ld just adding a step. |

let me see, I can put an 1isk bounty on you, apply, kill you, wait for you to get another ship, put 1isk bounty, apply, kill you, rinse and repeat.
just make another "remove hisec" thread, it would be less stupid than this. |

Bounties only get paid out at a small percentage of the kill Value. You'd just be losing more than you gain by doing that. |

you're forgetting the little "concord protection" thing in your proposal.
everybody would put bounties on freigther drivers and gank them for free. |

Hence the limitations. You can only try once per player, per week. The Pilot has a grace period, and a pilot can't apply to claim his own bounty as stated in the Original post.
The timer could be longer, but that's a matter of how safe afk players need to be?

There is no polite way to say it - but how dumb is that ?!
You realize, that bounties will stack up on offenders endlessly while hunters can only get at it once per week ? Even if you come from the 'prevent to kill their own KR' this is extremely dumb. It hinders more the real hunters then it does the 'remove KR' alts/buddies. Not to mention, that most don't care anyway about the KR since they are free to engage anyway and they won't care about bounties being payed out or a single person hunting them.
This doesn't even further competition, since your competition or yourself can't hunt the same target in the same week again -¦-¦.
Surely a quality post like all your others.

Totally applies here - and nice calling everyone that actually thinks about stuff here and tries to discuss them a troll - right back at ya.
Are you sure your issues aren't elsewhere ?! |

And explain how it "Hinders real hunters"
Also has nothing to do with Kill rights.
What makes you think bounties will stack up? This isn't replacing the bounty system, it's an additional option to claim bounties in high sec without being concorded. Is it that hard for you to understand? |

the week or so they take to spam missions in .5 space to get back the the sec status to scout .7 or higher space out, again.
You are trading one downside for another. Well not really, they don't even have the mission grind for sec status this way.
Not all run around tilting lances at any windmill they see. The more successful gankers i know scout and stalk for days anyway. One I knew cased his targets running missions for days. Seeing what people undocked in, seeing habits...all while in some nice mission running ships themselves. Sti in undock for 4 hours a day in a dessie people will suspect something at some point.
Hover around between missions in say a NM....well you fit in with the other runners. Then one day...there he was in a runners deadspace, and not there to help to run it for damn sure lol To their credit, most of his marks dropped loot worth the time to stalk and drop them when a friend(s) brought in.

So I apply for my freighter alt's bounty, get the 4 hour protection, and bam, normal safety.
If you have to die to get the protection, I kill my alt's ibis.
The idea is fundamentally stupid.

Yeah don't think there's any way to stop people from exploiting it, even if toons on same IP are excluded. Oh well

Why I say don't eve play with bounty. Kill em (in game) yourself or let it go.
Its main weakness is the players putting bounty out. Many are cheap. Won't even spring the cost for a damn af to kill them lol. Too cheap to scare up the funds for even a throwaway af to try for personal payback, then they expect others to work for chump change....my take on the whole affair really anyway.

Honestly the only way to make the bounty system truly effective is if when you killed someone they didn't come back in a clone and were permanently dead. This of course would wreck the game. |

No, bounties should in no way make a player a legal target in high-sec. |
