I've been reading through this thread and am still wondering about this, since the thread still lacks any response to that - after 3 pages and the question being voiced several times now.
The current system is the way it is because the majority of the bounty hunting systems are rendered irrelevant by the ability to just claim your own bounty with an alt. The system described here is no different in this regard.
The system in place right now is kinda sub-optimal with respect to the bounty hunting profession, though on the other hand is the first iteration of the system that actually enables it. Before that, bounty hunting did not exist at all, because as soon as your bounty was big enough, you would claim it yourself. In the EVE I am playing right now, this kind of abuse does not work and the claim by OP that it actually does, still has not been supported by any comment at all, probably because even OP has seen that this is not the case.
My opinion on the proposed mechanic:
If you post an idea that is shown to be massively abusable 3 times in the first 2 pages and you need to keep reworking it over and over adding more complication and additional glitches and loopholes so that 6000 symbols are not enough, you should probably stop discussing, rethink your idea entirely and then post another thread about it (but this time in the correct forum section please), or start it as a "lets discuss options" thread in the first place.
For me, a bounty system that
- is easily abusable by alts
- is easily abusable via insurance fraud
- requires "insurance blocking" as a fix (and effectively removes insurance entirely from eve, you know the players, the troll is strong with them)
- requires penalties to prevent people from using it too much (and thereby throwing a spanner into the works of the entire business you are apparently trying to buff up...)
- in general requires multiple extra "features" implemented just for closing the most obvious loopholes while they imply massive interference with other aspects of the game
is obviously unacceptable and very, very out of place and needs serious reworking right up from the bottom. |
