Something like this, I imagine:
"I have dabbled with EVE for several years now, but each time I return, I feel like if I speak in local or NPC corp chat, or any of the other channels, I am punished. The bounty system is so easily abused because chatting leads to random people placing a bounty on my head.
Now, I am a carebear, through and through. A simple check of my kill to death ration can confirm that. I also spend a great deal of time either mining or exploring. I make no apologies for it. But in an MMO that should encourage communication between players, one of the first rules of EVE is "don't speak." Yeah, I know I can chat to my hearts content and just accept random bounties placed on my head, but that just places a bigger mark on my head.
Anyway, I don't think removing the bounty system is the solution, but it would be nice if I could chat while having my fun without being labeled WANTED just for trying to be social in a social game.
Well, my 10 frees days is up soon and I am not sure I will sub again yet. But while playing for the last 9 days, it occurred to me that this is one of those nagging features of EVE that I don't enjoy. I like being social, but being penalized for it really sucks.
Fly safe. "

Op. Solo pvper here who only does combat and... Are you sitting down? Because this is going to blow your mind. I don't hate you for being a care bear. Or any other reason.
I Beleive it takes all of us to make eve go round.
And really pay attention to this next part.
There are three types of eve players really.
1. Those who know its a game and do their own thing with their friends/Corp
2. Those who don't know it's a game and take stuff too personally
3. Those who know its just a game and prey on those who take it too seriously to harvest tears.
I reccomended you join group 1 and leave group 2 ASAP. Or your not going to make it far.
Look for a Corp to join that shares your play style.
Most of the asshats out there are only asshats to those in group 2. And only as long as they remain in said group.
Those in group 3 are really great guys if your not their tear tap.
And the exploits of group 3 creates a lot of good lols for us all in groups 1 and 3 to enjoy.
See. Takes us all.
Even this post is tears for group 3. Job well done I say
So.. Yes talk away wherever you want. Bounties are pointless with the way they are collected Wear your wanted sign as a lol at Ccp for spending so much time on such a useless game mechanic. And for the love of the blood God. Don't fall for this trick again.
You got grieved by group 3 and cried all over gd just like they wanted you to.
I'm sorry if this post is a little scatter brained. I've been up for the last 26 hours trying to squeeze every ounce of performance out of my ancient pc so I can make half way decent twitch streams. |

The bounty system is like the like button on forums and Facebook.
The number of isk on your bounty is like the number of likes you have.

OP, bounties don't matter to your game. Don't worry about them or anybody putting them on you for any reason. Again, bounties don't really matter. Some people will put a small bounty (100k is minimum bounty possible to do) on players just to see if they will react. Some people will put a bounty on someone who doesn't have one just as a way of saying "hi, welcome to the EvE club".
Not a reason to stop you from enjoying the game.

Nobody is going to go after you just for your bounty. They'll instead kill you for whatever you're carrying around in your ship.

Confirming bounties are Eve 'likes'. Have a like. OP, if serious, is a demonstration of how the Eve environment allows a person to be Good, which is different from being Nice in that it requires much more of you and it is a genuine quality instead of a controlling posture trying to avoid trouble. Nice people are fake, Good people are Gold.

Most of my alts have bounties, including the ones that never undock (market alts & industry alts).
Keep in mind, I'm an industrialist, but not a "carebear". Still here. Still having fun. Playing in the EVE sandbox my way.
You definitely have the wrong game.

That is what reasonable people think...however, I know of at least one person who biomassed their character expressly because I had put a 100k bounty on them. Some people

In the past, I would re-sub about once a year, but I have not been subbed in about a year and a half. I only came back for the 10 free days that were offered.
Anyway, I posted my original post really for CCP. It attracted some rather toxic comments which really does not resolve my initial concern, so I'm moving on to the uninstall button. My time is up and EVE, for me, has only been a social experiment in toxicity.
Enjoy your time in EVE. Cheers! |

You are so right. That inventory fiasco from 2012 and the thread that was over 50 pages long was an issue that "no one" cared about. I wonder where many of those people are today?
Anyway, thanks for calling me a troll. I always wondered what I was. I had no idea until you came along. How fortunate I am to have you in my world now. I feel lucky...really

I think you lost at spelling, so you should probably place a bounty on the nearest copy of the OED.

Bounties spooking you from being social is just silly. Hell, even wardecs shouldn't be enough to keep you silent. You have full control of what you let scare you in this game.
Personally I like my bounty, as I kind of view it like a tip jar from all my satisfied customers. With my usual activities I'm kind of like a random burner mission that comes to you... all you have to do is click the right buttons and you could win an average of 8 million isk in bounty plus up to about 10 mil in loot if you win.
Digression aside, unless you're putting yourself out there for violent funtime the odds of them having any meaning at all are pretty slim.
Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

As my free time in EVE is over and I am uninstalling, I can think of no better use for your ISK. It wouldn't be ISK lost, if you go inactive for 3 months then whoever placed the bounty gets it returned - bounties are cleared after that time.
Some even use it as an intel tool. Want to know if (character name) goes inactive or not ? Keep a small bounty on them - it being returned will let you know (and if they don't you'll be able to get a laugh when they lose a ship).
