Stopping people from profiting by killing one of their own characters is the easiest of all the bounty hunting problems to solve.
You mean like the current system where I have to destroy many time the bounty value to collect it in full? |

Just because you would know literally everything about my character with no effort whatsoever doesn't mean I couldn't game the system with my own alts.
Then again, with all the restrictions you want to put on actually placing a bounty, I really don't know why you think it would mean a nullsec group would have to take any kind of precautions against them.
I mean, other than telling anyone who cared to look everything about any cap or super pilot who ever ventured into lowsec I guess. exactly, it's called balance, every mechanic has an exploit, a loophole, not like it would have a large loophole, who the **** is going to go out of their way and pod kill themselves in null having very expensive cap ship implants? bounty hunting should be designed for low seccers, not for null, though it should be allowed to spill into null if it escalates to get that bounty kill  I don't have cap ship implants. So if you place large bounty on my I'd pod myself with an OOC alt under this system. Noting that some players will have expensive implants is not a very robust argument in it's favor.
Who the hell can afford "expensive cap ship implants" but not a jump clone to a clean pod? |

But wait what it you Daichi controls "B" and "C" you may ask.
Well glad you did ask because this does not matter. While you are technically profiting from killing your own character the ISK has come from the wallet of character "A". If you have a friend or corp mate that is controlling "A" and they want to continually pay the 10% fee instead of simply transferring the ISK from them to you I have no problem with that. And if "A" is controlled by someone you do not know then I have no problem with you profiting from killing your own character because it is not something you can do on a continual basis.
A just always end up transferring money to B/C unless B is too stupid to kill himself with an alt. The reason I don't want a system like that isn't because I don't want people to ever be able to bounty hunt but because I don't want a system to be worked on just so it can be gamed once again. If they remake bounty hunting, I think they really need to make a full system, not just modify some small part and let the rest as is. |

Murder the alts\o/ all to the showers!
Hey look, there is a laptop right beside my gaming computer. I wonder if I could launch EVE on it on a second account and kill my main to collect the bounty without having to use the same computer.
Oh you prevent my IP adress from doing it? let me use that VPN while I laugh at everyone living with other EVE players be it in appartements, houses, dorms, whatever...
