I don’t think the bounty system is necessarily wrong, I think players just abuse it and don’t consider it much of a big deal. If you want to keep the ability to put a bounty on anyone, can you really change the system to make it more or less functional in the way we use it now? Also posts like ‘fix this’ without any points or suggestions about the changes to be made are kind of a waste. Throw some ideas in there when you post ---

> [@Wolfgang\_Jannesen](#): > > I don’t think the bounty system is necessarily wrong, I think players just abuse it and don’t consider it much of a big deal That seems like a major issue with the system As to how to fix it. Design wise it’s simple no clue about the technical effort. Turn them into contacts. You can assign them to individuals or groups just like current contracts. (If it’s not too hard let them be assigned to multiple groups/ individuals and extend this to all types of contacts) You then go to a page where you input total booty pool, the ratio of kill value to payout, minimum kill value for payout and maximum signal payout. Do this and bounties will not only improve but bounty hunting communities will improve ---

I have a hard time believing CCP ever thought this bounty system was good. It’s always felt like a “crap, deadline’s coming up, throw something out there!” That in mind, what’s the point of this thread? To tell CCP something they knew before any of the players did? To whine that you got kicked out of help channels for being a fizzy douche? ---

> [@Anyanka\_Funk](#): > > But there seems to be an unwritten rule that if you enjoy bountying people in the help channel that you get banned from the help channel. It’s not an unwritten rule, it’s under the whole “don’t target or harass new players” which placing bounties on people for being in the Help channel would definitely qualify as. This isn’t a problem with the game, or CCP’s enforcement, or the rules, or even the game mechanics. It’s a problem with your perception and approach to the game. If you wanna go bounty people for being in a chat channel may I suggest Jita local? 😃 ---

Bounty is nice side income for suicide gankers. The bountypod will always have priority over the one who has none. Priority based on chance of income: High sec rating + bounty \> high sec rating only \> bounty only It should be used to promote suicide ganking in highsec. Should. That’s where it shines most. ---

It’s 15%. So if you pod someone with a 3 bil head and a large enough bounty you get 450mil. Edit- 20%. So a 3 bil head would get you 600mil. [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Bounty\_Hunting\_System](https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Bounty_Hunting_System) ---
