I take back my negative review of the freelance system.

As explained on my blog, it’s actually worked out well for me.

Thanks for the free isk!

Wrong, wrong, nonsense, nonsense. Old bounty system could not be abused by killing yourself. These theorycrafts with some super rare faction item that the said person was manipulating market for months only to then have it in ship that he destroyed with alt is nothing but a fairy tale that never happen.

We already have what is needed for PvP bounties to work, it is just limited to corporation.

But in corporation project I can specify, player or corporation/alliance, system where he has to die, ship he has to fly. Not much more needed, although I suppose you can always just let yourself blown alt by alt in empty hull, but there is no solution against that. The thing is, even if someone makes a freelance job against me, I would not notice. I don’t look at them. I don’t care. So even if I could scam it (which currently is easy to do since it is damage not kill lol) I wouldn’t.

Not sure about freelance, but I use corporation projects and even this system won’t show me who participated and how much was he paid. All I see is the total sum subtracted from Corporation Wallet upfront. I would expect the freelance works the same.

Imho the last iteration (20% ship universe-wide 90d average hull value as max payout) was imho pretty failsave. Items in Fit und Cargo were ignored and no one is able to manipulate a ship-price for any ship in EVE over 90days to a degree that he can make profits with that. Others would _waaaay_ to fast step in and correct the market.

No idea what really the reason is that CCP doesn’t want to bring the bounty system back, but _abuse from killing yourself with an alt_ definitely isn’t. Because that didn’t work any more when they turned it off.

Anyway, so far it seems that peoples are using it exclusively to two things:

- give extra rewards to new players
- bait players to come to lowsec

The rest freelance jobs are either tests or corporation advertisements using a task that cannot be finished like mine Plagioclase in Niyabainen.

Well. There is fun on the freelance jobs. It’s just outsmarting each other. 🙂 It’s PVP after all. this guy just mess it up for the views but if his serious the story may be different. It can also can be great for Fleet PVP. Accepting the scam freelance job as a fuse for it.
