Moons and POS mechanics needed to be replaced more than bounty mechanics. The legacy Code involved was preventing further advancement in Eve and also MANY times more people use POS than would ever use bounty hunting. I agree they need to finish what they start, but theres some aspects of Eve remaining that are more important to fix. Corp and alliance mechanics for instance.
One day I hope to see bounty hunting as a viable career, but you said it yourself, they have to look at the bigger picture, and as far as Iâm concerned, thatâs what theyâve done and thatâs why moons and structure were done now instead of later.

thats why its kind of a double edged sword, i do understand why moon mining and POSâs needed to be replaced. iâm not discounting that. but honestly there seems to be a pattern of unfinished stuff. they never got to find out if a lot of people would have been walking around the stations had they finished it. so the justification of canning it was âno ones using itâ which is true, never knowing what COULD have been. same with bounty hunting. hell it could be one of the greatest mechanics of the game. and being a mercenary would be so much easier had they a better mechanic of bounty hunting. until they actually give it a shot they will never know how popular it could be. and believe me with all the posts comments and new players going âi wish bounty hunting was a thingâ and even almost every reply being âit would be awesome if it wasâ its a safe bet to say it would be mighty popular.

As to walking in stations it was never going to work with the engine they were using. (As we now know, though Iâm sure they would not have used that engine had they known that) I agree with you on the rest though.
iâm glad someone does haha

No, itâs not. Thatâs the thing youâre missing. It is a mechanic deliberately allowed by CCP, and it is also not a big deal or a reason the game is dying before you throw those gems out too.
Something becomes an exploit, when CCP officially announce it as such and not before. You do not decide what is and is not an exploit.

Ganking is not an exploit. Youâre dead wrong there. Certain Gankers in the past have made use of exploits, and been banned for it. But ganking itself is operating within the intended rules for High sec. Concord is not intended to stop aggression, only punish it. Gankers plan around that, not exploit it.

Well⌠they are âexploitingâ how dumb Concord is. Itâs predictable and guided by a few scripts, no dynamic AI.
One would imagine after x amount of ships getting ganked on a gate or specific belt they would leave at least a frigate or two and a cruiser there. Maybe hunt criminals like the sleeper boss does.
Technically the players being ganked are the ones who should gang up and hunt, as no AI or script will be as good as a player (for now), but there is a reason why they are in hs (inability or lack of will to use voice comms, intel channels, proper fits etc.) so my expectations are limited.
Your assumption is wrong which is why you think itâs an exploit. Let me pass on a direct line a dev used at edu. Why would we program different response times for concord if we didnât intend for players to utilize them.

All youâve done is demonstrate you donât understand why Concord is what it is.
Yeah sorry I spent 2 weeks in HS in my whole eve career, Iâll leave HS topics to the professionals.

Donât understand how you post your first question thread in GD as Iâm still banned from making a threadâŚdespite having posted a few posts on the new forum and having played for close to 2 years and having posted a lot on the previous forum.
Because git gud, thatâs why 
Not sure what you are talking about OP. I get a lot of bounty money from killing criminal miners who happen to have bounties on their heads.
Maybe you are just afraid tu use the highsec game mecanics the way they are intended to be used. As Dom already said: get gud!
