Tbh you have a point in there.
The best reason to place a bounty is simply to know when your enemy has had their ship destroyed.
Thing is, its fairly meaningless if that person is a regular suicide jockey.
Im kinda retarded but here it goes:
Why not make bounty system work. here is my proposal.
- person who sets the bounty has 3 options: a)how much ISK has to be destroyed b) reward c)pool of ISK for bounty that will be set.
Option A and B are visible(Depends Read forward).
Now here my opinion diverges into 2 was:
Divergence 1)
If multiple people have bounty ONLY highest A is visible, but all B are cumulative (highest A will trigger ALL Bs)
Divergence 2)
If multiple people have bounty ONLY highest A is visible, and only connected B is triggered.
Continuation:
When B has been triggered by A enough times and the connected C poll is depleted that is it.
Aftertought:
POD bounty is seperate from ship bounty. Triggered in same way.
Good:
Higer isk.
more stable isk income.
Dont see direct way of scam manipulation.
Concreate goals. I dont care if somebodey pod is blow up i want to see 1bill implants on kill mail. Also… what’s the point of killing riffters…
Bounty is suppose to terrorize a person…
Bad:
Hardcore greefing enabling.
There has to be a system that prevents casual putting bounties. A tax on putting bounties, kill right in return… something cause of disposable alts. Has to have a negative impact on person putting the bounty.
As someone who used bounties well by targeting not my opponents main but hauler alts, I feel I am owed a refund.
I bountied one player clean out of Eve and now if he is reading this he can simply return from the shadowverse that is IRL? What a joke, refund me my ISK.
I also propose that given players pay 500 PLEX to fly omega that there should be an option where I pay concord 1000plex and that players omega status is removed. The 2x fee will insure defenders advantage.

CCP - How long now without update or reply - you really look negligent and inept - decide what you are doing with the bounty mechanic and enact it - every day you do nothing just exemplifies how terrible the “exciting new expansion” that retribution was that you tried to sell to the community - and are now back tracking - update in this thread please or continue to be terribe and tacit- case in veritas

As a bounty hunter, I sure hope this feature returns soon!

looks like they aren’t ready to re-enable it yet…
I think the question is whether they intend to enable it, or are they planning to never mention it again? I am a big fan of the bounty hunting system, and feel like it’s unreasonable to eliminate my playstyle, just so nullbears can analyze blob performance.
CCP should delete the blobbers, not the bounties. Not everybody feels the need to cram thousands of players unto one grid, especially not when it undermines the rest of the game.
The bounty system is my favourite part of the game, so I hope it returns soon! There’s nothing more satisfying that finding someone with a bounty, killing them, and collecting a reward for your good work. The bounty scaled to the value of the target, and it was a great incentive to hunt down people with a bounty!
Maybe they should just disable bounties in nullsec, and re-enable them in highsec?

In 2014 with then Rhea release, CCP removed medical clone states and promised there was a whole lot of design underway to make play around clones meaningful. The devblog said a bit about it:
These medical clone changes are just the beginning of a larger project revolving around clones and their purpose in EVE. While we are still in the early stages of design, the Rhea changes are our first step towards the future possibilities of clones. We will maintain the meaningful nature of death and we are going to give you ways to interact with that death which will affect the whole EVE universe.
Still crickets.
That’s just one of several examples of similar things.
So yeah, once removed, unlikely to return as far as bounties go. Just more erosion of sand.

Except it was meaningless at best and an abused mechanic at worst. Not all sand adds value to the sandbox, some even takes away value, so removal of sand like that can be a good thing.
Sure, that’s one opinion, but not universal; and ultimately the old mechanics isn’t worth discussing anymore. The specific mechanics weren’t the point of the post.
Maybe it was missed on you, but it was about CCP’s promise of developing something else that has never materialised, just like this probably won’t given the history of CCP.
Sure, that part matters, complaining about sand being removed however is irrelevant in this case, and a meaningless tangent.
■■■■■■■■. Any feature that is just removed is sand lost, whether you personally slurped CCP’s reasoning or not.
During a heavy TIDI fight, I noticed a killright check among outstanding calls, despite being in null security. Seems like a totally obsolete call to the server that does nothing expect making TIDI fights even more laggy.
But, hey, it’s CCP, must be too hard for them to fix code that goes like this:
if (player.HasKillright)
if(solarsystem.security>0.0)
to
if (solarsystem.security>0.0)
if(player.HasKillright)

Oh man. You still got the server code?
Weren’t killrights also switched off already, or am I remembering that wrong?
The kill right icon still appears in selected item window and I have even tried to activate them which gives the same old “activating kill rights in null security space is futile”. I haven’t seen anyone with available killrights in highsec lately, so it may be that the game doesn’t check for them in that part of space but it does in nullsec which I found silly. If you hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M and open oustanding calls, you’ll notice a kilright check among them, which is something I wouldn’t have found out if I wasn’t in a heavy TIDI fight.

Kill Rights are still fully operational.
I was out at the shops yesterday and I came home to find I was 15 million richer from a kill right activation on a guy that tried to kill me the other day.

Combat anomalies are called combat site once you scan them.
Module and ammo, reprocess, give a little bit of resource, including tritanium
I think you just try to troll and fail
