That’s what happens when you run a discussion with forum trolls, the negativity here is permanent, specially from the people who are posting non stop for years
You can’t argue that if given a chance to exploit or abuse something any nefarious person would do so.
Before the known exploits were declared, how many ppl attempted to abuse or take advantage of?
You may see majority of forum users trolls but most who are here really care about eve and want it to stay the harsh game it was/is.
Like all things, changes must be made, so as to not stagnate but there is a way to do so while still maintaining the core concept
i would be the first one … 12 new alpha´s they can work for me 
and thats the reason why CCP never allow the player to have an alpha acount online with other accounts.
Alright, I will say just a couple things since you are being serious, killrights:
- why CCP pings the kr target telling the name of the people who are hunting him?
- why CCP doesn’t ping or show in any window the kill rights the receiver of transfered killrights have?
So, CCP gives all tools to the target and absolutely nothing to the kr hunters, kr hunters don’t even know they received krs from victims. But the kr target is even pinged the names of the hunters.
Second thing, you activate the kill right on the target, he takes gate or dock, he should receive a weapons timer… how hard is making this happen?!
Also, if you activete the kill right and damage the target if the target takes gate and a random person kills the target this will wash you off the kill report… so the hunter who activated the kill right (and possibly also paid for the kill right) will vanish from the kill report, nobody will know he was on it
Two simple things, CCP couldn’t do it right
if you want to know what CCP thinks about it then you have to ask CCP about it !
but i agree… ppl with KR´s on their head need to know they have KR on their head but not if they are “online” and ready to activate !
but at KR atm are absolutley uninteresting for the majority of players … only a few will go out and hunt them ! why ? because if you say you get a KR with 50m worth on a dude who only fly catalst then he activate it by his alt and get 50m minus the price for a new catalyst
if the KR is worth 10m then nobody cares about it …
why ? if you acvtivate in on a situation where he can easy avoid you then its your fault … you could have waiting on the other side and then kill him !
because there was a session change between your shot and the kill ! has nothing to do with the KR mechanics … you could have known this !
again … if youre not able to activate the a point where he cant escape then its a YOU problem not a game problem !
You serious, bro? Since when CONCORD should be snitching out the fuzz when they rollin’ for your kill right target? Criminals don’t get a damn WhatsApp ping sayin’ who’s comin’ for 'em, are you out of your mind!?
Slap a Weapons Timer on ‘em, none of that gate, dock, or tether crap. High sec, low sec, null sec – it don’t matter. Now we’re talking! See a Tornado chillin’ on tether? Activate that hush-hush kill right your homie slipped you and light 'em up. That’s how you roll out some street justice.
Street justice is the only justice!
Put that dank Weapons Timer on kill right targets, CSM Jabali Javee
Easy answer? Disturbing other players deserves nothing but a lifetime ban…simply let people alone with your puny playstyle
Easy solution : PVP only if consented…
Mic drop
so, miner disturbing me so ban them for lifetime !
you undock = you consented
again → you mean brain drop right ?
I don’t think CCP ever intends to bring back player bounties tbh. It’s on their list somewhere. Give it a few more years.
It’s just hard to design a system where
- You can’t scam people through bounties
- Bounties need to have a negative stigma NOT a badge of honor.
- A person could actually realistically cash in on a multibillion ISK bounty if they shot and killed a person through meaningful combat and hunting. Obviously points 1 and 3 collide as people will just farm ISK from the bounties placed on them.
Idk but I don’t get paid to come up with ideas. That’s CCPs job.
MY FIRST QUESTION IN THE GAME When I started around 2017 (different char) was how can I go find those guys with huge bounties and make ISK. Sadly, I was let down as the system was just broken fundamentally. So, it’s for the best CCP probably shut it down.

It does not seem inconceivable that a player initiative would be able to launch a 3rd party bounty system. If its run well and a good way to to it is figured out, then it can verify kills, and give strong guarantees its not being gamed.
But the market is probably small for this kind of thing so not worth the trouble. But who knows.
I don’t believe this game’s mechanics allow for a real bounty system. You get mad at me, create a bounty, I make an alt and make a profit off of my death, charging you twice to kill you.
A possible bounty system could be something else though. It would be interesting if there were a way for someone to be paid to get you access to the victim’s hangar to steal things from them. You offer up money, someone else takes it and creates a hackable interface on the station, you go in an exploration ship, hack into the hangar, get in their Avatar, and self-destruct it in front of the station. Or jump it to another system and put it up for sale.
That might hurt someone’s feefees enough to make it worth it to pay them. That way the fee would not have to be over the price of the pain to the target. And it would allow infiltrators a secret way to harm the corp.
This probably wouldn’t work on the likes of CODE since those guys don’t own anything on those accounts but catalysts. Maybe you could hack their stations and spill all of their ships into space and announce you did it in Jita. Watch them scramble to recover a bunch of ships going 1000km/s away from the station with a big open door on it while everyone in-game races to the same place in inties to try to grab their tornados flying off.

Yah it’s just not possible tbh. But you never know. CCP pulled out some really clever ideas once every 3-5 years.
@CCP_Dopamine, any update on the bounty system which is temporarily removed and is expected to be reinstated by November 2020? That’d be cool, as the bounty system was an effective way for people to place bounties.

That’s about it.
You’d have to PvP to claim the bounties.
Obviously.
Far as I know there is literally no way to cash in on the entire bounty. The target would have to be flying a Marshal, Super Carrier, or Titan And maybe it will put a dent in like a 500+bil accumulated bounty.
I would know as I asked around day 1 when I started. Would be awesome to cash in. Was not possible due to the percentage system.
What are you even talking about?
Nobody has a 500+ billion bounty.
Try thinking before you type.
Yah, I guess. Thanks for sharing. A trillion isk would be better though.
Five hundred thousand trillion bounty is even better…

Yeah, if someone wants to spend 500 bil for that they could hire out merc corps to not only drop them once. they could say drop that dude for say a week straight really.
It’s accumulated over many years. It’s how the super old pvpers were always the number 1 bounties. Literally YEARS of thousands of people placing bounties on 1 guy.
Noone could actually cash in because the player just never flew a bling ship. (Based of of % value of ship)

Lost the ability to use bounties on yourselves to make money did you?
