bounty hunting

as i have only played this game for a few weeks and have been followed by a few people and killed multiple times by the same person. I have an idea of making a bounty hunting list where if someone has a good enough reason you can set a bounty on someone for someone else to kill. you pay x amount of money to set the bounty on someone and first person to kill the person that has the bounty on their head gets the x amount of money.

 

Love the idea!

 

I support. Supporting this support. and supporting the support that supports this idea. We. need. this. I need this.

 

Hmm I like the concept, to keep aggressive players at bay. BUT! I think the function would be exploited to easy. Clan members can set uber high bounties on themselves or others, so that new players may take the bountry and dominate AH with gold. Or even buy gold from other players (say, ''for 3 dollars set a 5 million bounty on my friend, I can kill''

I think it would be better if BP sets the bounty, not the players.

 

I like it, suggested it before but nothing came of it, good luck.

 

I like it!

 

great idea i like it

 

just ask your guildmates to sink him for you

 

i could see alot of people making good money off me. great idea btw.

 

yeah jugg u would be a top target lmao

 

it's an interesting idea, but think about the loopholes. for example...

if an enemy puts a bounty on my head, i could just ask a friend to sink me and claim the reward.

or worse...

me and my buddies could put bounties on each other and sink each other to claim the rewards.

it would become a means for people to trade or share money, or items, or whatever the reward might be.

 

But if the Bounty is a tab in your profile page that you can check periodically, and make it so that if I had a bounty put on me, then it wouldn't show up in my Bounty tab (but it would show up on every1 elses') so I am oblivious to knowing and thus may not have a chance to inform my guildmates before I start sailing. Great idea!

And also, if an npc sinks you, then the money doesn't transfer but the bounty is cancelled, requiring you to put another bounty out. for them.

And why stop at offering money. Why not make consumables and other items as rewards? If a player can spare 100 Rockets as a reward, then let them offer that item as a reward. This is a great idea so let's be sure to keep this thread alive

 

your guildmates can inform you.



aside from what i said in my previous post...

also, lets say i'm an average player who hates a certain stronger player and i want that player to get sunk. why would i offer my hard-earned items or money to someone to sink that player i hate... if i could simply ask my super strong buddies to sink him again and again and again for free... or if i could simply ask my buddies to gang up with me against the player i wanna sink?

also, weaker/poorer players would offer rewards to stronger/richer players to sink opponents they can't take on? it doesn't sound good.

even though it is an interesting idea, i don't know how the bounty thing is supposed to make sense and how it is supposed to be necessary. so maybe bigpoint already thought of bounty before but decided to forget about it.

 

Interesting idea, but difficult to deploy without being able to exploit it 10 different ways as the above posts clearly show.

 

I support the idea but in the way stated above. BP sets the bounty, maybe depending on pvp rank or something.
