Bounty increase

Some times, people go out on to the Gmap and randomly lounge about for hours on end, either hiding or talking. But as they do it they gain a considerable amount of bounty from basicly doing nothing. I think that something could be done to make it a bit harder to cheat your bounty up.

Query: Why not put in a script that makes your bounty stop if you are inactive. Take for instance, if you was on the Alpha gmap hiding with (A) held down for 10 hours, you wouldn't get no bounty. A way to stop this without totally taking the increase over time system would be to only make your bounty go up as normal, but if it has been a certain amount of time since you've killed someone it stops, if not, starts to fall.

Oh, and don't forget to use the Rep system, for good or evil, judging on how you like the idea.

i think bounty should be stricty down to kills, and not go up at all from idling.

The system SEEMS fine, but exploits can blow it all to hell. I propose that bounty be based on ranks, kills, hp, and time. Now doing the rank part would be hard, but the rest can be easy. With rank I don't know how to put it. Should a new recruit have the high or low end? (Read on to understand)
But anyways, use the time that the player was alive combined with their amount of hp left at the others' time of death, throwing in how fast they killed a certain amount of people. It sounds complicated but isn't.
How long you live(d)+How many people you killed+Amount of HP after killing+Rank
Not exactly that operation, but the general idea. I'll figure it out after some feedback.

I think that it is fine as it is. People rarely do this an even if they do make it onto the boards like Skyler10 did, they are removed.

a bounty like that takes a long time to get though. I remember helping freeze conor because he wouldn't stop and the ET's got mad.

Most, if not all bountys about 2500 were only achieved by laming. Like take Jin for example, got people to go on trials and let him kill them constantly

I do that.. But some of the more smart (You can obviously see using the word smart a bit loosely here) noobs actually log onto a trial that they have, make sure that the area is clear that they logged in, then log back on. If there are people, mines or its near the end of battle they wont log back on.

But here's where you trick them. Fake the message "You don't have ammo blahblahblah" then say ****! when you really had them and placed them down around where he logged. then after that say **** it have your bounty its almost 100% he'll go back on it and walk into it.

*suicidal

It's fine the way it is. Sometimes there are so few people playing that all there is to do is run around for an hour until you find somebody to kill (or you could log off, but that's beside the point).
