Bounty Hunter

[BlueMelon]

And plus, can we just mass " Kill this dude for 100$?"

[salesman]

Okay, let me clarify. If/when a public bounty system is made, it would be nothing like the current bounty system which has obviously failed. We wouldn't simply "just make it public", it will be a lot more involved than that. It is common sense that just deleting Bounty Hunter and allowing anyone to complete bounties wouldn't change anything...that's not what I'm doing.

Being a member of Bounty Hunter, I'd have to say the business itself is pretty useless. The small amount of fun I get while on Era is pking other people; so considering I wasn't a member of Bounty Hunter, it'd be entirely pointless for me. I don't really understand why you would pay anyone a single dollar to have fun for you, it just doesn't make sense to me.
I'm sure someone else has mentioned this already, I haven't read this thread over yet.
Anyway, if you really wanted to hunt someone down, I'd say do it yourself. Not only will you get the actual feeling that you did it on your own, but you don't have to hurt your wallet either.
I remember back when I first started, raiding and pking were pretty fun experiences that drew me into Era instead of another playerworld. Promoting businesses like Bounty Hunter, in my opinion, contrasts to what I believe Era's "goal" is. Players should be doing things for themselves instead of relying on businesses to do things they should be doing.
Even besides all of that, I think we're overpriced.
I'd support any price drop of our services, even if it was 25 a kill. I'd have much more fun.

I'd be doing bounties like crazy... I wouldn't mind it at all.

Part of the reason you are a Bounty Hunter, if you were to be in the mindstate that our services were a "necessity", you'd be far too profitable for us to hire.

In any news, Bounty Hunter is not a necessity, no one ever stated it was. Bounty Hunter is an Asset and an overall "Perk" to gameplay. Promoting businesses of the sort does nothing but promote the overall goal of Era. That if you can actually obtain a mastery in PKing, that you may be able to be PAID to do so. Don't know about you, to me, that looks to go along the lines of a promotion.

Right now, we are indeed overpriced. Amount of money in the economy sunk, I'll have to see how the economy is looking before deciding the right prices.

YOU decide the prices?

So here is the problem. Little Squirt listening to big Wil Soul.

[DuBsTeRmAn]

I think that you should be able to set any price on someones head ($10+) some people aren't worth it.
Example: You are running around Era and you don't have a gun, a noob keeps killing you with his uzi's and you want to kill him once, but you don't have a gun..
Would you actually pay around $500 for this? Buying a gun and ammo is even cheaper..

I agree with this; I think that the price should be determined pending the skill level of the player being hunted.

[Thanatoses]

I agree with that as well, but when you find a way to systematically record a player's skill-level, you let me know. As of now, my way of solving that is "Custom Contracts". A Hunte may set a price to a bounty that he deems fit, but you'd have to speak with a specific hunter rather than using a system.

[Frankie]

custom contracts are just an excuse for you to do what you want with a BHer tag. you raid LC and tell us that it's a custom contract when I highly doubt there was anyone behind the "contract" and you just raided because you wanted to.

I really don't think so.
That'd be PPA and they always failed at raids anyway.

my idea would be like a gui that comes up (normal)
When you click on the person you want to bounty it shows the kills and deaths of the person, then somehow there could be a minimum price for that person.. it would be more $ for a better ratio and lower for a crapy one

sucks, kill and deaths can be easily farmed, meaning they don't mean anything, but something like... Events Won, I'd like to see
