I agree, I'm actually a very strong advocate of player-run businesses (having run a few myself), but we're not talking about businesses in general...we're talking about Bounty Hunting.

you're missing the point here.

one of your arguments was that bounty hunter should be made public because it's more fun that way. there are a lot of things on Era that would be more fun if they were made public, I don't see why bounty hunter was targeted.

The post I was quoting was you saying player-run businesses are fun for players, and I agreed. Unless you're quoting the wrong post, I'm confused
Bounty Hunter wasn't targeted at all. Someone made a thread about public bounties, which is something that has been talked about for a long time, and it was finally implemented. Hell, I think even under your administration it was discussed.

However,

Such as?
Even if you do list several things that would be more fun public, I guarantee bounty hunting would still top them all.

I'm sorry for trying to give everyone something fun to do, next time I'll refrain.

Sorry for the double post.

::A few updates to the Bounty System::

• Fixed several stat-padding issues
  • Cannot complete a bounty on the same account more than twice within 24 hours
  • Cannot re-accept a bounty to get the time bonus if you failed the first time
  • Can only get the "Hunter Killed" bonus on the same person once per bounty
  • Bonus timer doesn't count down in events
• Added a window which shows your current bounty contract and the target's location
• Added server-placed bounties using money earned from regular bounties.
• Fixed the problem where Graal accounts without a community name wouldn't show on the bounty list.

If you have any suggestions or ideas, please share them. Report any problems, bugs, etc here as well.

Also, Helibombs now give you kills, as well as claymores...but still do self-damage.
