Non-Jedi ... it is luck to find them overt. (or their foolishness to accept a duel)

I think a new use was just discovered for the auction chat (muahahahaha!!! *cough* ack...)!
The bounty hunter forums have some really cool ideas on player bounties being inegrated into the game. The general idea to keep people from exploiting them is make them friggin' expensive (like your multimillion dollar bounty) to even post and make sure the person has to equal or surpass that for the payout. This eliminates exploitation cause it makes player bountiesa big deal. If they go into NPC bounties, maybe make them like mission level payout. There was also a really cool idea about a 10-25 "Most wanted" list, for people who are just on everyone's bad side, everyone can front 1000 dollars towards this person and when it adds up to 1000000, they're put on the terminals.
As for griefing, the devs either need to realize they CANT PLEASE EVERYONE or it needs to be a consensual thing. If there are people just really p.o.ed about being hunted by bounty hunters, they need to either get over it, or just make some semi-effort requiring way to get the bounty removed (pay-offs?). Even if it has to be purely consensual, I know it sounds cheese core but some people will be willing to go through with it. There's really no point in using it for XP as only Master Bounty Hunters are probably going to be able to access these missions (once again, to avoid exploiting), its really just a matter of adding fun, zest, a dash of RP, and a new challenge to the game.

I run a Bounty Hunter PA on Chimaera within a role play community. We've started our own system of player bounties and it looks like it'll work pretty well.
It relies on our PA being at war with about 10 others in the RP community, though, and I reckon you need some sort of mutual war declaration across a large network to make it feasible.

Well written 
Quite simply player Bountys can save this game, somewhat hehe, you know what I mean, to say it would add content is an understatement, it would be a HUGELY fun addition, and a good chance for BH's to shake this horrible "Jedi Killer" tag, personally I kill anyone, I'm a Bh that's what I so, so long as the credits are enough, Jedi or Non-Jedi means nothing to me.

because you'd end up with that rich idiot putting a stupidly high bounty on a dancer who wouldn't react to his 'advances'
mind you, I'd gladly take a bounty on some of those AFK spammers.
