Yes , if they do put player bountys in the game , the game would be a lot more intresting . Bounty hunters would be feared by most , and it would also give people who are bord with the game something to do . it would also put a end to grinding ... A little . Since you dont want to drop your combat skills if you have a bounty on your head .

How about if you are caught grinding by the Empire, a bounty is put on your head, and as a penalty, you lose some precious xp? 
THAT is how to stop the ginders!

if it didnt offer bh xp maybe. if it did, theres the easiest way of griding the hardest part of bh (not that you cant hire and buy jedi deaths now).

I saying more for content... also you would have to have lets say +200 faction points to Jabba or who ever to even place the bounty.
I think it would help the BH's beable to have a purpuse they hunt bounties and Npc's bountys are boring.

I like the idea, unfortunately I see a glaring problem.
People will simply farm missions to get negative x Faction until they get a bounty then let a friend (or alt) wipe them out for easy credits. Easy example: Place a house on tat, get a bunch of negative Jabba faction, get bounty on head, have alt/friend login and kill you in the house.
Possible fix: 1 bounty per player, for every 2 mos of real time. Of course multi-account people could still farm, and large pa's especially.
It sucks but, in my opinion, people would use it to farm credits and inflate the market even more
Just my 2 pence

I never said you would have a bounty put on your head if you had bad Jabba faction.
I was said that someone with +2500 Jabba faction could place aa bounty on anyones head for x amount of money
Then Jabba would take 25% of that money for himself then use the rest of the bounty money for the reward.
That way people will lost money over all.
now if you wanted Jabba to place a bounty on someones head for bad faction maybe like you said only allow it after certain missions are done that can only be done once or every few months and also have the bounty only be like 10k or something.

Okay sorry for the misunderstanding there 
Now another flaw with that: Player X is bountied by Player Y has friend/alt Z kill him for the credits and no loss. Player Y is out credits that never interrupted the play of X and in fact inflated X & Z's bank accounts.
Still sucks, but that's how it'll end up. Even good rp reds in UO had alt accounts to do that with, after they macroed off statloss values.
It works as long as the amount isn't too high, but then there is no incentive to do the kill.

of course it will get missused but I think its better than having nothing.... player x puts the bounty on player y then goes to teh forums and says I have a bounty on player y... chances are that player y will not know of the bounty till it is to late.
