Now I'm sure all of you have watched in dismay at the outright brutality of the Jedi vs Bounty Hunter threads... everyone calling everyone else an exploiter.
What would you guys think if player bounties went in.
Let's say there was a checkbox in the character tab that you could check (like searchable) that would activate a personal Visibility meter...
Where various faction ranks would be checked by a code and let's say for instance you have -5000 Jabba faction you'd be thrown up on the BH terminals.
Would you guys think this would help or hinder the situation?

That would be a nice thing to see. But not based on faction..perhaps based on ingame actions.
For example ....running from an imperial contraband search or killing opposing faction NPC's. Being overt near opposing faction covert PC's etc.
The BH would be allowed no group tef when this happened perhaps.

I think it would be great. To be sure, anything that adds any sense of adventure/excitement/non-boredom-inducing-grind to this game can only help it.

It's too good of an idea. I would love it but do you really see them (Devs) doing it? Is this something you are going to suggest or something that was suggested to you from above? I think it would help a lot and tie in nicely with JTL....but that is a story for another time.

Only based on non GCW faction if a death or a kill of the BH would clear that negative faction down to a safe level... otherwise there would have to be some other visibility meter..

I like the idea and have for a long time. The idea of constantly being on your toes is pretty cool. I also like the idea of zones that can be captured in order to give the GCW more meaning. I also want Hutt faction to be added soon and missions that give a group the ability to simulate a real base takedown with all required professions having to do their job, jam the uplink terminal, start the destruct sequence etc. I also want to have the ability to drive my ATST around blowing insubordinate rebels away. And I want....lol, ok, yes player bounties would be pretty neat content. There would have to be a TEF-like period where a user can get out of the system if they want to change their character's template and be too weak to defend themselves etc, but overall it's just a new means to add some fun to the game and I hope it's implemented in some form.

They could just put it on a timer (ie, after a bounty has been successfully collected on your sorry hide, your name can't show up on the terminals again for 7-14 days).
Or they couldhave the system reset your 'opt-in' select to "No" after you get whacked, which means you can get back in when you are ready.
Either of those ways would give you time to clear up your faction problem yourself, before you become a target again.

it would help the pvp situation but hinder the "your an exploiter, no YOU are, no no YOU ARE!" situation. However i don't think that the second situation will ever be fixed in any MMO. I'd love to see player bounties go in (gasp, content in a subtle form!)But you will just never be rid of the people pointing fingers at others.
I say bring it mister master bounty hunter, if you think you can take out the Prince of Endor with my mighty sticks of doom then your more than welcome to try.
*sigh* i digress

I would limit it to Master Bounty Hunters so you don't get the "uber defense hybrids" with a mind poison weapon tracking down everyone. You know, keep it in character.
I would also like to see (since we are talking about factions) a way for very high ranking faction members to put some one on the BH boards. Like a "public enemy #x" system. Maybe even have it so that you get faction bonuses for your rank on the opposing factions most wanted list. Iknow the second part is kind of far fetched but the first part about the high ranking faction players would be cool.

Why limit it to MBH?
Its more fun to have a challange instead of artificially limiting things... especially since in the real life and even in star wars bounty hunters are not all cookie cutter templates nor do they all have a massive set of skills all identical...
If player bounties comes in, I would have more fun dealing with the unknown than the known..

I don't know how it should be limited... and honestly I don't have the energy to develop a full outline for a system like this.
But I like the ideas so far. Keep it going.
