What do you guys think about giving guild leaders the possibility to place bounties on members of a guild your own guild is at war with? I was just thinking that maybe this could have been done if one made it possible for guild leaders involved in guild wars to go to special terminals and place bounties ontheir adversaries. That way only a guild leader could place bounties on members of guilds they are at war with - and bounty hunters would get player bounties. I also think the ones placing the bounties should decide the amount of money they want to place on somebody's head - and whenthe guild leader creates amission to kill a specified player in theopposing guild, the player with the bounty on his head should receive a message that tells him a bounty has been placed on his head.

The purpose of a Guild war is a war between two guilds, not really for contracting someone outside of the guild to do the job for you. Plus, when the guilds are at war everyone is red to each other and should be able to attack anyone in the other guild (Which is a huge issue with guild wars as it is). I think adding player bounties at all to the game is only going to cause griefing no matter how it's implemented.


We already see some BHs abusing the Gtef and griefing Jedi over and over, I'd rather it not happen to guild members personally.


Just my view though.

I don't see anything wrong in hiring some help. For instance, a guild could only be allowed one (1) bounty at a time.


I know it can be a problem with guild wars, since everyone become "red", as you say. But then again, if you first want to go to such a drastic step as a guild war is, I think you should know the consequenses. It IS tough - but that doesn't mean it has to work against the system, griefing etc. In my guild, we had this problem and found out we wanted to end the war. So we did that - cause every guild has the option to end a war whenever they want to. But it should perhaps be easier for people to understand how they "challenge" another guild, and how they end a war if they want to. The way it is now, it can be a little difficult understanding the interface you see in the guild hall.
