Thread: Issue Bounty Feature Requested
this would create an unseemly new faction : mayors. in addition to rebel, imperial and so on.
this is way too much power restricted to very little minority, add on top of that very few people will make to master politician in a short time.
i personally totally oppose with this suggestion, as a player i dont want any other player to be able to place bounty on me or any other person while i cant do the same.

I think you would be suprised how many people are interested in being marks. But I agree with you that though the group is larger than you think, it is not the majority. That is why the restriction is both for Master politician and for mayor. If I had those powers, personally, I would only issue bounties in rp type situation or on people who wanted to be a mark. To be a master politician and mayor you have to be the type of player willing to give up all those skill points to help the community around them. You have to understand how to listen to your community and respond to them. I think it will be tough for a "griefing" player to keep the skill and get to be mayor with it AND then somehow stay mayor after he starts griefing all his citizens.
The other check on it is the huge cost of using it. Once a mayor uses it, he or she will forever be huntable. So there between elections and this, you have huge accountability with this feature.
As I said, I would really like to see more player-player bounty hunting as bounty hunting is such a big part of star wars. But what I don't want to see, like you, is a greif-fest.
