Ok so I kill 20 people they all place a bounty on me, then i have my friend come kill me. How is this not exploitable? Really, 20 people are gonna have to approve the bounty? Sounds like a good way to get some free gold... Exploitable to the max.

That's not how it works. Maybe I'm not explaining it that well. In your example, yeah it's possible that 20 people could place a bounty on your head but the bounties are not compounded and each person would have to approve the bounty hunters. For your friend to collect a bounty he would have to get approved by the person that placed the bounty, kill you and collect your head after the bounty was placed and he was approved as a bounty hunter, and then turn the head in to an Order Guard before the bounty expires.

The key points I think you are missing is that

• Each hunter must be approved
  
• Bounties can only be placed if you can be reported for murder: Faction members can't place them on opposing Faction members, and if someone attacks you first and you kill them, they can't place a bounty
  
• The minimum bounty amount is 1k and is immediately taken from the bounty placer's account. It is returned if the bounty expires without being claimed.
  
• Bounties can only be claimed by the person who did the killing, so if I kill you only I can turn your head in
  
• A head obtained before the bounty was placed cannot be turned in.
  
• Heads must be turned in to Order Guards which essentially means you have to be in good karma standing to participate.
  
• Bounties expire after 2 weeks
  
• If your friend is able to get approved and meets all the criteria then he would be able to turn in your head and claim the reward. That's not a bug in the system, it's up to the players who place the bounty to do the due diligence on approving the right bounty hunters.
