Listen... This idea is still really exploitable... Ok for example. Say I know everyone on the bounty list. Say I'm on the bounty list. We get together, kill eachother for the heads, we each go on an alt or noob chars to exchange them... Sure we can be denied but if 5 of us are on the bounty list we cash the heads and get the money for our own bounty... I think it'd be really easy to make money off your own/your friends bounty. I reskill myself 100 times to get 100 of my heads. Now whenever there is a bounty on me, I can give it to someone to turn in and we can split the bounty. I see someone has a bounty out for them. I can just message them and offer to split the bounty for his head... Maybe I shouldn't say 'exploitable', but, really I don't see how this can be considered a sound, or even reasonable system at that; even if you can deny the head. Just my thoughts... I'm not opposed to this being implemented, by all means go for it. I can however guarantee that people will make money off their own/their friends' bounties, and if that's the case then this system would just be another cheesy and abusable system. IMO that's exactly what it is because there is absolutely no way to ensure the legitimacy of every single bounty transaction. Sorry Rob, but this bounty system isn't a good idea for this shard, IMO.
edit: Want to place a bounty on someone? Post it in the forums, shoutbox, or on a bulletin board. If you can do that, honestly what's the need for a "bounty system"? You can already do anything that this bounty system would allow... I don't see the need for adding something like this if it has no benefit. The intended benefit of this system is to provide some reward or incentive to hunt PK's, but in reality, all this system would do is benefit the PK's, not the "bounty hunter". Quite counter-productive if you ask me.
