Pvp bounty

[sajin0084]

While reading someone's comments over on the official wow forums they brought up an interesting pvp idea, bounty.
Actually I think it would be a cool idea. Imagine if every time you killed someone in open world pvp you earned bounty points. People with the highest bounty points could be listed on a message board in cities or maybe even a bounty board for each zone. If you kill someone with a bounty those bounty points are given to you as honour points and that person resets to 0 bounty points.

-A person with a bounty can't un-flag, fly or take flight paths.
- You can get a stacking buff from killing pvp Npc's such as town guards. The buff increases the amount of Bounty Points from killing players.
- When a person has lot's of Bounty Points they will show up on the map.
- If a person is inactive they will lose Bounty points.
-Special vendors will exist that will allow you to buy items while you have a high bounty.
- You do not gain bounty while fighting in Battlegrounds.
- Anything done in groups will be shared in groups.
- There may be bounty dailies where you have to kill x amount of players.
- A leader board will exist that shows the people with the most world kills.
- Titles will be available for those that kill anyone to gain bounty and those that kill the bounty.
-The Bounty Hunter
-The Assassin?

Any other thoughts on a bounty system?

[Stankymcgee]

I actually like that idea alot. It would give player's a reason to go out and pvp in the world.

[Resentful]

That's a great system actually OP as the user above me has stated ''World pvp'' could come back in a form.

Can only hope

[sajin0084]

well thanks.
I think you could also get Bounty points from attacking and killing guards and taking outposts and small towns out.

Would kinda screw over the PvE realms though. Gather high bounty for epeen, then never flag themselves unless it's an unfair fight.

So I have my friend on the alliance side log on his character and I kill him over and over again.

Eve Online has a bounty system sort of like this, all people do is have their friend kill them to collect the bounty when it gets high.

If you have bounty points you can't un-flag for a certain time.

Ooooo you made me think of something else...I know this is a lot like the old pvp vendor system but there could be a vendor (where you get gear that maybe increases stealth or something) where you can purchase things based on your Bounty Points. So you don't use bounty points but you can purchase items from these vendors if you have certain amounts of points...

Read the new info from Blizzard. They're doing something better than bounty- World PvP will reward an increase in your Conquest Cap. Not just some extra conquest, you could conceivably get a cap as much as 3k from just doing World PvP.

That shit cray.

Do not roll on a pve server if you want to pvp. That is the almost the same as someone on a pvp server complaining about getting ganked.

That is indeed appealing.

[jeremynative]

i like this idea but blizzard doesnt listen to its customers and they dont care about pvp so

Holy shit. I'm definitely world PvPing in MoP then, haha.

I mean, I would like to now -- but nobody else really does it. ):

[Woop Woop]

Well first of all, where would you world PVP? Outland, Northrend, Catazones or MoP places? The world is incredibly huge

[shootyadead]

I'm sure if they did implement something like this, which I think they really should, they'd have a way to prevent you from just having an alt on another account log in and let you kill over and over and then collect the bounty on. Probably a diminishing return or something similar. But it's still be very fun to be on a wanted poster hung in all the towns.

If only you read the thread.

[Torne]

would be great, but only if it does not reset or get changed when you are in arena and bgs, so only outdoor pvp affects it.
good idea! but probably hard to implement.

[Deleted]

Great idea! Also bounty from killing enemy players too, with a weekly honor reward based on how much bounty you've done ?

[Exerionx]

but nobody else really does it. ):

Pretty sure no one does it full stop

Not gonna lie, Blizz suggested a good idea. But why not tie OP's idea AND this conquest idea together?

Now THAT would probably bring back world PvP
