Honorless Kill/ Bounty System Could it help?

[Kaleredar]

I doubt that a bounty system would encourage people to gank if they weren't already ganking. If anything, it would go in the opposite direction because there's now an incentive to go out and kill a ganker. Players in this game are very reward-driven.



It would have to be a massive gain to make world organized world PvP give more honor than joining BGs as a group and pubstomping. If it somehow did, you can just throttle how often you can gain a bounty reward. Hell, it could be a daily.

I don't think either of those are really issues.

If it in practice doesn't affect ganking, and doesn't provide enough honor points to compete with BGs... then it doesn't really do much of anything.

Besides, the only thing that would really spur geared PvPers into counter-ganking, beyond maybe achievements, would be to actually award cap-free conquest points, which would have to be relegated to a daily to prevent trading exploitation.

You're thinking in absolutes. When someone is deciding whether or not to take on a ganker, there are a myriad of factors that influence their decision. By offering some kind of reward, you're increasing their chances of deciding to go and help.

For the same reason that ganking happens in the first place, rewards are not necessary for someone to decide to do something. When present, however, they do increase the likelihood that someone will do something.

Totally disagree for reasons stated above.

i have nothing against ganking (i still think its scumbaggery incarnate, but i can get over it)

but what really pisses me off is randoms from different servers who gank/camp me, its fucking stupid coz GC has said that ganking "is even more satisfactory if you can get them back once you lvl up to 90", however CRZ has made it so randoms from a different bloody server can kill and camp you, then vanish back on to their own server so you never see them once you hit 90...

Not gonna bother reading this.
It has been said countless of times already, if you don't like getting ganked, don't play on a pvp server.
And about crz, nothing has changed for the people who played on a well populated and balanced realm, absolutely nothing.....

Wow. There's saying here in America that idk if y'all heard of, "Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups." Just saying. Next time before you put your 2 cents in, read the effing post.

I also found it funny that you were not gonna bother to read this, yet you bothered to post. Idk if you're trying some shenanigans or are just not the most observant.

he probably did read it, then didnt like what he saw so posted something about not reading it

humans are weird like that

Now for the OP's idea, I find it fucking fantastic. I love it. Only a dream though. In before all those peeps saying that "If you don't like world pvp, then you should've rolled pve," chill. Like the op, I too like wpvp.

Yeah. You're probably right.

I really like the idea btw. Keep thinking about how to develop it

My suggestion would be to make the bounty system account-wide. This solves a couple problems at once, (1) people can't just use lowbie alts to help their friends farm, then swap to their mains - if their alts get ganked, that counts (not quite sure how it counts yet exactly, I don't think you could collect the money off it or that would also be abusable, but ya). It also means that people can't just gank a bunch on their main, then swap to another toon so easily when bounty hunters start showing up.

This whole idea is really going to favour rogues of course, but I guess that's inevitable in world pvp: you give one class with the ability to both engage whenever they please, and vanish when they perceive a risk, that class will always do well when the objective is only to kill others (and not say, hold a strategic point or carry a flag). Still, very cool idea
