world pvp and a bounty type system ?

[Deleted]

should there be a bounty system on wow for those that like to pvp and world pvp etc??
like ya goin round doing some pvp and arseing about at a horde or ally base etc or dem pvp dailies n shit, or just killin people in pvp whatever. would it be cool to place a bounty on some one whos doin ya nut in or is just good at pvp etc so others can hunt them down for funs and maybe gold or rep or summit if you go to the bounty hunter shop to pick up a quest etc I dunno I just think hunting people down for bountys would be fun.

Seems like hell to balance, but I'd definitely be excited for it if they got it right. World PvP gangs ftw.

Awesome idea, but I doubt it would ever be implemented due to the fact that there is no balance in world pvp and the fact that pve gear reigns king would cause one hell of an uproar amongst the pvp community (hell, it already does). If it were a little less official, maybe something along the lines of when a player goes on a streak or something (5HKs without a death, for example) that player would then be worth more honor when you kill him. I don't know. I just feel that the pvp community wouldn't let something fly if pve geared players are clearly superior.

Yes, but with certain rankings and NPC-given quests for gold. Something to make a name of yourself in the world is allways a good idea to begin.

Making a system for something that is currently completely unbalanced, with the disadvantage being for the PvP players, is not going to do anything good right now. To make a system like that work, there first needs to be some form of balance, or at least PvP players given back an advantage. As long as there isn't, this won't work.

No. It will be exploited to hell and back with players of both factions wintrading.

what about a 1v1 situation or something then. if you tag a player with a bounty then no one else can attack him/her maybe, so it kinda becomes a duel with something at stake.. or players reported for bounties appear on a notice quest board or summit and you accept them all or summit, when you see the player in your quest log when out and about then its first come first served on collecting the bounty? surely there could be a way.

I dunno, just think this would liven things up a bit somehow and encourage search n destroy play or yea making a name for yourself as a bad ass on a crusade or a knobend who likes to show off ;p either way brings back bragging rights of somekind.
I remember a while back I used to look up to certain players on my realm for being awesome at pvp and they had a lil following going etc lol.. that's all gone now, no one stands out anymore

plus, who wouldn't mind a "Bounty Hunter" title above there head or something ;p

1. Tagging someone would make both you and him un-pvp-able by other players. One could exploit this to avoid pvp entirely on a pvp realm.
2. Players of both factions could have an agreement to share the exploits, by reporting eachother for bounties and then killing eachother in some spot.
3. The system could select one random player to be the bounty but that player could exit the area to drop the debuff and then returning after the system has chosen another player. Also, I don't think many players would appreciate being made a target for all enemy players just out of a sudden.

The system doesn't work in wpvp. I can see it working in bgs, though.

When I played GTA San Andreas Multiplayer you could put a hit on people and enter a sum which the hitman would be paid. If someone killed you before the hit target the hit is off and you can't put a hit on that target again, not perfect but meh.

There should be a bounty system on players who kill honorless targets. 20g bounty for every low level character you kill. Basically a stacking debuff with every kill that expires within an hour if not refreshed. I'm sure it would be exploited beyond belief but man that would be fun.

-Hordebob, wanna make some gold ? Go to STV and start killing lowbies for an hour, then we meet up and I kill you. Then I will do the same.
-Ok, Alliancejim.

I said I'm sure it would be exploited, but would be fun while it lasted.

an interesting concept, would help combat lowbie griefing for sure.

-90, dude, come off your flier and kill this ganking retard!
-Not yet, think I'll let him get more stacks before I kill him.

Yes, very much help.

His idea wasn't perfect, just a suggestion!

Go to an NPC, give it 100gold, name a player of the opposite faction.

Next person to kill the player will get the gold. (And any gold others have placed on said player.)

I know of a few people on my server who would rack up bounties pretty quick, myself included.

Could be broadcast in the local defense channel.. Player X has had a bounty placed on his head, total bounty amount XXXG.

Plus the total amount on the character's portrait frame.

Yes, ignore EVERYTHING that has been posted in this thread regarding exploitation of the system, and keep suggesting stuff that's even easier to exploit/wintrade.

And people wonder why do I have such a sarcastic tone.
