This being a sandbox MMO, will attract many current and former EVE players. One thing that years of playing EvE teaches you is to think of every possibility, every deceitful ploy, and to trust no one. EvE teaches you to never fly what your not willing to lose and that you are never safe when you undock.
<p>Those of us who plan on following a dark path, expect that we will have bounties on our heads. We expect to have bad reputations. We expect to not only be hunters, but to also be hunted. </p>
<p>Anyone placing a bounty on me can expect that I will be collecting that bounty, indirectly if necessary. Anyone else who does manage to collect a bounty and loot my corpse can expect to get very little value from the loot I'll be carrying.</p>
<p>This is why I would never place a bounty on anyone, it's a suckers bet. </blockquote><p>Bounty is a derivation of the Contract system which means you can specify who is allowed to undertake said bounty, down to the individual player. Which undercuts to a fair degree the "harvest your own bounty" scam. One thing players of EvE have to recognize is that PFO is not EvE, will not work under the same mechanics as EvE, will not attract exactly the same player community as EvE and is not intended, by the Designers (who make the mechanics and toss the bans) to be a mirror to EvE.
<p>I know once you've played one game to assume that all other games in the same general category will play the same...but details of mechanics and community and the people running the show actualy matter. Some things that work in EvE may work in PFO...but I wouldn't expect all would.</p>
<p>P.S. If you are actualy not carrying anything of any value you will be reducing your combat effectiveness significantly...which means you'll be less effective attacking other players, including new players....which helps achieve GW's goals.</p>
<p>Not saying the system doesn't have holes, but I think you are running on certain assumptions about mechanics from other games which may simply not hold true here.</p>Bluddwolf wrote:Blaeringr wrote: Which is what this thread is all about.
