I'm surprised that pleasing me is such a high-priority for you all, but I'm not selfish... I'm logical, there's a difference. Bounty Hunter does without any doubt in my mind make more money than any other business currently, (250-)$ a pop? 75percent to us? Thats profit. Amount of bounties placed has been on a rapid decline seeing as the all wisdomous Deophite along with his trusty sidekick Squirt decided. Economy has too much money, lets just delete as much as possible. I don't think I need to touch on how idiotic and "bare" that scheme is.
Publicizing the business would render the same effect as removing it. Like you say, "No one is going to pay to kill someone if they can do it themselves.", OR unless they know WHO will do it, and in what style it'll be done in. Hence why our largest "promo" is notoriety. Face it, you would not put 250$ on someone's head without being assured of the imminence of their death. As toward's Gareth's idea, thats the practically the same as me hiring all of Era and being able to set the percentages. Which might work, but would be unfairly beneficial to me, logically.
Bounty Hunter is an -at need- business, meaning we're active when era's actively (prosperous). As of now, we all know there is a large shortage of money on era, the item - money ratio is far apart. I guarantee there isn't enough money on era to even afford the items in my inventory, lol. Which slows down business.
Luckily, PPA's System gave me an idea, instead of just "Kill-Bounties" (Place bounty, on list... kill them). I notice that people get more of a "kick" out of the "thrill" of the hunt. Why not "timed or assaut-bounties"? In which, a Hunter is paid to attack / chase a player for a certain time period. In this time, if he/she fails to kill the player. 15percent of their money is refunded. If he/she kills the player, they still must keep on attacking the player until the time-period is up. (Thats just the concept of it).
In sense, Bounties would be cheaper, and add more of an entertainment bonus to Era. I won't lie, its entertaining for someone to try to kill you. If it weren't, a majority of us wouldn't be on Era for this long.
