BHG, and some naked girls

[Jinx]

quite frankly -

BHG is no fun at all anymore. - look at the recent "ban blanket bounties" thread - you see how people are still bashing on it.

i have tried to revive the kusari bounty board for the BHG a little. - but if you really want to be a bounty hunter ... discovery puts too many stones in your way.

i have attempted to collect some 12 or 15 bounties in the last months - out of those 12-15 ... i was yelled at ... well.... 12-15 times by the target claiming that he has no bounty placed on him.

now you might say "know the bounties and you re safe" - but things are not THAT easy.

- if he is telling a lie... i m good
- if he tells the truth, i can get sanctioned ( sanction = ooc, non RP and bad for the reputation in any way )

do i know all the active bounties? - hell no... not a single person knows them. - do i write down hundreds of names and create an exell tab to quickly see if the target that is probably about to open fire on me is on the list? - no, its a game... i don t do work to play the game.



in short. - actual bounty hunting is hardly fun. - the number of bounty hunters went down. - most active players are rather core players that have a simpler life, cause they can actually shoot pirates.

i still got my char - but i haven t spent more than like 30 min / week on it anymore. - for me, the BHG faction is sort of ruined. ( with bhg faction - i mean the actual seeking out a target and hunting it down )

oh, and the way too easy name-change ruined the bounty hunting, too - big time ( even if its a realistic way ) - but when i compare it to the life of my pirate(s) - i gotto say that a pirate can have a hell lot of casual fun... RPing and pvping... a bhg - can not.



about the forum bounties.. - i cannot even assist another player / trader that is attacked, even if he tells me in system chat that he pays me. - i could get sanctioned ( or at least warned ) if he simply forgets to put a bounty up.

so - if he forgets it - and the pirate is mad at me, he can report it as pvp-whoring. - and if i don t "play" disco-freelancer taking screenshots non stop cause i m paranoid, i would t have any counter evidence.
