Being mercenaries doesn't really matter when it comes to the game mechanics and what actually happens in the game. Players are more or less mercs as much as the soldiers in BF and COD for example. Players might be mercs in lore , but lore isn't a reflection on what actually goes on in the game.

And you wouldn't get the money or that much if you constantly cause your team to lose. It works in eve because you can actively loot anyone and you aren't forced in teams ; said teams are needed to progress in basically everything in Dust 514 which is accomplished by winning.

If a group of players is running around trying to kill random bounties and not kill more immediate threats and capture objectives, it would lead to game loses which means less money and SP(which are very crucial to progress through the game) , which leads people getting frustrated which then leads to people leaving the game sooner. The problem gets worse in FW I don't need to explain the problems with that.

CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives. But please make sure they're at their full potential in 1.7.

We're suppose to be selfish. The game rewards for playing the objective. Introducing an element that would take away that and have players win more money by ignoring the objectives by hunting down a specific target would damage the dynamics of the game. You already realized that being a lobby shooter makes this idea hard to achieve, so let's take this idea toward those who aren't stuck in the lobby system, the EVE pilots. It would work with their participation. em ta kool t'nod

You already realized that being a lobby shooter makes this idea hard to achieve, so let's take this idea toward those who aren't stuck in the lobby system, the EVE pilots. It would work with their participation. You're quickly forgetting that these objective-based matches we have can also have their outcomes greatly affected by your clone count. I can win any match in one of three ways... 1. Capture and hold the objectives until the enemy MCC is destroyed. 2. Pay a spy or AWOXer on the opposite team to constantly suicide himself to help bring the clone count down. 3. Place bounties on targets and let the masses go to town with bringing down the enemy's clone count even further.* Take your pick. * - ok that 3rd part is not in yet, but I can dream.

It's also part of the meta gaming aspect of Dust 514 which CCP encourages. CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives. But please make sure they're at their full potential in 1.7.
