Honestly why were you running anything but a starter fit in FW since it doesn't pay any isk in the first place?

Everyone who commented on this thread are too focused on him sniping and what he was using and blah blah blah kdr padder (which he isn't) and completely ignored that he used his best gear to help give overwatch for his team mates and got killed by a douche who is like the rest of you QQing fucktards who is against sniping in the red line.

I have nothing against snipers or the thales but i don't like it when snipers hide in the redline and not being useful to the team i believe snipers are very useful to a team if they are positioned in a spot that would actually be useful to the team and secondly i think a thales should be used only for pc they are rare and valuable and your trying way to hard in a pub match and being a kdr monkey when you use a thales in a pub match.

Nope. You should not be reimbursed a single thing.

1) You brought that Thales into a battle which you knew had FF enabled.

2) You didn't pay anything for it so I have no idea how CCP would be able to give you anything back for it.

3) You just admitted you were redline sniping which means that not only were you being a useless KDR padder but you were also doing absolutely nothing to help your team.

If I had been in that game I would have killed you too. Then I would have picked you up, and killed you again, until I ran out of patience and bled your corpse out.

You have no idea how happy I am that this happened to you. In short, you deserved it. I would have done the exact same thing.

And let me make this promise: If I ever see anyone on my team sniping from the redline in FW, I will TK you. Especially if you are using a Thales.

As one of the people who killed you, and received your delicious hatemail, the presence of this thread tickles the crud out of me.

No, you should not be protected from losing things to blues in a friendly fire enabled match. I killed you precisely to relieve you of your Thale's, which you should've known was not a good idea to bring into a FacWar match and redline snipe with. I am also tickled pink by the fact that your salvaged Thale's went to a squadmate.

Risk/reward means you field a large risk in hopes of better reward. Don't spawn with any gun you aren't prepared to lose.

Also, as a note, my choice to send this unfortunate soul back to the map screen had nothing to do with his choice of playstyle. I frequently snipe myself, both in and out of the redline (including sometimes, comedically, sniping from inside the *enemy* redline). Also, it was my first teamkill. ;)

next time, just snipe anyone on your team that gets within 150m of you

Counter-Suggestion:

After a team kill you currently have the following options: [ignore] and punish.

What if there was an [add bounty] type option after ANYONE killed you that would let you set amount and duration of a BOUNTY on a player, that would then post beside their name on TACNET. Then you would pay, out of your personal wallet, for every death during the duration, to ANY player that scored a kill against your Bounty target.

Not exactly what you wanted... but it would also cause more money to move between players and give you the ability to "grief unto others as you have been grieved"

Examples:

Stupid Player TK's me: I set a 1000 isk bounty for 15 minutes - player is killed 12 times inside the window: I pay 12,000isk
Troll won't leave me alone: I set a 10,000 isk bounty for 24 hours - player is killed 270 inside the window: I pay 2,700,000isk

This would add a distinct MMO feel to the game, and there is a similar mechanic in place in EVE.

I'd love to explain.

The original suggestion has a few issues. Namely that a group of players could get a bounty put on their heads then go into FW matches, find a nice corner and kill/revive eachother milking the bounty setter out of huge amounts of isk. They could even do this in starter fits making it irrelevant to them that they were dying. KDR aside it would be pure profit.

Additionally the bounty system proposal could mean that the player who set the bounty ended up paying out a very large amount of isk. By setting it as a per kill bounty for a set amount of time the player who makes the bounty has no idea how much they might end up paying.

My suggestion would do the following:

Instead of make the bounty setter pay per kill (and have those payments happen automatically after the bounty is set) the bounty setter would determine a fixed total amount they are willing to pay in bounty for the killing of another player. This would mean that on the death screen the person would select bounty instead of bleed-out or call for help then simply enter an amount of isk.

The isk set as a bounty would be added to a pool containing all the other bounties set upon said player.

Whenever that player is killed 10% of the value of their fittings (at the time they were killed) would be payed out to the killer. Thus killing the person with the bounty on their heads when they were in proto gear would pay out much more nicely than killing them in militia gear. Killing them when they were wearing a starter fit or and all BPO fit would not payout at all. The killer has caused no financial pain to the person with the bounty after all so why should the killer be paid (people who set bounties want to cause the hunted pain and killing BPO/starter fits doesn't cause any).

Not only would this encourage players to hunt down people with bounties when they are wearing their best gear but it would also limit the risk to the bounty setter. Instead of paying out an indetermined amount of isk they are paying a set amount which is removed from their acount a the time they set the bounty. This way there is no chance that the bounty setter could inadvertently make themselves go bankrupt.

TL;DR
original bounty system poposed could be too easily maniplated and might cause the person setting the bounties to spend much more isk than they orginally meant to spend. My modificaions to that plan make the person setting the bounty pay a fixed amount and could not be manipulated to steal isk from the bounty setter.

That is an entirely different issue but it wouldn't really matter since

1) If someone is running pubs it is hard to actually find them in a battle. Thus trolling another player by killing them becomes very difficult.

2) Since you'd only get payed 10% of the person with the bounty's fitting there is only a small incentive to kill them (unless they are in some rather expensive tank). Even the most expensive suits don't cost more than 300k isk. 10% of 300k is 30k, which really isn't that much money. Enough to make we want to kill them over others but not enough to make me hunt only them.

3) The bounty won't last forever. Even rich players aren't going to be willing to dump 100 mil + isk into a bounty since that is 100 mil less isk in their own pocket. Now corps may be willing to put bounties like this on other corps but that is, once again, an entirely different issue.

That kind of kills the whole sandbox though doesn't it. Anyway, why should bill get the joy of sally having a bounty on her head for doing nothing other than dying? Want a bounty on someone? You should pay for it.

Having the game automatically impose a bounty on someone from team killing you in a friendly fire enabled zone it kind of kills that whole "you can do anything" sandbox feeling that CCP is striving for with all of its games.

the "you can do anything" sandbox feel is why we're discussing punishing people
