1) Hoof, if I am not mistaken bounties used to expire if not cleared in two days time, why the change back ? I also remember what happened when you changed it from that to the current system, and all of the old expired bounties became active again, it was a bit of a mess, and it made a lot of people less than happy. Why bother with this change, the current system of bounties not expiring seems to have worked fine for the last two years ? And, what will happen with all of the new expired bounties when you make another change to the bounty board in a year or two ? Perhaps it really is better to leave this as it currently is.
2) Accepting a bounty without swinging is now bountiable ? Really, so just accepting someones bounty, weather you hit them or not, is cause to have a counter bounty placed on you? What happens if I accept a bounty on someone right before it expires, and I never took a swing at them, they should be able to bounty me for that, really ? Or, what if I accept the bounty on someone, and my power goes out, and in the mean time someone else cleared the bounty before my power came back on, they can place a bounty on me for that, even though I didn't get to hit them, really ? What if I accept a bounty on someone right before they are cleared from the bounty board, but I didn't get a chance to hit them, I can be bountied for that, really ? Shouldn't you really have to hit someone before they can bounty you ? I mean what is next, being able to bounty someone who calls you a name, or out bids you in the ah at the last second ?
Now I know that there have been some cowardly players that like to accept a bounty on someone, and then are too scared, cowardly, or down right afraid to swing, and this will stop that from happening sure, but that is a minor distraction on the part of a few cowards. I don't seen the need for such a drastic change just to stop the few cowards out there who like to accept and not swing, they, along with all of the pvpers, know who they are, so no need for me to name drop here.
3) bounty tickets for gold, more than about time for this, too bad I just went through 2500 to 3000 bounty tickets in the last two weeks for stomping some fools and their guild mates, lol.
4)I have often wondered why you couldn't see yourself on the bounty board, it makes it a lot easier and faster than getting someone else to tell you how much your bounty is for. We are all glad to see this change.
