About the minimum number of hits on a bounty...great, but also make there be a maximum. If the min is 10 like you said in the OP (I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, sorry), then make the max 15 or something, that way people don't get carried away (or 20...)
What about removing the choice altogether so everyone is subject to the same bounty of ten attacks? I mean, the 10 attack system has always worked, its the abuse through selling one hit bounties that is trying to be stopped. If you increase the maximum, it would likely result in the same thing only with people selling ten hit bounties instead :|
Edit- opps quoted the wrong person at first lol :oops:
That works too, lol

I beg to differ, this is how the 'ladder' is abused. They should all be 10 hits imo, to make the ladder more 'fair'. Even though the ladder will reset every few weeks, if this part of the update isn't implemented, then it will be very easy to get that #1 spot every week, especially with the latest 900 buffs.

And that's exactly why they should be scrapped. It's another flawed medal that should have been given out for bounty KILLS in completed bounties.

i tried to take a 10 hit bounty and cos of you i lost 5 levels i like 1 hit bountys and always will
lol, cause of me? yeah ok, you are the one who chose to take my bounty, w/e, back on subject :
Also while adjusting the pvp part of the game, why not make tweaks to the enhancements that are 'supposed' to kick in? More than a 1-50 chance.... like MasterThief
and how about tweaking the xp loss overall? Example, player A hits player B for 2.5 mil xp on a 100 stam hit, but player A ( if put on the board by player 
will lose approx 4.5 mil xp on 1 - 100 stam hit from someone hitting them on bb... I'm using these xp figures because that's approx what it is at these higher lvls.... so... I do understand that pvp is part of the game, but the xp thing to me doesn't work out, make it even at least lol.

It's a little off-topic, but one thing we could look at in regards to detecting what gold a player has is for it to consume one stamina to 'examine' the player to see if they have gold on them.

Instead of clicking their profile?

How about really 'spicing' thing up... and being able to take gold from another players bank, not only gold on hand
:idea:

i kinda like this..it will give those with gold on hand a way to 'hide' it until someone is sniffin around..BUT im kinda liking the amount of bounties on the board lately due to the FSHelper feature that shows gold on handIt's a little off-topic, but one thing we could look at in regards to detecting what gold a player has is for it to consume one stamina to 'examine' the player to see if they have gold on them.

Its ok, most of us are guilty of going off topic here and there it would seem, why not you tooIt's a little off-topic, but one thing we could look at in regards to detecting what gold a player has is for it to consume one stamina to 'examine' the player to see if they have gold on them.
I like this idea myself, it would make sense to me, and one stamina isnt much to ask at all. What about 1 stamina to survey someone for an hour? So if your stalking them during their hunt to look at the time to optimize for hitting for gold, it wouldnt cost you 1 stamina over and over?
I think this is a fair compromise to those who recently have said the Helpers "auto gold sort" thing and the enhanced find player search were too much. Just me though. . . .

you know, this makes me want to 100 stam you every time i see you on the bounty board. I'm 57% into my crystal bh medal, and i've earned every bit of it. my longest bty was over 4 hours. i don't quit.

You would have to spend 1 stam ON their profile to see how much gold they have.
(But, then, it's a bad idea - easily abused with multies)

Hoof, could you clarify about the VL changes? Was it dropped intentionally or just overlooked? I think that even most PvPers don't have a problem to return to the pre-VL era in the sense that if you get smacked by 5 levels, you can no longer harass the original target - so delevels again become an efficient defensive mechanism.

10 minimum is fine - otherwise you just get the ""buying 1-hit bounties" to "cheat" their way to the bounty medal. Be interesting to make the number higher tho, so that the aggrieved can, if they want to, make it a 25 hit bounty. Could mix it up a bit ...
25 hit bounty would take 50 minutes to clear with no loses .... with deflect on will take over 2 hours to clear....

Choosing how to clear a bounty is part of the fun in my opinion. A new "regulated" bounty hunting/counter system would be ridiculous I think.
Take the pvp points out of it as priory suggested, hell take prestige out too if ya want, I wouldn't care.
Hell of an idea doing away with the 1 kill bounty that has flawed a Medal that means something to some. The suggested minimal 10 is good, and I even like the idea of a 25 kill bounty.

Removing the ability to Bounty a PvP Ladder attack is something I've been thinking about. If enough people want it, I don't see why not. It might be a relatively easy tweak, unlike the rest of the suggestions.
