What is the purpose of bounty tickets? Other then for the tickets to not be there when I'm ready to accept a bounty and for it to cost me time on the bounty to have to stop, buy more, then be able to accept it?

Gold sink ?  At least they can still be bought with gold, and not just fsp's.

Is every new potion or buff going to be immune to spell breaker and or spell leach ?  That's a bit much don't you think ?  What's next a new epic spell breaker or spell leach potion that will work against the new epic potions that are immune ?  Let's not get carried away with protecting buffs and potions from sl / sb, that is just like adding a huge win button.

The best rewards seem to be bound potions, they get used up, you need to compete to earn more.  I don't see them losing value over time as they are consumable.  Also, you can always add or change potions to keep interest high.

I'd have to disagree.

A player has 48 hours to decide when to post a bounty after being attacked. If they do not post a bounty within that timeframe, then it expires.

Therefore in my opinion a player should only have 48 hours to attempt, clear, delevel a bounty once it's been posted. If not, it expires.

They didn't expire in the past, and the also didn't expire with the automated bounty system, which seemed to provide more activity on the bb.  If the objective is to provide bounty hunters, or the bounty board in general, with more activity, then it would make sense that bounties not expire.  If the bounty board is supposed to be a form of punishment for attackers, then it would again seem that bounties should not expire.  Just because you only have 48 hours to post a bounty shouldn't mean that a bounty should only last for 48 hours.  If punishment in the form of exp loss is what the bb was created for, then it should logically follow bounties shouldn't be allowed to expire, if you get bountied you should lose exp.  Not saying that you should be stomped, but you should lose exp, that would seem to adhere to the spirit and intent of the bounty system and the bounty board.  Hoof, can we get your opinion on this, you are after all the person who created fs, as well as the bb, so you would know better than anyone what your initial intent was ?  Perhaps offer an in game poll, something like do you think that bounties should expire after 48 hours, yes or no ?

Hoof, not sure if I saw this mentioned in this thread or not, but I feel that bounties should not expire.  That was the way it originally was, and that was also how it was with the season / bounty board changes that were reversed, however, I have always thought that bounties should never expire.  I know that some will say that if I can hold off the bounty hunters for 47 hours then I deserve to have it expire, however, letting bounties expire seems to not be in the spirit or intent of punishing an offender, if you get posted you should stay on the board until someone decides to clear you.
