Most of the time, if I delevel someone on the BB, I ask about a bonus. I make a screenshot and send to the poster.


just a general inquiry sparked by this post (something that has been bugging me since the dawn of "X fsp for each level lost"). i've never quite understood why being the person who actually causes another player to lose a level is the one rewarded. meaning that if a hot bounty is active with a lot of people attacking then isn't it more or less luck of the draw should the specific hit cause the player to be deleveled (and no way to determine that there aren't a ton of other players doing 100 stam hits while one player hits the jackpot with a 10 stam which just happened to be at the right time and caused enough XP loss to delevel)? while i understand the incentive, i've never grasped the "fairness" of this practice to bounty hunters. wouldn't it be helpful to have a way to generate top XP lost per bounty by individual hunters to determine who caused the most damage and reward accordingly? this may be a topic in pvp threads (which i rarely read) but any enlightenment would be appreciated.


That's a good point. In reality if you 100 stam somebody an take 200k xp you may or may not delevel. It all depends where they are in their progress to the next level. Either way its putting a crimp on their day and the lost the same xp whether the number by their name went down or not.

But people like to see that number go down (at least besides their enemy's name if not their own) and so that's the little pleasure they are paying for. I suspect we'll never see adverts like '1fsp for the biggest hit on Player X'... it will always be show me a screenshot of the delevel.

If nobody has any further comments I will save this idea until FS presents the perfect oppurtunity to recommend this update.

If you do have any further comments I would be happy to hear them :)

Last call for any ideas/opinions. This thread will be left alone from now on until the cows give me the perfect oppurtunity to bring it up again.

This is just one example of how this could be abused. Imagine the tickets an already over-worked development team would have to deal with. And the potential for "unwanted and/or negative attention" to the hunted is tantamount. Sorry, there are reasons you shouldn't be already doing this in the FSBox or SB besides the 1 FSP it costs. It has the potential to be against TOS.

Now please, can we let this one die?

while I somewhat see why this "unwanted attention/harassment" rule is in place I dont agree with it. Its BS, plain and simple. Now its to the point where if you hit someone and then tell them why then you can get suspended. I think this is just 1 of the many reasons PvP went down the drain and is having trouble coming back, but that is another thread altogether.

Again, maybe a standard not of

"The person that placed this bounty is offering [insert fsp/gold amount here] and you will receive it if you get a de-leveling hit in. The target is on the bounty board because {insert drop box with several pre set options}"

PRESET OPTIONS

Gold Thief
they 100 stammed me
I am whiny and want revenge on any attack.
MORE options could also be here, however I lack the creativity to think of them at this time.

This could cost gold and be a gold sink, also this would have to be programmed to where the BONUS offered would be paid automatically to prevent abuse.

Yes, a set message could be applied. Such as this:

I will pay __ FSP for delevelment of ____

All the offerer does is put in the amount of FSP and the players name would be automatically inserted. This way it CANNOT be abused.
