if you truly wish for bounty hunting to be a viable part of the game again, you need to help encourage PvP and placing a bounty

Grimm, I fail to see how removing counterbounties is a good idea. Sure, it's OK when being 10-stam cleared, but what if I were to gather up a few of my friends and 100 stam a random bounty and take the full 5 levels just for kicks and giggles. What then would be their options for vindication other than a strongly worded letter? We would have just cost some 5 levels and all it would have cost me was a few 100 stam, which can be regained while I sleep, and a bounty ticket.
I agree with RebornJedi. If you want to revive the bounty board, change the Smasher Medal back to its original purpose in order to give people a reason to bounty other players again. When the Smasher Medal first came out, the board was FULL of people, but once you changed it to not count real PvP hits, the board died.
