For today’s TweetFeet discussion I feel compelled at repoasting the following forum op from EVE-O’s. In it a carebear explains how the tables has been turned a bit in their favors given the new bounty/kill rights system introduced in Retribution:
So that’s what a victory in this game feels like!
As a total carebear who likes mining and making things who, up until last week was about to give up on this game because I felt that I would never be able to get revenge against all those who have wronged me (check my kill board, there is been a few).
I took a good look into this and rubbed my dirty miners hands together.
At last a way I can get my own back.
So today I sold my kill rights, all of them, and a few hours after doing so, a notification popped up saying a kill right had been completed.
I checked the kill boards.
My loss, 50m, their loss, 58m.
Victory.
Shortly after members of the pirate corp, threatened to come and find me and kill me. My simple reply, I have deep pockets, for every kill you make on me: I will add as a bounty on your corp, every kill right: I will sell.
I cant fight you, but others can and you will have to lose 5 x my loss for wronging me.
I swear, I could almost taste the pirate tears… Or is that carebear tears?
Now I understand why all them pirates for all these years complained so loudly as soon as there was any threat to their power. It was now time for them to feel like victims.
I have not once, in all of my game time in eve, felt like I had actually “won”. I felt like the beaten up bottom of the pile pesant that gets kicked around all fhe time. I didnt make this kill, but it felt like I did and it felt good.
So much so I sent the people on the kill mail a thankyou email and some extra ISK with encouragement to keep up the good work.
Oh revenge is so sweet.
Thank you CCP for allowing carebears to encourage the pew pew in others.

Delicious! What’s your retribution story?

Whatever makes it so they dont scream for "moar buffs to our shipz ccpee" because they cant fly them right.
Judging his losses it's more a location question. It's a young character, possibly the pilot doesn't know how to better fit or fly ships. But he should know after a few losses that lowsec is dangerous and nobody flies badgers, retrievers and pve-ships through the systems without scouting
hell yes i do, but i just know how not to die.
The Retribution kill right system is absolutely fantastic & in my humble opinion the best thing about this expansion. I had 4 kill rights on me, a couple of which have been made available to everyone. I'm loving the fact that I can be pounced on wherever I go. It's a whole new level of excitement. I'll be sure to gain more kill rights when these ones expire / I die. Bravo CCP for making kill rights a win win!
I completely agree. The bounty system had been broken for so long it had become a joke. Hats off to CCP – not only did they revamp a useless feature, they strengthened the sandbox through encouraging emergent gameplay. Couple this with a major overhaul of Crimewatch and you have an expansion that is injecting new life into a game at a fundamental level. The future is bright, the future is EVE
It makes for more kills? Win
It makes the victim feel better? Win
It still allows the victim to be ass-raped? Win
wow you fat fuck literally out of content posting this carebear moan.
Hahahaha, you sound mad, I detect tears! By any chance are you a member of the pirate corp that was Retribution ganked in the article?
Your tears! Priceless they are..mmmm?
Fat fucking high-sec ganker detected. Harvesting tears has started.
may need a bigger tear jar, its about to get full in 3…2…1..
Where did the bad man touch you?
The butthurt is strong with this one.
You should use lube and maybe it wouldn't hurt you so bad
Sounds like WIN WIN if true that all are Happier congrats CCP
So thats good, and some pople whine CCP want to make safe, Retribution proved othervise
1 – Get toon in target corp
2 – Get mole toon to attack your own toon, mr. Moneybags
3 – Set a huge ransom on their collective ass
4 – Watch them get interdicted out of high sec
How do you stop this? Don't think you can. Greed can be beautiful.
Food for thought, when I woke up this morning I realized that this was the worst post here, since you can put a bounty on anyone anywhere WTF would someone waste time getting a toon in target corp for. Just put a good bounty on said corp and the gunships will roll out! And Since attacking your self would only give kill rights to your alt, this would prove to be useless!
You might wanna re-read and re-read the bounty kill rights changes.
The kill rights only affect a single character not a whole corp o.0
Bounty != Killrighs ….
first off Bounty doesn't mean jack shit im sorry
the alliance GENTS got a 9B bounty on them. does it matter? NO
the standard that should apply to all flying in highsec
* DONT fly what you can't afford to lose
* put a buffert tank on that ship.
basicly sure you lose a few ships to a suicide ganker but the only ships that are vulneralbe is ships worth 1b+ (20% is 200m so its worth it)
and having a ship worth 1b+ i can only think of one strategic cruisers thats solo gankable for that value. (remember you will get concorded)
a Killright on the other hand is another thing. you can sell your right to kill someone without Concord interference.
This will make a change on the freighter killing I recon.
when you can put a crosshair on the gankers
also combining it with a bounty would make it lucrative to deal with them.
i like the changes.
You missunderstand bounties. If I kill ship worth 40 million belonging to a someone with a 1B. I get an 8 million isk cut of the 1 Billion bounty. What it does is make suicide ganking a bounty target much more viable. As long as I beat a 5 to 1 value of target vs value of my ship(s) I make isk. Of course some people will do it hoping a valuble module/cargo drops with the bounty as a backup plan.
Ganker ganks, makes billions + tears harvested… Carebear sells kill right, ganker has fun pvping… Wardec said carebear, gank + harvest more tears… I like
high sec carebears perhaps , low sec-10 what would i care i get shot at by anyone at anytime anyway..food for thought
No shit lol. It's a running joke so far in low sec, as far as I can see,
Also what the shit CCP my 40 kill rights peeps had on me vanished and now I have 12 =/.
2 types of pirates, deccers and gankers, gankers look for easy targets with low risk, the wardec idea? if he sells the killrights, pretty sure he can also pay off mutual support and lock you in a war
Goddamn whining about losses and getting revenge… Just dont go into lowsec, your fault, at least. And piwates crying because the get hunted, wtf they should be proud and happy about that, otherwise why should they be called Pirates…
Swearign revenge like carebears and shedding tears about lost ships in low… Start playing eve, thats not really a breaking story, sorry riv
Personally I hope this is what america is like before I die so I can pay to have people killed legally.
Great story! Nice to see some carebear are getting the fact they now have a weapon again pirates and a weapon the create funs for others!
" and 2 shits were given" lowsec laughing there ass off right now
win win!!!!
Bounties now for the first time in EvE actually work. There is a lot of thing it seems in EvE that were implemented years ago like bounties and faction warfare that that were left broken for years… and finally the programing has now been completed. Its great that it finally works but on the other hand CCP have to ask themselves why it took them years to complete these features because lets not make any mistakes about it, this is not an enhancement this is CCP finishing work it should have completed several years ago….
Now will CCP finally start working on the tech supper power problem they have created, that has eliminated all future major combat from EvE? Or will it take them several more years to work out this is something they should have done years ago?
The easiest answer to this has always been lower traffic areas AND most important don't be worth ganking. Stay in the NPC corps if you want and mine away. Between that and the kill rights today… idk seems an easy solution to me.
you do realise that sticking a bounty on someone doesnt give you the free right to kill them anywhere…bounties are still the same as before just look better and you get bounty on the ship kill not just the pod. Other than that you still cant attack them in highsec without getting concorded or in low sec without getting flagged.
And you do realize that if you purchase the kill rights for someone with a bounty (which more than likely are out there since people would put a bounty on the person) you would be able to kill em in highsec.
Lets put on that thinking cap now why dont we?
In Eve, Isk has never been a "weapon". Only a means of acquiring new weapons. Now, since carebears have so much more isk than any of you poor poor gankers imagined it is a weapon.
I make one proposal, if all carebears and those who have been wronged by Goons would each place a 500,000,000isk bounty on the alliance then eventually mutual acquaintences will turn on each other, then friends on friends, and then??? Profit!
I don't post this as a high sec carebear I am posting this as an ex-low sec pirate turned null sec member, turned FW fighter. How do you beat overwhelming "military" force? With MONEY! Greed runs deep through this game.
Do it. I like getting paid to kill goons.
Please place large bounties on us, that we may kill each other and reap the huge rewards!!!
This. What's to stop your buddies or alt collecting on the bounties placed on you. Seems as though you'd just be funding the people you're trying to harm.
Dont you people read patch notes ?
The payout is related to 20% of the assessed ship value, and this payout reduces the bounty pool.
Indeed for people to still not understand that bounties now work correctly and there is nothing they can do about it, shows that there are indeed some very stupid people who play EvE. I'm betting the average IQ of a Goon player is pretty low.
Or you're just stupid. Goons like to shoot themselves. But whatever lets you sleep at night.
I can smell the fear in this one
dont forget the pod, snack happy treats inside
miner's have more isk? Since when.
You require some English writing skills. You forgot the damn '?'
jew bears like myself don't have much to spend isk on, while nullies and pvp'ers are always buying a new ship. So we gots more isk in reserve
Very nice idea, imo there are three main drivers for humans: greed, fear, and greed. You can't scare these guys so you might as well bait them with tons of money.
brilliant… this would give incentive for the whole blue bro pact to finally break apart and bring eve back to what it should be.. do it mega-carebears!
Do note that these are goons we are talking about, and it is CCP that implemented the bounty change. somewhere along that someone is going to be able to figure out a way to drain a bounty somehow, perhaps by using price manipulated ships, or mods. so putting a bounty on the goons is as good as handing the isk to them.
LOL nioce.
Always tip your Bobba Fettes.
Great news! I think I will ressurrect my Eve account and distribute some wealth. Unfortunately, most of the people I really have a reason to kill have long since left Eve. Oh well, their corporations will pay!

i fucking loved reading this, i been a pirate for a few years and this made me smile from ear to ear, fucking nice 1 but if that gave you even the slightest buzz then get in a ship and come pew, i promise you will be hooked after the first kill and you'll never look back.
Well done sir
I looked for a place to upvote this post.
Highsec greifers are the biggest bears in eve and have the most bitter sweet tears.
Its not often I agree with you, but you nailed it there.
they are a group that when they don't get their way, they spaz like little bitches. It's the classic bully falling to pieces scenario. They truly are fragile souls
