Ok, so I think bounties can only be collected in pvp areas. I think this should be changed so that if a player has a bounty on their head, it can be collected anywhere. Basically, if the player is in a pvp area, it works the same as now. If the player is in non-pvp area, then their stuff gets placed in a tombstone-like chest, but the head/bounty is rewarded. A minimum bounty amount would probably have to be tested to prevent spamming.
This could be a great way to settle those scores with players who might have cheated you, but you don't have enough evidence for action by the mods. Could also be used to troll your friends XD!

No. This should not occur for so very many reasons. First and foremost a player cannot control if a bounty is placed on them. If this occured we would have player deaths daily. There are PvP zones and non PvP zones for a reason. Do you want to have to look over your shoulder every 5 seconds in a place you thought was 'safe'?
Personally, as someone whose head is actually quite wanted on the server, I would not be okay with this at all. I know of half a dozen people who would also not be okay with this. Lets say someone placed a bounty on you and you didn't know, then someone accepts the bounty, hunts you down while you are building some major project in a place you thought was secure, kills you, takes all your stuff, your experience etc. This is completely unacceptable. The type of thefts that could occur are astronomical. You could steal other players melon swords for instance if you saw they were melon farming, had your friend place a bounty, you accept it and run in and kill them.
-1.
I hope this never happens.

Also, I noticed you were suggesting using it to troll your friends. Trolling is also against server rules and this could bring a whole new issue into the mix with that. -_-

I think revanrose6 -1 is worth more than my +1. Oh well, better call off Boba Fett.:p

What if it was limited to people who default on their loans? So they are the only ones who could have bounties in all areas. But I suppose this would be terrible to code so....

Revan, the trolling remark was in jest, but I do foresee that a possible problem. Aside from the price on your head as well as other popular players, your main concern seemed to be the loss of your stuff. I understand that, and that's why I said that if your in a non-pvp area, all your goods/ xp get put into a tombstone chest. Your melon sword is safe!!
I don't really think this will get implemented, but it would make better use of bounties in game. Right now, unless you want your own head, they are kind of pointless. -

Tombstone is a highly unreliable donation feature. If you don't have perms in the area it is possible the chest won't be made. I would not want to risk the livelihood of our players on that particular donation feature.

Okay here is my stand point.
I personally think you should be able to collect bounties anywhere that has PvP enabled. If it were to be everywhere, never would happen for the reasons stated. If it were only in PvP areas, then +1 all the way, if not -1 all the way. -
Snippets from dictionaries on the way that ECC tends to use the word "bounty" and ECC's bounty feature.
Based on those definitions, a bounty would be a price on someone's head; the price is asking for someone to hunt someone else down for their head, money, etc. It is a reward for work, not something gained by anyone, from "luck," or misfortune.
As well, user heads are a type of market. If everyone dropped their head from a bounty by dying in any and all forms, the head market would...crash. It would no longer exist. ECC is already lacking markets and things to trade and sell.
...also, how would you like it if someone put a bounty on you - in a game or in real life - and then you trip, drop your most treasured or valuable belongings, and someone can just come and pick it up with no consequence? It would really suck. That is a very low move.
Furthermore, it would encourage trolling, traps, and harassment; all of which are very much against the rules. And anyone who has bought and/or sold their or others' heads for high prices already, would... not be happy.
I am not for this suggestion. ): -1 -
As knears, revan, and moo said, let's say I have something valuable like a melon sword, and I'm farming at a melon farm, that other users have perms to, I could be farming, and someone could come up to me, pay their friend 5k to place a bounty on me, and get a 200k-250k melon sword for only 5k.
