Bounty hunting?

[Fuse]

I don't think we should kill for what is basically another organization.



If FA wants any chance of gaining our good name back, we have to steer clear of this one. Find another wya to get money.

.... are you guys serious??

you want to gank people to make money?

yeah, it's easy money, but it's not good money. we're better than that

here we go with the flaunting of the "gank" term... this is a subject that bothers me more than most things... there is a difference between PvP killing and ganking

My definition
Ganking - Killing someone in "greenscreen" without any cause.  The unprovoked killing of someone whose level is much lower than your own.

If you read the rules on the sight, it's very clear that the assassinations will be generally fair. You can't have a team of people killing one guy, you have to do it yourself. While the levels of the players may be an issue... there is a certain Roleplay aspect of the whole thing. I don't know, I think it's still far too early to make any definitive opinions on this... I say we wait and see how it goes.

Agreed, we should see if this even picks up. But we are on a hostile server and my main interest in this is the RP value. It adds a game within the game, a break from the grind between story content.

I also agree that it will not be ganking. A gank will forfiet the "game" and mess up the entire hunt.

ack...I’m so tempted to apply...

The way I see it, no on both parts. First its been said but we can take care of our own enemies and no need to pay someone else to do it. The second part on taking bountys to kill others just doesn't seem to fite into the rp aspect of the faction. We here to save zion help morpheus and find out whats happened to Neo. We're a force for good (at least from our own eyes) not a hired hand. Although an intresting way to gain some cash I just can't see us as hired hands. We fight to win and protect zion, not someone elses lap dog.

At least thats the way

Got to give them credit though on trying to keep hardline killing out of the equation, at least some honor there.

What he said.
We're the good guys. If we kill, it's for honor or to defend someone/something. Not for info.

Tivod said it all. Good job Tivod!

I'm not going to keep people from doing this. You can only attack Mervs and Machinists anyway, so it fits with roleplay. Some of you guys just don't like PvP, so killing another player at all is going to be "ganking" to you. With the rules these guys have in place, it seems honorable enough, and if it is someone you'd be killing anyway, you might as well get a little cash for it. I'm not here to dictate how you play the game. As long as you aren't giving the faction a bad name by being a hunter, I'm not going to stop you. Kicking ass is a part of being in FA, remember? Heh...

I feel the same way as Fuse and Tivod. This is an unneeded part of the game and I forsee only flaming and bashing coming our way because of it. We'll probably targets of this movement more often than having one of us doing the killing, and I can honestly deal with that. Like grim said, yeah it's easy money, but it's money earned with poor intentions, save for the "RP" aspect. We've done well with our finances just by running missions and with the xp for missions mostly back to the way it was, I don't see the problem with continuing what we were doing.

We do enough killing as it is right now, last thing we need is an excuse to get caught up in more killing. Leave this one be people, I beg of you, for the sake of the faction. No offense Tbone, let's leave the kicking ass to those that all out challenge us or storyline events. That's where we regain our honor and status, not by attacking every red we see.

I think we are all going to have to agree to disagree on alot of PvP issues. It is obvious many people in the faction do not like PvP, and that is fine. You play the game however it makes you happy. On that same note, many of us do enjoy PvP. Playing against other players is a large part of what we enjoy in the world of MxO.

We have to except that no matter what we do we are going to be targets. We can spend all our time in game trying to present the most friendly, clean, and helpful image that is humanly possible, but we are still going to be the target of flames, attacks, and misunderstandings. I do not see participating in this bounty hunting game making any impact. If anything it is the cleanest form of PvP we have available. None of the current PvP "battles" has any guidelines and even if they start with a few, they generally deteriorate into chaos.

The main interest in this bounty hunting system is not the money. Of course we can make money just fine on our own. But this looks fun to many of us. It looks like it could potentially be another level of gameplay to add to our MxO experiance. The bottom line is, to those that find PvP appealing(and are tired of the "HL battles"), this is a fun and organized oppurtunity to practice our PvP skills.

sooo...does this mean I can send in an app?

Hey, read my details. In my Bluepill life I was a hitman, Vincent Redd, and a damn good one at that.

Then I of  course pulled a hit on the the wrong person... who happened to have the Merv backing him bigtime... If you couldn't gather that from the description.

Thank my lucky stars for that red pill.

So yeah, if it takes off, this is right up my alley... It sounds fun, and isn't that what matters most? Moreso than what other people want to whine and complain about? Not like they wouldn't either way.

I'm definitely for the taking part in it. All the way.

I think Professor said it best. Plus we are in the hostile server. Anyone who joined this server probably likes this kind of gameplay as well, so I don't think it would cause many major issues.

[Anonymous]

I too agree with what professor said last. I think we'll just have to wait and see how it goes, this could very well be a great idea, as professor said a new level of gameplay, don't forget that the devs have kind of neglected the high level player as far as content. The only thing we have to do is farm and kill at the moment, unless there's a lame event going down *wink*

There's a real lack of content to keep us busy, RFZ is barely hosting parties on our server, not like back in beta any how. So now, the players have taken matters into their own hands, which they have every right to do. I say we at least see how it goes, give it a chance if nothing more.... don't bust it till ya tried it.
