Ever since the update, Bounty Hunter abuse is crazy.
- Downing and then robbing or downing just to ensure no one else get them while their going after someone close by (not in group).
- Downing and turning in for 2K bounty for something as stupid as two hit and runs. Two guys in Kavala square threw themselves at my car. I message police, go down to HQ (but not cops there) so I decide just to go to the court house and pay it off. Well, as soon as I step foot out of the car at the courthouse I get downed and turned in. RIP 12K in gear and by the time I get back my car got jacked. Total loss 20K
- Group bounty hunters trying to force people to shoot at group member then request a new bounty hoping it's the person that just shot their friend. They revive their member then turn in the guy who was defending themselves.
These three examples aren't isolated.
Suggestions:
- Bounty for Downing - someone who isn't on the BH's list. Maybe let the cops know if it happens > 2 times in a certain period. This one rule would solve a lot of BS.
- Robbing / Doing illegal stuff - Disable it for bounty hunters. Similar to medics who can't chop cars and do illegal activities.
- Small Bounties - 8K-10K or they don't show up for bounty hunters. Small petty shit happens all the time where you get 1K here or 2K here. Ruins the game play when you can lose everything over something so small with no ability to justify your actions. I think 1 BH months ago asked me what happened and cut me lose. 100% since then just down and drag your ass to the court house with little to no RP.
- Losing all your stuff when turned in - If small bounty (8-10K) give player option at court house of paying their ticket off instead of going to jail.
- Forcing Bounties - Time delay on getting bounties for new crimes. Make them go work for it not just follow gun fire, hit a request button and start downing.
- Permanent Badge - You have to be a high ranking officer to be an undercover probably for good reasons. Why should BH be allowed to always hide their badge and never required to show?
A few rogue BH can cause a bad experience for the masses. And no, I don't want to submit a video every time something like this happens or I would be playing 20% of the time and compiling videos the other 80%. Look forward to seeing some adjustment to this.
