I have been playing Bounty hunter for a while these past few days in order to max out the honour traits but i find it increasingly difficult to do that when 3/5 of every bounty disconnects and it is getting annoying reporting them over and over again, only to see them back at it again the next day so i have come up with  two workarounds.

1. If someone disconnects while in bounty hunter restraints (if possible) the server checks if the person is in fact a bounty of theirs and pays out the bounty hunter and his group the bounty, and send them to jail sorta like cop restraints do. that way the incentive to log would be much lower as youd end up in jail anyways.

2.I've heard of some servers where if someone disconnects in restraints that bones drop to the ground where they were standing and you can escort those bones to a courthouse to send them anyways that would also be a feature.

Ps If anyone flames this post you're only admitting to being combat logging scum.

If it is possible that would be a great solution to the problem but realistically it doesn't seem like something that would be easy to add.

-1 for getting paid when they disconnect. Cops dont get paid for combat loggers why should a bounty hunter :)

cops should also get paid people shouldnt lose money cuz of combat loggers thats why #2 is my favorite idea

Think about this though.  People know they go to jail either way so they just CL to save the time it takes to get to a court house meaning they spend less time "wasted". Bounty hunter does not care that they broke the rules because he gets paid and most likely wont report the rule breaker.   People CL and will be more likely to get away with it because people will be to lazy to report because they see no benefit to it.

The way the current system is i barely report them anyways as im getting 6-7 a day so i think there needs to be some form of punisment for the offendor and reward for the bounty hunter

Punishment they go to jail. (And get a ban if you can be bothered to report).  You shouldn't get a paycheck based on someone Combat logging. Also if they wanted this to be the case why didn't they do it for cops already ? 
Dont get me wrong it would be nice to have, just means people would end up getting away with combat logging if less people have intensive to report them.

So youre saying that if i down restrain and start transporting someone and they have a 20k bounty but they log i should get 0$ from that and be happy they got banned? get real...

As a cop i cant count the amount of people on a daily basis who i will down and restrain wanted for anything from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand who will CL on me. Is it annoying ? Yes   Do you loose money ? Yes    Why should it matter if your cop/ bounty hunter, if they intended to make it give paychecks for people CL they would have already done it along time ago.

The amount of people who combat log on cops compared to BH is not even comparable.  I can say as a BH players combat log on me at MUCH higher rates than when I am on cop.  It doesn't hurt cops nearly as bad as it hurts BH either since not all BH share pay for all criminals and make OP money for just logging in.

Punishment is they go to jail? They were going to jail anyway, how is that even considered punishment?  You SHOULD get paid for the work and effort you put in to track someone down and take them into custody cop or BH.  Saying that because they devs havnt done it yet so its a bad idea is actually one of the worst arguments I have heard.  Many other communities have something in place for this to pay the people involved.  Most people who CL do it solely so you dont get paid

Both cops and BH should get paid for combat loggers. And if Olympus can add in a counter for CL'ers, why can't Asylum? Are you saying @Gnashes @Paratus @bamf aren't up to the task?

I am not saying that they cant do it just that it has been suggested many times over and almost every time gets the answer of Record and report. It would be great for a counter to Combat loggers just one thats not going to result in people combat logging on a bounty hunter to save time with almost no risk of getting banned for it (Bounty hunter gets paid dont see a point in reporting).

Because cops are getting paid for every arrest and drug bust going on.  A bounty hunter has limited resources, lives and people, it's much harder to catch bounties as a bounty hunter than it is as a cop and someone combat logging on you hurts you way more as a bounty hunter than it does as a cop.

I mean even if you fix the 3/5 CLers the other 2/5 you lose to RDMers who camp the courthouse waiting for you to walk up with your bounty.

Bounty Hunting is only good to do in large groups so you can have people watching every vantage point. Which sucks but really anything in Asylum you need a group or gang to be efficient.
