Add Player Generated Bounties

Since a justice system is going in and there will be bounties for those who "earn" them, so to speak, I would like to see a system where players can put bounties on other players.
This can serve several functions, one it can be an excellent gold-sink, make the bounty fee very high to even allow a bounty, then of course allow a player to put whatever reward up they can afford.
Two, this adds to the social feedback in the game if a person becomes an uncivil element within society the player themselves can provide the in game feedback needed to correct anti-social behavior.
Three, the fun factor is through the roof considering we have a real sandbox element now that the players themselves must manage and work through.

✭✭Sure, sounds like a great way to farm tons of gold (put bounties on people you know, and they put bounties on you and other people so we all make money). There would be no way to prove anyone actually knew another player after all.0 -
Wizzo91✭✭✭✭✭Sounds like an interesting Idea.
But is it useful?
If I put a bounty of 20k on somebody's head and somebody else kills him. The killed person will just respawn at the next wayshrine with little repair costs.
It is really difficult to implement "real sandbox" elements into a game that is completely considered a "theme park" kind of mmo.
There would also be a lot of griefing (A whole guild repeatedly sets new bounties on one player etc.)
I don't see this being useful at all in the setting of ESO at the moment. If you can toggle it off, it could be a fun litte addition for some players I suppose.Edited by Wizzo91 on July 24, 2014 8:01PM[EU]

✭✭Main problem is griefing, we all know individuals who would put bounties on people to cause them hassle.
If they even consider this, then they have to put safeguards in place, where people have to volunteer for it, and can unvolunteer if they are getting ganked all the time.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!
