    Just sneak around till you get to a thieves guild not that hard with a bit of situational awareness, sell loot then lets guards kill you, a heap less painful than not being able to go anywhere with ya toon.

    Well i end up doing a killing spree and end up close to 1 million in bounty i just park in one of the outlaw refuge camp for a week i think it was just login 1 time per day to see how much it was left and just log over to alt and play it while the bounty even down it go down fast at start and slower and slower less you have left

    Killing spree?
    180k in one night?

    Riiiiiight.

    And I completed vMA in 30 minutes.
    Where is my Flawless Conqueror achievement?

    If you don't have the required gold right now, you should be able to accrue it by fencing stolen items. Sure it many take a while, but the overall time will be less than just waiting for the bounty to decay by itself.

    ZOS have also made it so that general game progression is only minimally affected by having a large bounty. For example, you can still talk to any quest NPC regardless of your bounty, and you still have vendor and banking services available in the Outlaws Refuges. If you want to play Orsinium, go ahead; you should find that, overall, your experience is not drastically hampered by your bounty. The only time you'll need to be careful is when you're in the city of Orsinium itself, and if you enter the city through the Outlaws Refuge, you'll be able to offload all your vendor trash, gold and other gear at the Merchant and Banker before going into the city itself, reducing the overall impact if you get caught and killed by a guard.

    And finally, since it's been a while since I last mentioned it, I wanted to promote the idea of Community Service, in which you would complete quests to reduce your bounty rather than paying gold or just waiting for it to decay. I think in your situation this would work quite well; as long as you complete a Community Service quest every two hours, the rest of your time is free for you to do what you want without bring chased around by the guards.

    Wow, @Enodoc I had no idea this proposal already exists.
    I made a similar suggestion in my Justice System Concept thread, where people that get apprehended get a Bail Bondsman to pay off their bounty in their stead.

    There is also one more detail in it that would prevent such a massive accumulation of bounty:
    • Whenever a Fugitive Criminal gains a bounty, there is a chance that a Guard accompanied by two Hounds will be spawned and engage the Criminal. The chance is proportional to the heat (higher heat will have a higher chance).

    Let's take a second and be honest here, @Smasherx74 .
    There is no way you could legitimately accumulate such a high bounty in such a low period of time.
    What you did was more than just a "killing spree in Mournhold".
    You know it.
    I know it.
    Everyone in this thread with a 2kk bounty knows it.

    At least other people that abuse the Justice System for their own personal gain are smart enough to do it on their alts, which they can then delete along with the bounty.

    You have plenty of options, as many have said. You can still play Orsinium, even with such a high bounty. You can still vendor goods in Outlaw Refuges. You can also bank your items there.

    Or you can simply make a new character, and enjoy your DLCs with a fresh character. No bounty. It IS a scaled zone, after all.

    You see, ZOS has given you plenty options to play how you want.
    Your choices are your own.

    This thread seems to have run its course so we're going to close it. There's a lot of baiting and flaming going on, both of which are against community rules. Be sure to keep it civil and constructive even when your posting. Even if you don't agree with someone, that doesn't mean it's okay to attack them.
