    just AFK somewhere for like 3 ~ 4 hours or do quests without going to a main town where theirs guards, and your bouty would be gone
    I'm outta here

    bounty clears with time even when offline (well at least on PC, should be the same on consoles). Just make an alt and play that one while the bounty clears up by itself.


    You could also go away from any town and just grind on random mobs in the field.

    7k is quite a big chunk of gold for a newly released game, well you know what I mean, perhaps do some grinding and wait for the bounty to decay, granted it will take several hours.

    That seems like a really big bounty.

    Do what others have said: either AFK somewhere or do quests away from towns/guards for a while.

    Also, on PC we have an option to prevent attacking innocents. Should be in your settings somewhere.

    Go to Cyrodiil, do a dungeon, roll an alt... Leave the bounty to decay overnight. Treat is as a learning experience. :) It's unlikely anyone will give you money.

    First off, if you have 7K bounty, and you need to get rid of it, follow the following procedure:

    Step 1: Stay away from guards, and do some delves or other such stuff. If you attack mobs within 2-4 levels of your level, you should get gold, which can help pay down the bounty
    Step 2: Go to your settings and turn on the option to prevent attacking innocents. If you can't do so with a bounty, I hope ZOS both has a valid excuse and has a lot of flame resistance.
    Step 3: In regards to the character in question, did you commit those crimes yourself? Or did you acquire that bounty while you were sleeping? If you acquired that bounty with no recent memory of crimes committed, I think you might want to contact Customer Support so they can see if your account's been compromised. If you know you committed those crimes yourself, skip to Step 4.
    Step 4: When you can afford to pay off your bounty and your threat meter is low enough that you won't get any guards attacking you, approach a guard and pay it off. However, if you have high latency, just wait until bounty is cleared, because you only have 20 seconds to pay it before they attack you.
    If you can't handle the heat...stay out of the kitchen!

    Wait till you get a 100k bounty that is always fun and remember to bank your gold while waiting bounties out, has even if you don't have enough on you the guards still take gold

    There is a setting called prevent attacking innocents that you can turn on to avoid that

    But to get a 7k bounty, you must have went on a murder spree haha

    Go farm some mobs wait till it goes down. Then if you want sneak into a fence area from outside of town and pay it off.

    Another option is to create a second character, bounty is tied to the character, not account. Play that character for now, if you get in trouble on that one, hopefully your bounty wore off by then ;) of course, make sure you change the settings so you can't attack innocents

    Or go to Cyrodiil. You can PvE or PvP there with a bounty, there is no justice system in Cyrodiil

    I let my 6 year old run around for a bit while I was doing some tidying. Ended up coming back to like a 3k bounty. Just did missions in uninhabited areas, was easy to get rid of.

    Your posts also sound like an mmo might not be quite what you're looking for pal.

    I doubt anyone is just going to give you gold. Make another character and play that one til its gone.

    Stay out of towns and quest out in the world. Sorry, but there are consequences to randomly attacking innocent people in this game. At least the bounty does degrade over time.

    I don't know how you "accidentalky" got a 6k bounty, moved up to 7k at some point. I purposefully stole from several people and killed 20 npcs, only got 2k

    Your character has to be online I believe. Your bounty will not go down in real time, only online time.

    Honestly this is something you're just going to have to deal with and learn from. This is one of the very few consequences for ones actions in ESO, and it's a very good one. Others have given you plenty of good advice what to do. In the long run 3-4 hours is not very long, especially not from an MMO point of view. Just think of it as a life-lesson, you'll get past it in a day or two, worry not :smile:
    If you can be anything, be kind.

    That's not true - your bounty degrades while you're offline.

    No, I believe it will go down in real time. Im almost certain it has for me... I think the problem is the amount is so high. I have heard it goes down approx 400 gold per hour so it can take a while for 7000 bounty to disappear..

    If you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime. or at least... don't get caught... ;)

    If one does find that in an moment of joker-inspired madness they racked up a hefty bounty...

    One can always stay away from towns, find dwelves, and hunt monsters for loot (remember, the outlaw refugee also has a merchant to sell non-stolen stuff to) to help get your bounty fee together.

    And after level 10, there is cyrodil, where the law never comes, and all thieves, robbers and murderers will be welcome to turn their criminal activities to the enemy...

    And finally, there is the option of making an alt in another alliance, and play that one until the law forgets about your mains misdeeds if one chooses so.

    There, three options to deal with bounties...
