And how many of those players are actually playing in open where you can actually catch them?
I've posted a potential solution a few times now.
The list only contains pilots who have committed a crime in open and they drop off the list if they log off or switch to solo. The list is local to open or the group you're playing in. Their last known location is only updated shortly after they have been spotted via a reported crime or scanned by a player or npc (in open).
Exactly this. Hunting for PC bounties is already mostly meaningless. This update does nothing to change that.
And if a player still wants to accumulate a huge Fed bounty, they can still do it by system-hopping. They just have to actually try, now.
Eh? Are people seriously think a Million (or 2, or 3, or 4 or how many faction someone made angry) is not worth anything? If you think bounty Hunting is only worth something when you get 50 MIllionen for every Kill then... oh well, I don't bloody know what to say.
People are strange.

When I took out ItchyNipples and his buddy, it was more or less about the challenge than the bounty. The bounty was more or less a bonus for taking out a player on a killing/Griefing/whateveryouwanttocallit streak. It was a testament to my Wing's skills and abilities to theirs.
The bounties, are an indicator as to how dangerous and fun of a target they can be. There is always going to be someone better than you, why not take them on?

Are you having trouble with THE CODE? The Code is a pirate group that has a stranglehold on Lave and surrounding systems.
Dark Echo is waging war on THE CODE. Dark Echo is a merc group seeking for members.
Our goal is to push back the pirate menace and make Lave and it's neighboring systems safe for traders, colonist, and fellow pilots.
If you are interested in applying, go to this link http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkEcho/.

There are certainly some people with large bounties and skill, but one implies exactly nothing of the other.
How can something die, that never even existed?
Bounty hunting players is basically not a thing, because everyone with the exceptions of a few role players is clean as they can pay their bounty off any time.
When the crime update is implemented and bounties become a bit more persistent bounty hunting can begin in the first place. The bounties won't even need to be high to encourage bounty hunters to do their job. Being able to identify criminals as such is absolutely sufficient, multi-million bounties are not necessary.

I believe that I (implicitly, anyway) already did so. No surprise to me that Michael chose not to respond to that post.
We need a module that just gives us the information and list of bounties on one of the panels. That also updates frequently, that'll stir things up.

is this a complaint at the bounties been limited or that the devs have called out the exploit he was championing as being planned gameplay as being..... an exploit... (much like combat logging)
either way, I must say I think both issues being cleared up will be for the good of the game.

You mean "the day exploiting bounty mechanics for real money died"? Is this bad? Is this thread overly dramatic, mostly ridiculous and badly informed?

Good idea!!
I would suggest, in those lines, a module that gives you the top 10 bounties: CMDR NAME, Bounty, System, Last station docked -10 light years around your current position, OF PLAYERS CURRENTLY ON LINE AND IN OPEN!!!
That would really fix bounty hunting....let the Hunt begins..
Wow I step away after making a post that was meant to be a little bit of humour injected into the bleakness of this forum..
I will remember to make future posts with a humour hashtag
Probably a good idea (with no body language to read, and the butt-hurt we have all seen vocalized in this forum, it's impossible to know when someone is serious or not without some kind of cue

Amended.
I was going to post this instead
But not enough people would recognise Dog and the image was pretty low grade.
You cant go wrong with a pining Boba fett
to be fair saying the day bounty hunting died and posting nothing but a picture of a dejected looking Boba Fett and adding the letters R.I.P. kind of insinuated that you felt the new changes have taken something away from bounty hunting rather than a joke .. maybe you should have tried .. "why did the chicken cross the road? ..... because bounty Hunting has been Nurffed*" .. not funny either but at least it could be classed as a joke. < this means this post is also a joke
*Edit* - I just want to make it clear that I do not feel Bounty hunting has been Nurffed
