To put this in perspective, I did some calculations. I've had that bounty for 2,541 days. If the rate of attack is the same average as it has been, my bounty will run out in 35 years, 7 months and 13 days. By that time I will have had a bounty on me for 42 years, 6 months and 29 days.
Really?
No your maths is way off. The bounty on you since 2013 has only 800 left out of 5000 and I'm doing my best to clear it for you😁😁😈
The other one has 484 shares left and will be done sooner
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He wasn't actually talking to me because told me this in chat prior which was what prompted me to post the correction. I think he wanted other people to know how smart he is.
Well really I don't think having a bounty or not changes much. If someone is attacking you, they are probably doing it daily anyways through SKL. It just seems absurd because barely anyone is attacking. I guess the only difference would be if your bounty had effects like double exp stripping, so those effects basically last forever right now. Though I suppose the max 500m with 5000 shares is pretty crazy, even when the game was really active.
Probably 90% of those were placed by Jackk just for gaining bounty stat.
At the end of the day, it's one of the biggest credit sinks--whilst also spreading those credits around nicely--especially if you're paying a tax to transfer the credits to someone else to place them, so that you can claim the bounties.
Also generally you can just press Q, attack a few times, and recover the exp. Being attacked doesn't do much damage to your exp if you just attack a few times. At least until we have other systems in place, like durability.
Overall, bounties should probably just have a changed cap, instead of being able to do 5000 shares, maybe cap it at like 100 shares. It still does it's job of punishment towards the bountied player (if that's the goal, which usually isn't), sinks credits, and spreads wealth... just doesn't last as long.
