A Slight Change to the Bounty System

Hello!
If you’ve noticed, the bounty system that was recently re-added is pretty crazy. Many people have been gaining points in the thousands per game because people are constantly bountying them! This is a bit much to me. The bounty system definitely should not be removed, but it should be reduced to be more logical and fairer.

Currently, when lots of people bounty all their points on someone and then someone gains all those points, there are people with a lot more points than they should have. It makes it far too easy to get the harder point achievements, like 10 000! I always thought that achievement should be really hard to achieve, and only 2 people managed to do it before the re-addition of bounty (I think, and kudos to them).

I like being able to bounty points on people. But being able to have a total bounty on yourself of 15 000 - 20 000 is far too much. I think one of the most reasonable ways to remove massive bounties on people while still keeping a nice bounty system is making it so each player can bounty only 1 000 points on a single person during a game. Of course, the next game or in a different server they could bounty more, but this prevents it from growing at an exceedingly large rate.

Sorry if the colour is bad on Flexile Green, not sure if it's default or black :p Tell me if it's wrong ! :)

I like this idea, but I think 1000 is still a little too much. Maybe 500 as the maximum?

I used 1000 as a random number, I don't really care what it is as long as it's not infinite :p
Oh, alright then. Also, I have a question. Of you bounty on someone, and they win, do you get your points back?

If the person you bountied points on wins, then the person you bountied the points on earns those points.

Meh, the Bounty-ing fad will probably die out in a few weeks. I don't expect this craziness to last for over a month. People are getting used to the new update and eager to bounty their points. I say we monitor this for a few weeks (Much like we did with the OP potion sponsoring) and see how it goes for now.

I already know that, :p

No, you do not get your points back.

Well, it will never die down with big youtubers. They will always get bountied because people can, and they will pile up points to the point where they have 10's of thousands, even if they aren't good at the game and their fanboys bring them through.

I gain points rapidly and I don't enjoy having them
I prefer to keep the bounty as it is if I need to quickly go in a server and get rid of my points

Well, you can still easily get rid of your points you just have to bounty it on more than one player instead of piling it all onto one person.
