Bounty's seem pointless?

[jlo_xyloto]

I've been wanting the bounty system back for a while, but the fact only spectators can place them. We should be able to place them as players, as then we can get something out of placing them except revenge. It should be like a gambling system,say there's 4 players left, and I think I can kill someone before anyone else does, then I could gamble 100 of my points to try and win 200 ,the opponent could see this and even put a bounty of a bigger amount on my head! This would make games and fights really important, and really dramatic if people went "All-In" with every point they have to risk winning double. I think that'd be an amazing improvement to the servers, pro's would have to play even harder, and massive changes would always be happening, every player would have an opportunity to steal peoples bounties and claim the points for themselves! Spectators aren't even that involved and this version is a waste of the amazing concept of bounties. Players should be allowed to bounty each other.

It's fine how it is now.

If somethings not broken, why fix it?

Because that'd make it a million times better, that's why, players and spectators should be able to bounty, simple as

Players shouldn't be able to bounty, they could give points to their friends and it wouldn't be legit. Only spectators should be able to place bounty.

No I disagree, only spectators should be allowed to.

Spectators can do exactly the same to benefit their mates so your point makes no sense.

Well you would wouldn't you, because unless bloody Elgoldo or a mod makes a suggestion then no one thinks it's any good, if ChadTheDJ made my point, you'd all say it was amazing.

No.. People would just hit someone a lot, put a huge bounty, and then kill them with a single arrow.
And besides that, it gives no sense for tributes to be able to put bounties on someone. From Wikipedia: A bounty (from Latin bonitās, goodness) is a payment or reward often offered by a group as an incentive for the accomplishment of a task by someone usually not associated with the group.

It does actually, if I were to place bounty on my friend while we were not spectators and we were in deathamtch and I let him kill me he'd get all the points. If I were a spectator and placed bounty on my friend who is in-game there is no guarantee that he will win.

if you were a spectator and your mate was in dmatch and he out-geared them , you could put points on the other and your mate would kill them and get them. you could do this before he killed any opponent near to him. So either way people could take advantage of it.

You're right but it would be easier to take advantage of it with your idea rather then the way it is now.

Sorry that the Wikipedia definition of everything determines what it's like in Minecraft. Let me just Wiki Diamond Sword and see what they look like in real life...
