were I forced to get even more involved in hunting down people solo.

You mean do a little pvp instead of hiding behind unlimited NPCs?

For those of you who are not in a tribunal or never have been,

Yes, please go on, I am eager to learn about this tribunal thingy, wise one.

they can be pretty useful for giving you a chance to prepare, as well get a general idea of just where your enemy is in the wild.

Oh, I didn't realize they were useful.

Tribunals can remove their bountymobs by not depositing money into their coffers.

This would be like responding to a complaint about necros being OP by saying "Necros can remove their undead armies from the game by just not making them in the first place!"

oh my god, that post is so mind-bogglingly stupid. Seriously, wtf?

The fact that you can create those long lists means that the bountymobs are not overpowered.

Not really. It means that A) I'm awesome, B) the Peacekeepers are inactive/inept, and C) I've either spent the time to drain their tribunal accounts (Boring for both them and me) or I'm only PvPing in wilderness areas in their territory.

Dulrik will never remove bounty NPCs, though I agree they should be.

If I played in a tribunal (say the peacekeepers) and someone were draining my coffers (say Turon) I would just keep a good bank acccount of my own and just deposit in a few obsidian when I logged in, or, better yet, when I thought the enemy was already in the city somewhere. Surprise!

Having the ability to drain tribunal accounts of their cash does not a solution make. Plus, there's the boredeom in the draining.

Grind vs. Grind.

The real mechanic is who can be more efficient: the money makers or the money takers.

I always believed that bounty NPCs are one of the worst implementations in this game, taking away all potential for pvp inside cities. Things like that lead the game at a point where pvp would happen ONLY in Teron.

And this is one of the stupidest quotes I have (repeatedly) read for a FANTASY GAME and not the real world. Beliefs like this can really turn a good game into "Sim's Tea-Party".
