Bounty Hunter System

This seems like it would be abused to dodge unpopular duties in mentor roulette.
If they don't change mentor queue this would just lead to mentors checking the bounty list to see if anyone is doing an ex before queueing up for their dumb mount.

So, if this were to take off… you add 1 person to a queue. Still need 2 to 6 more. To add to what VerdeLuck is stating; unpopular duties would take longer to fill, if even at all now that you’d be able to cherry pick the content. Good luck finding people patient and willing enough to help with specific content and add a long queue on top of that content

This is an interesting point, however, if said mentor would be willing to dodge that content because they aren't willing to do it this would be a better outcome than to put him in a duty he will most certainly bail on and or fail at. I'm not sure if this behavior would actually be detrimental or beneficial TBH lol. (Trapping players is never the answer)

Yes, you would need 2 or 6 more, and so as you sit in the queue the bounty will continue to increase. I am certain one of two things will happen, either the bounty will reach to the millions and become irresistible so it will fill, or the content is so brutal that there is noone willing to take it up and eventually the person will give up on it.

However, in spite of this, the net result is a positive one because it significantly increased the odds for the player to run the content and clear it. Where as right now, that content will not run, in the case it does miraculously run theres a high chance of failure and or dodging, and even less incentive for veteran players to seek out this sort of thrill.

Personally, I like to help out with hard duties, it makes the game fun, but even if I were to be extremely proactive at it and seek them out I'm pretty sure that 99% of the time I wouldn't even be aware of someone trying to clear something because they are queued in the DF and I have no way of knowing. The most vulnerable population to this would be the newest players, theoretically the ones we should work hardest at to make sure they have a good time and stay around.
