PK/Bounty System Suggestion

PK and Bounty Hunting System Overview
This system introduces a dynamic balance between player-versus-player (PvP) combat and accountability, creating a self-regulating ecosystem for open-world interactions.
How It Works:
Player Killing
• If a player attacks and kills another player who is not in PK mode (i.e., not actively flagged for PvP), their name will turn red as a sign of their transgression.
• Each successive PK increases the “red” player’s negative status, further darkening their name and applying a stacking stat penalty as well as being visible to the community as a "Be On the Look Out" system.
• The more players they kill, the more their stats decrease, making them weaker over time as a deterrent to griefing or targeting lower-level players.
Bounty Hunting
• Players who successfully defeat a red-named player will see their own name turn blue, marking them as a bounty hunter.
• As a reward for taking down these red-named offenders, blue-named players will receive a small stacking renown buff for each red-named player they defeat. This buff is subtle but impactful enough to incentivize hunting red-named players as well as visible to the community to know who the best Bounty Hunters are.
Why It Works:
• Discourages Unfair PKing: Players thinking about attacking others unprovoked will need to weigh the consequences of becoming weaker with every kill.
• Promotes Fair PvP: Players interested in PvP combat can still engage in it without overly disrupting lower-level players focused on farming or leveling.
• Encourages Bounty Hunting: By offering a reward system for taking down red-named players, this creates a player-driven bounty hunting mechanic that adds depth and excitement to the game.
Core Philosophy:
This system promotes a balanced PvP experience by creating consequences for disruptive behavior while rewarding players who protect others or take on the challenge of hunting red-named players. It fosters a healthier game environment where open-world PvP feels fair, engaging, and rewarding without devolving into chaos.
