Bounty in Bounty Hunting

I honestly don't know IF there is a consideration by Intrepid to literally add bounties for the heads of the corrupted. Perhaps @Jahlon has some clarification? Now that Corrupted and Bounty Hunters are fairly equal in combat and penalties - what is the incentive to collect that head or a group of heads? In other words, as a potential bounty hunter, I would like to see Mayors, Guilds, or Factions offer bounties (as in AOC money) for completion of such a mission. The more corrupt, the higher the level, the higher the virtual AOC cash incentive? I submit, this is a counterbalance. Loot drops go both ways - so what's the incentive here. Otherwise, take the bounty out of bounty hunters. I realize some may view this as virtual cash farming.... Any updates or insight appreciated. Palex.

Taverns are one of the locations that bounties will be posted. As players gain corruption, taverns may offer bounties to eliminate those players; or have a specific area cleared of problem players, thus giving a POI (point of interest) on the world map.
Opponents would say I’m whining. Instead, I would think they’d say, ‘you want to go bro - bring it on.’ Likewise, my position is to goad the gankers and zerkers are to ‘dance or go home.’ No other skill should collect virtual cash as the headhunters for justice in Verra. The populace of Verra must reward faithfulness and fidelity as her defender or, once again, the world will see hell. More gates created for the next rebirth in thousands of years. Will corruption ever stop? Continued thoughts and opinions are welcome. Palex.
Friends just kill friends to pick up the bounty. CCP tweaked the system in Eve a bit, but it did turn out quite broken.
For bounty hunters the reward is dropped gear from corrupted. The bounty hunters do not drop gear.
There are also PvP seasons, and there may very well be a reward for the Bounty Hunters based on their performance, we will have to wait to see.

Dropping gear would be prize enough, if the player has not already decanted gear.
Locating on the map while "red" and getting some kind of reward would be cool.
But outright targeting a player by a clan putting a bounty on their head without real due cause might be an abusable tool
I agree. But usually gankers and griefers are bullys by nature? It may release certain endorphins. You think?
(edit) Not to spam this thread. One way to keep Bounty Hunter's on the 'straight and narrow' is to cap their own corruption. IF you are a super butt kicker in a Military Node as a Bounty Hunter, you quickly loose reputation if you become corrupted (let's say) more than once? Hence, you become more of a lowly Highwayman. Make sense?
