Bounty hunted bug

There is some type of bug with Bounty Hunted. When I’m logged in and in a PvP zone. I get the Bounty Hunted buff I swear every 10-15 minutes max.

Every time I get it, I have to log off or hearth to clear it. I don’t understand how it’s fun for a player to have to log every 10-15 minutes. I’m a Rogue, having the buff defeats the purpose of my class.

Can Bounty Hunted be fixed or just removed? Even before I got the Alliance Slayer title, when the quest came up it would not let me decline it. This seems so bugged and not worth it. I’ll give the title up if Bounty Hunted is removed from the game.

I saw this happening to another rogue a few weeks ago. They were however participating quite a bit in PvP combat throughout the zone. Bounty Hunted can happen at any time after you have an Assassin buff. Sounds like a string of bad luck. If you get the Assassin buff and do better at surviving than everyone else in the zone, your odds are even higher.

Thank you for the comment. When I get Bounty Hunted and log out, when I log back in I have lost my 20% verse and 20% speed buff but I still have my Assassin buff. It seems like because of this, I always have active that random chance to get Bounty Hunted and since I never die because I sprint off to a spot to log in stealth, my chances are super high to get Bounty Hunted. For me, this leads to getting Bounty Hunted roughly every 10-15 minutes or less.

I’m not sure about how it effects other classes, but as a Rogue it ruins my class and forces me to relog so many times while PvPing that I just give up and log for hours or the rest of the day. Pretty annoying and not fun heh.

Have a wonderful day mighty Warrior of renown.

Edit: I checked and I cannot cancel the Assassin buff. This means that roughly every 10 people I kill in PvP I have to purposely kill myself or every 10-15 minutes I’ll get Bounty Hunted and be forced to log or hearth.

Is this not ridiculous? I actually get punished for doing well in world PvP!

Edit: Just timed it, Bounty Hunted in 10 minutes exactly. Timed it again, I killed 2 people and was Bounty Hunted in 5 minutes exactly. Killed 3, Bounty Hunted in 9 minutes. Killed 4, Bounty Hunted in 8 minutes. Killed 1, Bounty Hunted in 2 minutes!

It seems like it doesn’t matter how many players you kill. Like Thecheat pointed out, if you have the Assassin buff you have a random change to get Bounty Hunted and this chance is increased the longer you live while having the Assassin buff. So it confirms that we are punished for being good at PvP which sounds counter productive. We have to purposely kill ourselves…

Edit: I was just Bounty Hunted without even having the Assassin buff. So the system is straight broken and seems to be targeting me. I can’t play more than 15 minutes without being required to log or kill myself. This is pathetic.
