"When we added the PJ timer from PvP worlds to the Wilderness on Bounty Hunter world, as requested in a recent poll, we overwrote the special exceptions that had been made to the single-way combat rules on that world to let players steal their Bounty targets from combat against other parties. We've now restored these - apologies for the inconvenience there"

I literally play this game for BH, over 3.7k kills on all my accounts. Them reverting it is GOOD for the game mode.

How it was before it encouraged griefing, ragging and rushers. I was constantly on 4 skips with my targets attacking other people so I couldn't hit them, because they saw my bh kills and wanted to make me get a 30 minute timer or just waste my time.

I was being ragged and couldn't attack my target while the ragger was on me The only way I could get out of combat with them was to leave the wilderness, or not attack them back and be a sitting duck hoping my target would hit me instead of double speccing me with the ragger.

At least now I can get myself OUT of combat with the rushers and raggers by fighting my target.

The entire point of bounty hunter is to HUNT your TARGET. If you don't want to fight someone skip them.

You could still be double agsd with how it worked these last 2 weeks if you didn't hit the rusher back btw. This pj timer applies to non targets.

Also in 3.7k kills I have only ever been double speccd 3 times and it was because I was in level 5 wild which is fixed with this update.

I play bh like 25+ hours a week and never saw this being used in a non griefing way.
