Slipknot's post about getting paid for kills by HTC may well be one of the most moronic "request" I've ever seen posted on the wishlist - but it did make me think of something else that might be interesting, at least conceptually.
There are those that are always complaining that they can't seem to find a good fight, who complain that everyone is too concerned about saving their own skin to want to "risk" fighting them.
But what if those players who are complaining that they can't seem to find a good fight could opt to put up a bounty on themselves, by paying HTC an express amount of money that is to be used to payoff the guys who get a kill on them? Let me explain by way of example - Joe goes to the HTC website and puts 20 bucks in his bounty account, which gets charged to his registered creditcard. When he next goes to launch a flight in game, he can choose to enter an amount up to his remaining balance that would be the "bounty amount" if he's killed in this flight. (Or he can choose to not have a bounty on this flight, as well, which should probably be the default.)
Let's say he chooses 50 cents.
Now, when he launches, his icon shows a bounty code to enemy players - for example, it shows a cents symbol if the bounty is less than 50 cents, a $ symbol if it's less than $1.50, and perhaps $$ if it's more than a $1.50 (or some such - you get the idea). Maybe at some point - or perhaps if he so chooses - at some it shows his name to enemy players. Or maybe either by choice or if he exceeds a certain amount, his radar dot to other players is different - perhaps it's a different color, or perhaps it's shown even outside the radar rings, etc.
In short, it would be an idea that might give those who feel that the fight is everything a way to incentive other players to give them what they most enjoy - a fight regardless of odds. On similar lines to the Red Baron having his aircraft painted red.
Just thinking out loud...
