    Confirm Cost: $8,070,722,374,627
    Note: this will be the 24th hit on this mobster in the last day or so.
    That is on a level 232 account that is 23 days old. The base bounty on this player is $6.01 billion.
    This is totally absurd! This is not the 1st time that I have seen this kind of situation, either. What the heck is going on? I know of many players with much higher base bounties who have been chain listed repeatedly and never reached $8 trillion. I have personally listed a player with a base of over $14 billion at least 50 times in succession & not even spent $4 trillion TOTAL. That $8 trillion bounty is an insult to every player who has ever been chain listed. According to my calculations it would require a base hitlist of $1.196 trillion to attain that confirm cost on the 24th hit.

    It has happened on more than one account. I do not have the link for the other recent one I saw that was $13 trillion confirm cost on a 5 day old account. I did do a ticket on both, though.

    For players under lvl 300 with each hit they current prize is doubled.
    Above 300 it goes up only with 25% of their base bounty in LCN.

    Then something like that, anyway under lvl 300 the price goes up exponentially.

    I chainlisted a lower level player over 20 times and his bounty started at a similar level and never got anywhere near 1 trillion

    Maybe it wasn't a new player just someone with an older account ??

    The account I mentioned in my example was 23 days old. One of the other accounts I saw irregularities on was only 5 days old when it had a bounty of over $11 trillion.

    I wonder if this is a new implementation by Kano like late last week then they made protection till 60 days , instead of the 30 days that has been in effect for some time now, but what do I know I only play the games :p hmmmmm

    If it was, surely @mi7ch would have told us, lack of feedback on threads in this area is annoying

    Just finished confirming with the developers that there is nothing untoward happening with this particular account. Everything is above board and well in line with our systems. As @Gazember postulated, there is indeed a different multiplayer for accounts under a certain level.

    That particular mechanic has been in place for a while and is most certainly not a new addition.

    I saw this happening years ago, but don't bothered then to find out the formula, just waited until that player reached lvl 300. If this was a new implementation, kano had more clue about now :).

    If the 24th hit is $8,070,722,374,627 for a base bounty of $6.01 billion, then with each hit the low levels the price goes up 1.35 times of their current bounty. ( 1 min to calculate with www.wolframalpha.com )
