Proposal
I propose to allow any player to place a bounty on another player with restrictions:

-level restrictions
-credit amount limitations to whole numbers so no identification can be done
-if it is a none jedi then it can only be 1 BH (maybe 2) that can grab same target-
-if the bounty was placed without a deathblow in GCW being the cause then no decay on death is applied
-Non Death Blow bounties can only be applied to the same player a certain number of times per week (you guys decide, maybe once a day or once a week)
(This will prevent non pvpers from suffering any hardships other than a 45 second fight in order for BH to attack and DB and the clone/walk back to where they were being a max of what, 5 mins away from somewhere? Call it time-gating like any other collection that is hard to find and even then this may even be decided to be once a day or once a week and EVEN THEN it is not like the same player will be receiving daily bounties unless they are jerks and hated by a lot of people and in that case well.. they may deserve it?)
Justification
PVP is a big part of this game and Bounty hunting is just as big. If we are to remain true to the lore then Bounty hunters should hunt others and not just Jedi or fighters. As stated above, if you don't like to pvp you can just take the death without any penalty except a bit of time lost and that is it).
Motivation
Love for PVP! Love for Bounty Hunter Profession! Love for Star Wars lore! Love for this server! It will surely make this server even more unique than it already is and in a very positive way!
any way to be able to put bounties on someone other than them deathblowing you?
would be nice and fun. i mean, no one would be safe but its not like in this game dying is game breaking so they should totally implement bounty capabilities for anyone/everyone if it doesnt already exist (this of course can be put with level restrictions to save ENTs, etc.)

ok, so lets require every 5th bounty to be collected in space. it would be more fun that way. and after all space is an iconic aspect of the star wars universe.
 
Down vote. You already have Padawans and Smugglers you can hunt on the boards with more coming in the future. Notice these are are Opt In for both. Also PvP is a minority part of the the game and Ornj himself has posted that SWG is a PvE game. Just overall bad idea that others have covered why already. (and I enjoy running pvp smuggler quests and still say this is a bad idea)
 
I do not think anyone should just be able to place a bounty on anyone without some sort of trigger.

Jedi bounties are a population control via the vis system.

PvP bounties allow for a form of revenge if you're unable to kill a target, and create more content for bounty hunters as it is.

Placing bounties without a triggering event (pvp death, vis counter) and especially placing them on non combat characters sounds like even with restrictions it would breed toxicity and just promote the "ruin everyones fun for your own enjoyment" bullying type of gameplay.

if such a system were to exist, there should be some kind of opt in to being able to just place a bounty on someone.

if the "opt in" is simply logging into the game, it's going to drive alot of people away.
