I place a fair few bounties each day and Respo has made it increasingly difficult. This is more of an issue than a bug.

Go to the newspaper and click Bounties...

If you click "Put a bounty on someone" it should really take you to the page needed to actually place the bounty.
Instead you come to another page that gives you the option to "Place a Bounty"...

The above page is just unnecessary fluff and putting another step into the game that isn't needed. The above information would be better suited in a tutorial that you can close on the bounty page.

Clicking "Place a Bounty" gets you to the page you wanted all along.
This page also has an error. Bottom left it gives you two options for making the bounty anonymous. Only the Yes option is needed. If you leave it blank and go to the next page the bounty is not anonymous. So the No option is not needed.
If both options are left and it's made that you must choose, this is again adding another click that is not needed.

Yes you can place a bounty direct from a profile and it skips the first two steps but if that is the method we're supposed to use, the entire route from the newspaper needs to be removed. Also when flying the only way to place a bounty is via the newspaper.

The only issue I see here is that "No" (anonymous) should be selected by default. All steps are needed and have a purpose in my opinion.

Surely the information on the second image could be placed inside a tutorial that shows on the third image?
That way it can be an option to shut it down. Any player that has placed a couple of bounties will no longer need or read that information.
It is a page that when you reach you just rush to click the next link to get you to the actual bounty page itself.

Ched puts that in at the request of flex, just to slow you down patsy ;-)

For the record, I completely agree, surely if you click out a bounty on someone, you have decided to place a bounty, make that section a tutorial and save the clicks

I placed 1 bounty today and could not adjust from 1/10 to any other amount of bounties..i tried both on laptop and on my samsung S9 ..then i left page ,,asked in faction what i did wrong..or maybe bugged..
I check again seems i added 10 bounties..thats weird because log showed i only placed 1 bounty. ..saved me money,,however i rather like to see it work properly...i never wanted to place 10x..due to that i could not bounty anybody else..if i wanted

Here is today log : 17:44:43 - 19/01/22 You anonymously placed 1x $5,000 bounties on AnthonyZISM for a cost of $10,000 : Bla.bla.bla

At this point i have 9 unclaimed bounties of 5k

If you have... 9 unclaimed bounties, you won't be able to adjust it.

Would you like to place a bounty on someone? You can have up to 10 active bounties at any one time and any unclaimed bounties will expire after 7 days without a refund.

And why would you bump a 7yr old closed thread?
