Hey there,

Submitted this via the idea command but hadn't heard back, was
advised to post it here instead as this might be checked more often?
Anyways, the idea deals with newbies using the bounty hunting. My
idea is to lower/remove the time limit to get the hint of what
island the your contract-creature is located on. The hint does help
a lot, just being able to narrow it down, and gives a somewhat more
directed purpose to exploring rather than wandering aimlessly and
hoping not to get one-shotted by an aggressive.

Before I start let me say this is NOT a flame.

Nederland, the bounty hunter is not there as a newbie toy, it is
designed for players who know the game.
The option to find the location of the monsters was put in at an
hour interval to promote actually looking
for the monsters instead of just saying 'hey, where is it, i don't
know that one'

And where is the fun in trying to play the 'bounty hunter' if
there's no chance of being trounced by something you didn't know was
there?

you are welcome to turn on bounty channel and ask for help. while i
don't think bounties were invented specifically for higher level
people, or more experienced people, there is certainly an edge to
being the latter. however, asking for help is permitted, so you
should do that.
as far as giving more clues, frequently i can't find the monster
even after asking for help, and when that happens, i just stop
trying to do bounties and grind xp like god intended.
