Stated yet paid for head

Hey Admin team

I know we've gone back and forth on this a bit but 200 chars isn't enough to explain!

I'd been hitting the safe spot in Del passage on my Red a lot over the last two days - seems to be about four or five toons there afk macroing.

My thief was doing a good trade there before I figured my red would be faster. Every now and again one of the players would be at the keyboard and put up a fight - about a dozen hours ago I was out numbered and statted (fair play - I was griefing).

Once I got my stats back I kept hitting them - but on my last run was killed. I went AFK (dinner time!) and came back to an offer on my head. I made a counter offer which was accepted.

What I didn't know at the time - but could see as I log my journal - was that they had already statted me. It seems that if you make an offer on a head, if the player doesn't reply you can cancel and stat, but the offer box still remains in play.

Admin - I've been told a couple of times that this must just be another of my heads out there. This just isn't the case - I carefully track how often I die and get statted, and there are no unused heads out there of mine.

Absolutely don't mind getting statted - particularly because I was griefing the same group for so long - but frustrating to pay for my head and still lose stats.

right on ya
next time you get statted, test the theory by taking your own head to the bounty hunter npc with your alt char
send an offer first, then re-stat yourself and see if youre still able to buy the head :D
ill do the same if i ever get statted but frankly it's not likely to happen

this happened today i offered a red his head for 5k and he didn't respond .
after about 3 hrs i turned the head in after another attempt at a bounty.
about an hr later a message popes up that i had received the 5k bounty.... sure enough the check was there.
but i had already stated him. i assume he was afk and the offer window was left open.

This happened to me when I was red. 10 mins after my death I get the screen asking if I wanted to accept an offer for 10k, I thought about this for about 10 seconds and clicked accept. In that 10 seconds I was statted and then paid 10k to the person that did it.
