IMO this is exactly how the game should work. If commit a crime, you shouldn't be able to just get rid of it by paying. It was far too easy to stay on the right side of the law.  Being a criminal was all risk and no gain.

With powerplay, it's only a matter before you commit a crime either in self defence or assaulting other powerplay faction, and these bounties can soon pile up, making the game a whole lot more interesting. And with a whole lot of criminal missions and much greater gains for criminality, there just couldn't be a simple "pay off your bounty" system.

If you want an easy game, don't commit crimes, don't get into fights, don't do morally questionable missions, don't get involved in politics. Sounds boring as hell to me.
