Bounty Hunters

Last night during my drug induced haze, I was on antihistimines, antibiotics, and a prescribed sleeping pill, I had a dream of WoW which is rare since it has never happened before that I recall. So last night I dreamed I killed a horde player, and soon 3 bounty hunters were after me. I thought abou tit and decided to expand the idea since it is not a bad idea.
So imagine if you will someone is griefing a player much, much lower then their level. Lets say a 70 is killing players 30+ levels below them. Each time he kills said character, there is a small percent chance, lets say 2%, that bounty hunters, 2-4 of various classes and same level as the murderer, is sent out after the murderer when he is not expecting it. Again, lets say 2-4 hours after he committed the PK. The 70 is back in Outlands, questing when suddenly 3 humanoids of the same race as the one he killed, start attacking him mercilessly screaming things like "Soandso sent us to avenge his death!!!" or "We were hired by the family of soandso and your head is worth gold to us!" These would not just be plain ol mobs but work together well kind of like a small arena team. I think it would add a bit for players to get consquences of their actions and perhaps, just perhaps, leave those little lowbies alone on pvp servers. It is hard enough leveling without a 70 camping out in a 20's zone.
