At least now we know where the pixels will go once something you don't have drops.

I hereby consider all roo retards informed on the loot situation in holocaust, prepare yourself to be snubbed on the finest of pixels for months to come. There are mains and alts that needs these items before you, once these pixels have been acquired the facade of charity may continue as usual.

God bless.
DKP doesn't work super well on red servers, as it rewards people just showing up for raids where dkp is awarded. It doesn't reward things like

-scouting/tracking mobs and enemy movements
-pvping for zone control and zone denial
-good players guiding weaker/new players
-controlling specific zones that are important for your guild
-teamwork and passing gear down rather than just selling/trading it
-people hoarding dkp/passing on rot upgrades because they want x prestige item.
-forum quest Public Relations. aka Smedy Spielberg productions
-funneling gear is harder for important classes that you need aka clerics, tanks, and pvp characters.

You can't expect to show up at raids and just clock in to be a body while others are doing the listed above tasks. Whoever does the above tasks will become your "core" players, and raid attendance is only a small percentage of what someone does for a guild.

Velious will change that in that specific classes like clerics, warriors, bards, skilled pullers, support characters, and pvp characters will need to be geared out faster than damage roles that will just need the best weapon and haste they can get for many fights. Guilds will also have a hard time retaining these classes as the most important raiding classes are high burnout classes and assuming multiple raiding guilds on server, the more likely they are to be poached by enemy guilds for pixel packages.
