Fairness is what you make of it; if everyone involved goes home satisfied, then the system's fair. Different people like different systems, nothing new there.
My take: You want to pay me a form of currency for showing up when scheduled and following your orders? Sounds like a job if you ask me. If you want an employee, the only currency I'll accept is dollars. Imaginary DKP currency doesn't cut it. I won't join any guild that uses it and will immediately disband from a guild which transitions to it. Rather than turning my video game into a second job, I prefer awarding items to whoever most deserves them, or even straight /random over pseudo currency. Of course I don't much like raiding in the first place, and DKP systems tend to be designed to encourage folks into raiding more often than they otherwise would, leading to my distaste for those types of systems. I've nothing against folks who like DKP systems, but they aren't for me.
