I can't imagine myself joining one of the top five raiding guilds on the server and being surprised when I'm not able to get phat lewts. OP, you have a gamer wife and a life? Sweet dude, stop caring about pixels so much and play for fun instead. Your feelings of reward shouldn't be as dependent on a raiding guild as it obviously has. Unlike velious on live where I was in a top raiding guild, I'm in that same boat today. I don't expect to get any further than ntov, once I actually get the time, in perhaps a year.
As hilariously bad as Detoxx sounds for a guild leader I see no problem with most their policies, APART from the loot council. A loot council should be serving a single purpose, my friends, and that's to get one or few characters properly geared just enough to raid, or more often raid new targets, not to cater. DKP should be the rule, not the exception. Your 25% minumum 30-day rule sounds more than reasonable to me, so props for that. But the loot council/DKP "hybrid system" should be looked over again. A small and probably bad suggestion, at the very least, for items which are not raid critical (MT items), you could consider open, anonymous guild voting polls on your private forum for what you currently have on your loot council spreadsheet.
my 2cp. and my shitposting for both sides.
It's been years - actually more than a decade - since I've been in the big and serious raiding scene, but I see a lot of you're-doing-it-wrong in p99 nonetheless.
