I came to conclusion, shared by many, that dkp on a content locked server like p99 is kind of pointless. DKP is useful when content is flying by, and you want to make sure you have points to get items before the game (and your guild) moves on.
On p99, burn out and turnover is so high, and again, the content is locked at Velious, so really, dkp is an unnecessary complication, needless work for the officers. Basically, if you can commit to a year (maximum) of heavy playing, you will get the itemz you want as long as you are in a guild owning content.
(Just to reaffirm how messed up I am, "a year of heavy playing" sounds modest to me. But during live, everyone was playing heavy in the top guilds, and you only had ~6 months before the ancient runed orcish reamer you wanted was going to be obsolete, so playing the DKP game was crucial to getting the pixels. Just not a factor on p99. Just put in your time, be a good guildie, especially tracking and other skullfucking jobs like coth bitch etc, and you will get...... the pixels of your dreams)
edit: and oh yeah, don't join a zerg guild. Moar members = moar mouths to feed. Since the mighty BDA has left the building, not sure what non-zerg guilds are left. The ideal is to join a guild whose actual raiding force at any given time is well south of 200 people.
