This issue right here boggles me, and I cannot believe anyone would tolerate it.
During live, the *good* DKP guilds did 2 things to eliminate this very problem:
1) every few months, everyone's DKP points were "adjusted" to encourage spending + prevent discouragement among new members. The adjustment involved decreasing the points of people at the top and increasing the points of (active) players at the bottom, to get a smaller spread of points. So for example: player 1 (a veteran) is at top of DKP and has 1k points, player 2 is new and is at bottom and has only 100. The adjustment would subtract z% from player 1 and add z% to player 2, to make the gap between top and bottom smaller. This method is spread out across the whole (active) roster, so that only the players at the mean (500 dkp) would remain the same. The closer you are to that mean, the less the value of z. See how that works? This adjustment is done every few months, and is *extremely* easy to implement. It is an amazing frustration/drama eliminator

Are you kidding? Why would
anyone tolerate this? Whats the point of keeping DKP at all if you're just going to redistribute them every few months? Some guy comes and does all the heavy lifting and earns 4x as much DKP as another player, then you swoop in and "adjust" it by handing his hard earned points to a person who does far less. If I was in a guild that penalized me in this way, I would leave immediately. There is zero reason to get your DKP above the average since you're just going to lose it. Its a race to the bottom.
