The problem comes in when people raid for years and run out of things to spend dkp on. then it gets hoarded to the point that a person who actually now only plays once a month has a huge dkp lead over current active players and can log in on the nights he wants and take any loot he chooses then log back off til next loot time. Since you have no minimum RA to bid this is a very real issue.

You would have to work hard to identify for me the actual problem here and what time frame we are talking. AG has a dkp rot system to consider those who disappear for 2 years and come back for 1 night when something nice drops. For every month you don't raid anything at any time at least once you will be deducted 10% of your current total dkp.

So if someone shows up once a month and raids and gets a nice item...then great. We raid a LOT in AG. If someone attended every raid in AG they certainly would be hardcore...without a doubt. All hours, batphones are flying and content is dying. But none of it is required and if you show up to just one of those then you avoid rot.


I believe this shows that we value the person rather than what they "bring to the table" in a guild that is designed to be a raiding guild. We make no apologies about being a raiding guild and making everything available, but we don't push high end pressure and what ultimately leads to burnout. Patience and progressive activity is the key to sustainability.
