The only issues I've ever had with blind bidding in the past was officer corruption and collusion. This was in a WoW guild I was in on live. The current officers in my EQ guild are all solid and I want to say the majority of the guild have faith in their integrity. I see this as being a non-issue. The set item prices just weren't moving dkp. It was very difficult for consistent and loyal, but just not 100% raiders to get items they really wanted. The blind bidding system is really moving the dkp, it's fun, and people are able to get items they want by bidding more. One of the best changes we've made and I see it aiding in keeping our guild together for the future expansions.

There's a ton of different variants and rules surrounding DKP systems. A simple decay system would prevent DKP buildup with set item prices. Or you can go for a suicide kings type of system. Bidding is perfectly fine too but I prefer when its out in the open and not blind. I've been in several guilds over the years with open bids in /gu and it works great. I like as much transparency as possible so there's no question whether or not someone is being shady behind the scenes.
I've said before and I'll say again. I wouldn't trust myself to be fair if I got to decide who gets loot. I would absolutely without question be biased in favor of my friends and people I liked more than those who might deserve it more. So that being the case I find it a little ridiculous for anyone to expect me to completely trust a random elf council more than I'd trust myself with the same job.
