You are also then retarding the guild's progress by spreading that loot across more individuals, so you effectively require twice as many people to advance at half the rate. Ultimately, this sort of setup discourages camaraderie because players do not feel that their efforts are appreciated and that will cause them to leave eventually.
I don't have 16 hours a day to track mobs. I am not even able to play every day. But I do not discount the value that those who are able to play 16hours a day bring to their guilds. Whatever their reasons, without them there would be no FTEs, no bat phones, no kills, no loot.

Amount of time played has nothing to do with what the player contributes. Just because they soak up tons of DKP does not prove they are a contributing cog in the raid guild.
I am not saying that it's not beneficial to have very active players who do a large portion of the work on raids. But to pretend that all members that have high attendance are useful, necessary members that only help to create a more positive, cameraderie in a guild seems a bit far fetched and idealistic.
