I understand the frustration OP, but it’s expected. Just because you show up doesn’t mean you’re going to get a particular item, especially one that is pretty rare. Loot council guilds usually have inner cliques and the officers will hook up their friends and their alts. Solution? Join a true dkp system and bid once you have attended enough raids and built up some points.

If he was in a proper DKP guild he wouldn't have had a chance as it was his first raid at 48. Whether an alt of a bard main (playing alt to participate) was present or otherwise, I would not allow a white scale to go to a level 48 bard who's first raid was the one Lady Vox that dropped a white scale.
I'd honestly guild bank it for an offline high level main bard who wasn't even online.
Guild leaders/officers should make reasonable decisions based on what is best for the guild. White scales are tradable, very valuable, incredibly ... INCREDIBLY useful when placed on a bard that has proven loyalty/longevity/attendance.
Giving it to a random level 48 nobody who's barely ever raided is a stupid decision to make from the standpoint of a guild leader/officer. I've just seen too many people bail on a guild prematurely for greener pastures after receiving the type of support that only veteran players deserve.
White scales that drop belong to the guild and the guild should place them on members that have not only earned them ... but on members that they expect will remain. If I were a guild leader who ran anything other than a raw DKP system, I'd make sure that scale went to the bard who was most likely to contribute the most in the long run (Ie a bard with long tenure and 50% attendance over a new bard with 95% attendance that joined a month ago). Even in a pure dkp guild, I'd not let the only bard in attendance take a white scale with low tenure/dkp over an offline bard with high tenure/dkp. That shit is tradable and deserves to go the the bard who you can most count on to not leave the lesser guild for a higher tier guild 3 months later.
TLDR? White scales are a special kind of rare/awesome/useful. Don't expect a guild to give you one without earning the trust of said guild and actually earning your keep.
