I agree with you with respect to the purpose of the thing, except I look at the above and say two things: First, why on earth would I want to hang around people I don't trust and don't like? Second, if a guild wants to pay me, it can pay me dollars. Company scrip won't do. That's why I treat DKP loot systems as a warning sign to stay away--it's not for me. Each to his own, though. Given the peer pressure on P1999 I'm surprised Paradigm Shift held out as long as it did.
