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.

I surely hope that you don't 100% trust people on an internet video game. It's not unreasonable to be cautious about others behavior online and everyone should do it. I always double check that my dkp is being updated, and I would even go so far as to keep in mind loot decisions that a 'council' has made overlooking my attendance and efforts. It's just what any responsible player should do if they want to hedge against favoritism and keep their leadership accountable.
Second, RMT is not allowed on this server. I'm sure guild have operated this way and would operate this way if they could. Problems being: anyone can pay any amount of money despite their effort on any one piece of loot, which would then alienate the actual players that are the backbone of the guild. You also have to start asking the question: "Do I want to pay to play?" people are going to start dipping deeper to get pixels and actually use real money. If that's not a warning idk what is. As you start thinking about how that would work, it definitely doesn't seem like a good method for play.
