You can just ignore DSM, he generally just disagrees with people just for the sake of doing it.

cd288 is just mad because he was proven wrong in another thread. He hasn't recovered yet, so please ignore his silly comments regarding me.

I honestly doubt this. Assuming one can even get into one of the big guilds, I'd imagine most folks in there have amassed so much "DKP" that newcomers would be lucky to get a piece of garbage after a dedicated year of raiding. And anything cool and worthwhile, like an epic? Forget about it.

Gaining DKP can be done casually in big guilds now that the mandatory raid attendance has dropped.
Being in a big guild means you have more opportunities for raid targets because they can kill everything that spawns, and generally take a good portion of the kills. This means you have more chances for a target to be available when you are.
Not only that, but guilds have options to gain DKP outside of raids. You can camp items like Shiny Brass Idol or Scepter of the Forlorn, you can level guild bots, etc.
You can get some great loot for cheap because most of the hardcore raiders are gunning for big ticket items like Vulak loot. They typically think twice about a lot of loot, either because they already have it, or they don't want to shrink their DKP they can dump on something big.
In terms of Epics specifically, it depends on the Epic. Obviously Mage Epic is going to go for a lot, but that is true in all guilds on the server, unless your guild does /random. I have seen Child's Tear go for 10 DKP or less plenty of times, it is practically given away. That is an easy 100k item for real cheap. For reference, you get 1-6 DKP per encounter, depending on what happened. A kill is 3 DKP, so you only need to have attended 4 raid kills and you can already get a great item if it goes for cheap, or you would just need to do some camping/leveling work, or whatever else is posted as a DKP work order.
