I agree, but that is ideal, not realistic. Greed and selfishness is much more common, even in guilds of 'friends'. More often then not, those with more time played in this game are rewarded for that time.. You don't have to be able to solve quadratic equations to get gear...just raid alot...play alot. And who is to say you don't deserve loot if you attend every raid? And howdo you decide between equal play from equal players?
I agree with you, don't get me wrong, but there are far too many unscrupulous characters who would abuse merit as well, I would bet on greed and character flaws in this game over honor and integrity any day of the week.
And even then, there is always a gray area, or, even if you got it perfect...people who wouldn't agree for a myriad of reasons.
I always perferred seniority, and loot decided by honorable men. Hard to find that, so dkp becomes the lesser of 2 evils, and something to placate the masses. The perfect system is hard to use, because trying to fill a raid of unselfish people... hard to do.
