Ok, so your merit system is based off of attendance, right? Doesn't DKP, in essence, distribute out points based on participation?
They are basically the same thing.
If someone wants to pass up 2 expansions worth of loot in order to get one specific item, that is his choice; meanwhile, everyone else is gearing up.
Calling the DKP system is, as a whole, completely stupid based on one or two unlikely (yet not impossible) examples is, in itself, asinine. Any system can be abused, even a merit system.
My most successful system was basically a merit system. We had a loot council that based loot distribution on attendance, attitude, work ethic ect.
DKP is still a viable way to distribute loot.
