Default apex's loot system

can someone explain it to me?

i thought it was a DKP system, but it's not zero-sum DKP yet the person who bids on an item with the most DKP is guaranteed it? and best in slot items have a fixed value of 40 DKP?

i also heard that tune has 1600 DKP saved up, so he's guaranteed basically whatever loot he could possibly want for the foreseeable future, hypothetically assuming apex doesn't completely dissolve by next week?

but it's not DKP though because Cyren can and does refuse to take peoples' tells on certain items and instead guarantee them to whoever he wants? (see: Quil on his Shovel of the Harvest)

i don't get it

KEWLGET bro, just join Ragnarok....youll get that shovel

either you are mad you wouldnt get it on your alt (mains have priority over alts always) or you dont like shark, because what ranger in Apex doesnt have a shovel that needed one that was main ranger when shovels were going to non rangers/alts because everyone had one?

W T F?

also, we didnt get a shovel and low probability we will get one again.

It is DKP. Very simple, as Shokar mentioned.

There have been issues with missed tells (legitimate mistake), or items being awarded improperly (officers abusing their power). This is true, but very rare.

I would say 99.9% of the loot decisions have been fair, where DKP dictates the winner. Simple as that.

Anyone that has been in Apex knows I'm right.

so there's no decay

there's no bidding

it's not zero sum

but the highest DKP gets an item by default at a very, very low cost

and officers can overstep the entire system

hmm..

Cyren tells you, 'don't taunt me. and don't touch me on raids.'

Cyren tells you, 'shrug, you're only hurting yourself. last i recall you werent on loot council'

Cyren tells you, 'good luck.'
