By making smart decisions we're better equipped to kill more dragons and get more loot for everyone. I can understand people who have very few items to hand out wanting a super transparent system to govern every action, as getting an item is a rare opportunity. But for us, it just isn't a big deal. You want something you'll get it. You play a ton, you're gonna be BiS geared within 3-4 months. Feel you got passed over unjustly? Wait until next week and get it.

DKP hoarding is terrible for guilds, it puts new people behind more and more compared to hoarders, and it ensures people that join the guild have little to no chance on loot the first months of an expansion.

Does your guild use DKP inflation as my old one did? How exactly does that work? Or do you have people with 50-100+ raids value in DKP, that hardly log on these days, and are just waiting for Verious?

Further, how much loot have you / other members passed to applicants, since it would be a better upgrade for them then for you?

You speak about making smart decisions, so tell me how many of your applicants have gotten CoFs or other BiS items for their class, in order to optimize their raid performance?

Does the system work both ways?

Gearing a potential main in your guild offers more value then gearing an alt, for obvious reasons. How do you guys handle this, do mains always get priority over alts?
