Isn't there a better way to distribute raid loot? If not which is most fair?

[Pan]

The one thing that I think is missing from this conversation is the question of:

"Fair" in one moment on one item vs. "fair" over time.

Arguably, there are very few single awards that are 100pct spot-on/perfect/accurate/fair...in that there's not a case to be made for that award to go to someone else in that moment.

However, irrespective of the system (DKP vs. loot council in this conversation), the more important question is the system working well (for you and everyone else) over time?

DKP can be buggered with. Loot councils can make bad decisions. That's just how it is. Mitigating the buggering and mistakes is really key to a robust, fair-over-time loot system.

All that said, if you (not the OP, particularly...just the reader) are the type of person who is gonna throw a fit about a single item/award and make it just painful for your guild to want to get and distribute loot, you might want to invest in a mirror and look there for problems before looking elsewhere.

Or, in other words, one of the major problems with most loot systems is the intrinsically, inherently greedy and entitled people. No matter how fair the system is, they'll always be victims. If you find yourself the *only* person constantly being victimized by loot awards, perhaps the problem is with you rather than the system.
