Raid guild loot systems other than DKP?

Likewise, trying to coerce people into showing up for events they don't want to go to strikes me as a lousy way to run something that's supposed to be fun.

I'll stick with guilds that /random or merit things out and keep the game--a game. Nothing against folks who're okay with the currency system, but it isn't for me.

Who's asking you to turn raiding into a job? DKP encourages participation whether or not your class benefits from an activity. It doesn't *require* participation at anything. Come raid when you feel like raiding. Don't raid when you're busy. We have a ton of casual players in Azure Guard who raid very infrequently and they still get loot. Less than highly active players, but enough to keep everyone more or less happy. This is the same thing /random is supposed to do, right?

I feel like you're conflating the concept of DKP with the kinds of hardcore guilds that require a huge raid percentage just to spend their DKP or require attendance when online. Those two things need not go hand in hand, and in Azure Guard's case, do not.
