apex's loot system

[KEWLGET]

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
