Why do guilds use DKP?

Does no one show up because they want to kill a dragon? Isn't that the whole "fun" part of the game, killing big monsters with your guildmates? I dunno maybe my casual scum is showing, but people should raid because they enjoy raiding. And perhaps a guild shouldn't go out of their way to develop a loot system that caters to people who would not even log in for a raid unless it directly benefits them.

lol give it a try! Put a /random loot system in place in your guild and see how many people show up to kill bosses they don't need loot from. These dragons have been on farm for the past 5 years so maybe your first kill on a tough dragon was exciting, but will it get your main tank or 3 extra clerics out of bed at 4am on a Tuesday if they don't get paid in some form of reward? Probably not.

Fun is a matter of opinion though so if you have a guild full of people who all enjoy the game the same way then awesome [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
