Why do guilds use DKP?

[Ravager]

Log parsers exist. Easy enough to script the highest rolls.

Who really needs anything here? The Planes were beat with Classic Dungeon Gear. Kunark was beat with Classic Planes Gear. Velious was beat with Kunark Gear. Nobody needs best in slot on this server for anything. It's all just dressing up their dolls. There is no good argument that one person needs something more than any other.

Yes, everyone in attendance gets a random. That's the only fair thing for waking someone up in the middle of the night to do this shit. Add rules and you're just trying to skew things unfairly in your own favor. If you think there are loafers in the guild just showing up to roll and not do anything, well there's always /gkick. You'll find out who's actually there for the good of the guild and their friends in a hurry.

Big big guilds only exist to give a few at the top the numbers they need to coast for their loot and telling a bunch of people that they actually have a chance at the things they want if they just earn the DKP is a lie and a scam. If everyone had a fair roll on everything that dropped you wouldn't see the burnout and turnover you do in the zergs because that chance would always be there to get that thing they really wanted and they wouldn't feel like they're just spinning their wheels.

/random is the only fair answer and is as fair as anything else in life. People don't want fair though and will continue to argue why a system that lets them put their thumb on the scale is best.
