I don't understand why DKP guilds don't deduct from totals when items are awarded.

Anyone who wants a drop could submit a blind bid with how many points they want to spend on said item and the winner has that number subtracted from his or her total.

Is there a drawback to such a system?

This system was used in my EQ2 raiding guild. I still think the problem remains that long time guild members are still going to have a crap ton of points over newer guild members for long time to come unless the aforementioned point adjustment is made. That being said Europa does not use any dkp system, but I guess we're not 'top-tier' like TMO/FE and maybe whatever BDA does.
