Isn't there a better way to distribute raid loot? If not which is most fair?

Im surprised to hear of some of these issues considering I thought they had simple solutions back when I ran a guild.

Our DKP system had a cap, once you hit the cap, you cant earn anymore DKP, so I suggest buying an item if youve been hoarding it. On top of that, attendence was tracked so if you werent making X% of the raids, your dkp was weighted accordingly, so you couldnt just hit the cap and skip all raids but the one for the item you want.

Problems solved.
