Raid guild loot systems other than DKP?

Random works well but I think it takes a bit of personal responsibility. Perhaps whoever does loot at the raid makes a note and creates a MAX LOOT table. Like you can't win X amount of items in a row.

I've seen people random on EVERYTHING during raids and go home tons of new pixels and when you are raiding with your own guild then maybe, just maybe, don't act like a greedy loot whore. You're not in a bloody PUG.

Ahh good point, some people actually do seem luckier on rolling than others. That would suck to be the unlucky roller never winning anything while one guy rolls and wins 75% of the items that drop.

On live when a piece of loot would drop in our raids, an officer in charge of loot would post an item in guild and ask for tells.

You would then link them the item you were wearing that the dropped item would replace.

They would then decide who would get the loot, based off need and attendance.

That was it.

That would be called a loot council system

if you have fair officers, this works well.

I hate that system. It encourages people to be lazy and not upgrade their gear. I can either link silver chitin wristbands or I could just keep using hero bracers until my skyshrine Bracer drops. Might as well be lazy so I look like I need the upgrade more.

Exactly, everyone would forever be "dressing down" for raids and that's the last thing you need if you're doing difficult content.

Afaik none of that happened. Maybe somewhat, but if you're killing all of the top mobs it doesn't really matter. You get the best in slot for your gear, and you're done for that slot. What are you going to wear cloth arms 2 raids in a row when you've won the BiS arm on the first raid? Of course not.

It was a good way to get new players up to raid level.

I've seen less people wearing garbage gear on a raid than I've seen loot officers play favorites at the expense of their raid force.
