Raid guild loot systems other than DKP?

The way bidding is handled, including what threshold you are allowed to bid at, is subjective. Most guilds have raid attendance requirements that prevent you from bidding if you are not at a certain raid attendance %.

That's decidedly worse than random for people who play occasionally.

Thats like saying if I work 30 hours one week I cant spend the money I earned because I didnt work full time that week. In AG we have no such requirement.

One big problem with random: unless its all greed random, some classes have zero incentive to visit certain zones, since nothing will drop for them.

and +1 to AG for not having it. the RA requirement is the biggest silliness with DKP systems. it's just an extra kick in the pants to people who have real lives or other interests.

very true, and part of why DKP started being a thing in the first place.
