Why do guilds use DKP?

Yeah but can’t dkp be manipulated or used in a negative way? Kinda like Danth explained? Why can’t we be ok with a random dude who showed up the a raid, participated in said raid 100% and helped, and won an item fair and square with /random? Why do we feel the need to min/max and Micromanage loot? Isn’t it equally as fair to say every member in the current raid helped bring the mob down, thus securing this loot, and all who helped and can use can /random? Idk but his seems to make more sense than this weird outside currency system.

One issue is that people will only show up to help when they can benefit/roll.

The one time i accumulated a mass amount of DKP was with Blackheart Pirates and Hydra Alliance.. Guild got dumped, Leader got banned, guild fell apart.. Never got to spend a single fucking point... Haven't stepped foot in a raid zone or hit a raid target since...

PS- not against or for them.. Just sucks when imaginary money on a spreadsheet goes poof one day...

If I made a guild, this would be my loot rules.

If you participated on a raid and an item dropped you could use, you can /random.

If you did extra work like tracking or cothing guild mates, you get a guild point. You can use one guild point on any roll to give yourself +10 to the roll. You can only use one guild point per roll.

Hang out with my bro’s and kill raid targets and have fun. Chill and cool normal eq vibes.

Split platinum bids would be interesting. PUGs have done it in the past for Vindi and HoT, why not all raid content? This way at least you walk away with platinum which can be used in your next endeavor

Now we’re thinking. Let us keep thinking outside the box.

But the reality is that for most of the raid tier loot poeple want to see a more consistent return on their effort.

So imagine this scenario. You play a monk and have been trying for a Gharn's for years. Some monk that joined yesterday attends his first Vulak raid, and win's a Gharn's isntead of you because RNGeeezus blessed his roll that day.

How would you feel?

The same as if i've been in a LCY group for 3 hours, player leaves, new player joins, T staff drops, new player rolls. Wins..

It eliminates favoritism and conspiracies of favoritism.
