Sounds good.
Someone will find a way to scam it.

You can't scam random rolls, so I'd be less concerned with that.

I think the bigger issue is that they're not going to have key classes coming to many raids.

If your class can't earn anything (items or DKP), you have no incentive to show up. That means no Clerics coming unless Cleric items drop from that mob, no tanks coming unless tank items drop, no slowers unless ... you get the idea.

DKP is pretty much universal because it solves that problem (and a few others).

Platinum earning, comradery, the chance to group with the People's Guild Leader, voting on what content guild takes on. Nah, no incentives.

Cut

Mutiny has already had an exodus of raid-level players leaving for mostly Castle. New players just cant help but gravitate towards Castle, and its a damn shame.
