True, but the mobs simply aren't up long enough for a bid to take place, though it is an interesting idea I admit. Something like VS, for instance, lasts like 37 seconds after a pop. It would be much easier to track the kill if guilds went after him normally and whoever got the kill had the points deducted. Plus, with my weighted system, its possible there will be less competition for VS then normal, because other epic mobs are the same cost as him and other guilds may have already hit their point limit earlier in the week.

So you take your idea of giving 200 points to start, with each guild having a weekly point allowance. If a mob they want is in window, they bid what its worth to them. When it spawns they have 1 hour to execute their engage, otherwise the 2nd highest bidder goes.

I think predetermined point values for each mob just isn't appealing to someone who enjoys raiding competition. There has to be some kind of competition for each mob, each week. The bidding system combined with stipulations for engage time, wipes, etc seems like a very attractive system.

If people can stick to the rules and the bidding is out in the open I don't see how this idea can fail. If a guild wants a mob they bid what its worth to them, if they win they get 1 hour to engagr after the mob spawns. Furthermore a wipe, failure to track, or any foul play can be dealt with accordingly through point distribution/penalties.

This means each guild will be responsible for their own tracking, having a proper kill force present, and be forced to forgo certain mobs due to not having enough points to bid on everything they want every week. Would be fairly easy to track using a spreadsheet.

Think of it as a raid dkp bidding system, for guilds.
