the system works
i'm sure someone can horde dkp in aftermath for months and maybe win a bid on something cool, assuming there isn't some min threshold to bid on elite items

Not since Ramp left. Both Forsaken and Ramp had safeguards to make sure only trackers get the best items (Asgard never did). Keep in mind that didn't mean you had to be top tracker. Just track here and there to let everyone know your not a leech.

Neither guild can enforce a policy like this in a two guild system without losing membership to the other. Things could change but that's how their going now.

No one wants to do it. So yea, letting everyone else do it is called "freeriding" and makes you a leech. Your getting the benefits of socking without contributing to socking.

Of course no one wants to do it. It's not fun, or necessary. You guys trapped yourselves into thinking that there was no other option. "Freeriding" is a word you just made up. And somewhere along the way, the raider hivemind stopped appreciating people showing up to kill things. Fucking leeches think they can just log in at 5am and soak up DKP, lawl. You guys and everyone like you suck.

Its not a word I made up..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_riding

Its the exact concept in question that was originally articulated by Adam Smith

You two options on p99:

1) don't get pixils

2) be in a guild that socks mobs

The fact that if everyone magically behaved differently, things would be different, is not much of an argument. People behave according to the systems that are put in place. I've railed against the system put in place by this server far more than either of you I might add. Especially when you both were respectively on your loot trains.
