Raid guild loot systems other than DKP?

[maskedmelon]

To a guild, someone who attends 80% of raids is more valuable than someone who attends 40%, because if everyone only attends 40%, your roster needs to be twice as large to field the same number of people per raid. You are also then retarding the guild's progress by spreading that loot across more individuals, so you effectively require twice as many people to advance at half the rate. Ultimately, this sort of setup discourages camaraderie because players do not feel that their efforts are appreciated and that will cause them to leave eventually.

I don't have 16 hours a day to track mobs. I am not even able to play every day. But I do not discount the value that those who are able to play 16hours a day bring to their guilds. Whatever their reasons, without them there would be no FTEs, no bat phones, no kills, no loot.
