Why do guilds use DKP?

[magnetaress]

I still stand by using dkp should let you buy a chance to /random

I was also in a guild once that let everyone random but dkp would modify their roll if they spent it.

What rules apply to random? Do everyone in attendance do the /random?

I think the argument that your high raid attendance means you get high amount of /randoms is pretty strong, but I guess I can imagine scenarios where it breaks down, just like all the DKP guys can see how it breaks down too.

Can someone tell me a complete system that works and isn't broken as heck? On random roll I can see a lot of messes happening if the entire attendant list /randoms for every single item that is dropped.

Many hours would be spent when those winners take time to negotiate the loot rights with other guildies ETC.

Depriving a guildie of needed fat loots in order to go sell it on the messageboard seems obviously wrong because a guild is supposed to be a team not some??? weird ass thing where people band together in a greed before need situation.

But I don't know how you handle distribution in a big big guild.

Usually ppl don't go for stuff they don't need.

I remember being a dkp scrooge tho and spending like 3 weeks of DKP on a shield for my cleric in GoD that wasn't BiS for the healer role, but really nice anyway. I got kinda the cold shoulder for it.

Don't think I ever upgraded that shield until well into TSS. I loved it. Cuz it was cool and made me feel safer.

Why has no one discussed the obvious solution #Pick3 loot system. You get more loot going to people who want/need it and get just a hint of /random still.

Because it rewards the ugliest of all the snaggletooths out there. Pretty simple.
