Isn't there a better way to distribute raid loot? If not which is most fair?

The problem you describing is a function of playing on a static server, not a problem caused by dkp systems. If you cap your dkp hoarding rules, say at 100 dkp, you still have the exact same problem if there is no loot to spend it on anymore.

You'll see some of the hoarders tap into the dkp pools in velious to get some hot items first...but you'll be in the same boat in 3 years...or 5 years...or 7 years.

Its a static server. Loot eventually loses its meaning compared to live. There are a couple of exceptions, but by and large, this is the future if this server survives long enough to get there.

This is why I don't understand why there is so much loot loving on this server. In the end, even the best items in the game are going to be worth far far less than you could ever have imagined them being on live. You'd think this setup would lure the folks who love to play EQ for "non-loot" reasons---when the reality of p99 is that (at least it seems without knowing the data) most of the server is engaged in never ending attempts to acquire more loot.

I mean, to each their own. I'm obviously wrong (or at least in the minority) when it comes to how I play the game here. Its just surprising to me how many folks on p99 are playing so "hard-core" when they know the server isn't going anywhere after velious launch/patches. On live, we played that way because you had to maintain your advantage for the next expansion.

True, there is no endgame. Nothing to do when you hit 60 other than raid to get BiS. Get bored cause you are all geared up or can't get geared up, and up rolling another guy to 60, same thing happens. Thats why we always want more and more loot.

Im surprised to hear of some of these issues considering I thought they had simple solutions back when I ran a guild.

Our DKP system had a cap, once you hit the cap, you cant earn anymore DKP, so I suggest buying an item if youve been hoarding it. On top of that, attendence was tracked so if you werent making X% of the raids, your dkp was weighted accordingly, so you couldnt just hit the cap and skip all raids but the one for the item you want.

Problems solved.

1) He's freaking out about (potentially) not getting loot. That's a classic loot whore personality trait. Loot whore pisses off loot council who skips that person over.
Prophecy fulfilled.

2) Reputation is everything. Who wants to be in BDA?

Everybody here hates everybody else. All guilds have a bad reputation.

This isn't in the least bit true, certain guilds have terrible reputations bc they consistently put their wants above others in every scenario they encounter and other guilds just have very shitty ppl running the show for them.
