Re: Fairest Way to Distribute Raid Drops?

in avalon we use a dkp system, with a separate pool for each boss
Also takes quite some work to keep it going eh?
Yes, it does require a lot of attendance tracking. But we try to eliminate luck from distributing raid gear as much as possible, you essentially earn items completely based on effort, and the only thing that luck plays part is what item drops that you wanted when it's your turn to have the highest priority in the system, e.g. a dark helm. But we also addressed that part by allowing gear upgrades or trades and giving priority to those who are upgrading, so people don't pass on dark items to wait for shadows/void.

It's a nifty system, if I may say so myself, which includes points decay so new recruits are allowed to eventually compete with veterans in a few months as long as they're active enough. In some dkp systems, veterans just totally dominate with massive amount of unused points. It also addresses the issue of point-hoarding and so folks would be wise to spend their points rather than hoard them, which keeps the rotation of gear healthy.

The only bad part is that there are just so plenty of bad loot, we bank over 80% of our drops which no DKP system can fix. We just give some away for free or discounted cost, but even then, most loot items are so bad we still end up with a bank full of crap items.

Just have to say, after being in lots of other clans and watching chiefs try various methods for distributing loot, I am amazed at the DKP system and how it vastly eliminates loot drama. Of course, that requires that clan members agree to accept the structure and follow it and to put their own egos aside a bit.

It does, however require quite a bit of work from chief, officers, and that clannies meticulously record and forward attendance at every single boss in the pool every single day. I'd just like to say a public thank you particularly to Ail but also to our officers and clannies who work so hard to keep the system updated.

Additionally, Ail seems to continually be proactively evaluating how the system is working for the needs of the clan at the moment. Hats off chief.

The problem with the dkp system is that rolling almost always takes place with every single drop.

Eg. A hrung dmg brace drops, 5 people want it, then its all based on luck.

Im looking for a fair system where rolling does not play a major factor.

The addition of dice in my opinion is destroying atmosphere in the game in many ways: scammers, spammers, people who say roll when they dont recieve the drop etc.
