| The obvious "flaw" to an auction system is people in each class set can get together and work the system, deciding amongst themselves who gets what in what order to minimalize point costs - won't work as well on non class specific items maybe, but anything class specific or obviously geared to certain classes (ie, daggers anyone can use but realistically only a rogue would get them). Besides that, people further down the line spend less points than the first if they don't do that, but I guess that isn't too bad if people are spending points at least. Problem I could see too is certain classes you only need so many of. I mean my guild runs a merit/officer decision system, and already classes decide amongst themselves who will ask for items in what order. While it prevents people complaining about the system, it is a workaround none the less.
DKP is fair for all intents and purposes, but does require a mature raider base. Unless you penalize people for playing shitty, you might have really high attendance, and lots of people watching Law and Order rather than paying attention to whats happening on the raid. |
