The auction system, aside from taking a while after each mob, has a few other drawbacks that creates problems.

- You can't force people to actually bid fairly and reasonably. The rogues can always roll beforehand ,then buy the JTB for 1dkp. Which of course means they all have more dkp to bid on the rest of the chain. This in turn may screw your shamans, who actaully bidded on their TA.

So basically you get penalized for 'playing fairly', then everyone just negotiates and/or rolls, then bids the mindkp on an item.

-The saverupper problem is a big issue here too, especailly when you need to do things like gear your tanks with ac, but they're hoarding all their dkp so they can get the first dbow drop. I guess in wow the analgous situation would be with Deathstriker. The person who wins the deathstriker is probably the person in all the level 40 'of the monkey' gear, since he never spent his points on anything else.
