| here's the quickest way to get up and running with a dkp system i approve of (like you care!):
1. compile a list of every item you can obtain by raiding. do this in excel. for each item put a link to it on thottbot or wherever.
2. break them up in to groups. plate chest pieces. 1h swords. 1h daggers. etc.
3. order them from the top down best to worst by category.
4. assign the top one in each category an arbitraty DKP cost. say 80 dkp. go down each category and price the items in relation to the top, best item at 80.
5. go to a raid.
6. announce the drops with prices and have people who want to aye /tell one specific officer.
7. highest point holder wins the item at the set cost. (we chose to give an "only-aye" discount, meaning if you are the only aye you got the item for 65% of the fixed cost).
8. at the end of the raid, the DKP value of the raid = the total points spent divided by the number of raiders.
done
now there are lots of sub issues, but that is really the simple, simple core of a very flexible, easy to maintain, and fair DKP system. |
