- Bidding with silent auctions is the way to go IMHO. Open bidding takes forever. In my EQ guild you had 30 secs to put in your bid. Very efficient.

- People getting something for 1DKP isnt really a big deal IMHO. It's stuff that would have rotted. If there's a really good item drop you know people are gonna bid on it.

- If "class consorting" is a problem just assign a minimum DKP value based on item quality.

- If you really wanna go with fixed points per loot, just use some general formula. We used hps+mana+ a certain amount per effect. Then you dont have to make some big retarded database for every item in the game. Much easier.

Anyway, I havent seen a better system than silent bidding. Its fast, adjusts for inflation, and has very little administrative overhead.
