What about people joining who had gear from a higher "tier," would they have to back-spend to even reach a tier that would be an upgrade, wasting gear from those who actually needed it?

EDIT: Negative DKP systems DO NOT WORK if you don't have a way of recovering in some case. If (for example) you have an item that is going to rot that costs 150dkp to get, and the maximum you can make a week is about 30-50 dkp (with you being at all the raids - ALL OF THEM WITHOUT FAIL) that just doesn't work. I know this from experience.

If an item is rotting, you keep reducing the dkp cost until someone wants it. Takes time? So it does, but it means that nobody ends up watching gear that would upgrade them rot because they'd never get any loot again without a perfect record.

Yes, I was working on an imperfect DKP system.
