Explain to me how DKP is unfair? Is earning money at your job to buy things that other people without jobs can't afford unfair?.

I did in another thread. Your job analogy doesn't compare. I'm not an economist, statistician, bayesian rationalist or even that good at math and logical arguments. But I know the argument that DKP is fair is unsound. I'll try to explain it, will probably fail to make anyone understand and get trolled in the process, but here it is anyway:
Dollars in the real world to spend on things in the real world are not the same as DKP in the virtual world to spend on virtual things because nobody is standing in line at McDonald's bidding against each other for a cheeseburger.
You don't go to work with 30 other people just so that one guy gets a cheeseburger, purchased with virtual bucks.

More time/effort invested = more loot is the ultimate goal of distributing loot imo.

More time/effort invested = more loot with /random. Laws of Probability are universal laws. You can't argue them away. If you /random more, you win more loot on average.
DKP does not distribute as evenly as /random. This is a fact. People who don't show up to raids as often won't spend their DKP on the shit that (apparently you stupidly let rot) because they are saving up for higher value items. These are the 20%ers or less maybe? Or if you're elitist, the 50%ers, since you kicked all of the 20%ers. It doesn't matter where you shift the line, someone is getting shafted. Anyway, the 35 minimum DKP loot is getting scooped up by the top tier, because the lower tiers are saving their DKP for the things they want, but the top tier is
still getting the majority of the top loot as well as the bottom loot, because they can afford it, so the guy on the bottom is getting shafted.

If u think /random achieves that best you're a special kind of stupid that I've never even heard of

If you're not looking at the math, you need to re-evaluate who the special kind of stupid one is. Post the numbers of the last three months of DKP accrued, raids attended and loot distributed and we'll see who's right. I bet Clue's numbers are more in line for what people should be getting when it comes to time invested.
