Raid guild loot systems other than DKP?

[Lhancelot]

I am just curious what loot systems are in effect besides DKP?

I have heard about <Clue> using /ran on ALL loots, is this true?

Are there other guilds that also use this method? How far have <Clue> and other guilds who use this system for loot progressed with content?

What other systems of loot is there besides doing /ran and DKP?

Just curious if any other guilds have found ways to make it fair for all members to get loot equally, or if all raid guilds pretty much have a core group of pixel fiending greedy nerds that drive their guild like slavemasters driving their zerg to gobble up as much pixels as possible for their own greedy ends?

Random works well but I think it takes a bit of personal responsibility. Perhaps whoever does loot at the raid makes a note and creates a MAX LOOT table. Like you can't win X amount of items in a row.

I've seen people random on EVERYTHING during raids and go home tons of new pixels and when you are raiding with your own guild then maybe, just maybe, don't act like a greedy loot whore. You're not in a bloody PUG.

Ahh good point, some people actually do seem luckier on rolling than others. That would suck to be the unlucky roller never winning anything while one guy rolls and wins 75% of the items that drop.

On live when a piece of loot would drop in our raids, an officer in charge of loot would post an item in guild and ask for tells.

You would then link them the item you were wearing that the dropped item would replace.

They would then decide who would get the loot, based off need and attendance.

That was it.

That would be called a loot council system

if you have fair officers, this works well.
my guild did it too on live.

I hate that system. It encourages people to be lazy and not upgrade their gear. I can either link silver chitin wristbands or I could just keep using hero bracers until my skyshrine Bracer drops. Might as well be lazy so I look like I need the upgrade more.

Exactly, everyone would forever be "dressing down" for raids and that's the last thing you need if you're doing difficult content.

Most fair in my opinion is a hybrid loot council + dkp. As long as the officers are not corrupt. I ran a strict loot council once and we had no problem. But every system will be flawed when you're talking green scales and other assorted high end pixels.

As an officer of Clue I can attest to the fact that we /ran about 98% of all drops. We have just started messing around in PoG in the last couple weeks and we killed Lord Bob for the first time last night.
