Isn't there a better way to distribute raid loot? If not which is most fair?

[Pan]

At some point, the responsibility lies on the individual, too. I've known more than several people across various MMOs who would be victimized by any loot system...and, it turns out, by life itself - constantly.

And while both DKP and Loot Council systems have merits and proponents, there are just going to be times when stuff doesn't work out right even to the most unbiased eye. Shit happens. And when it does, it's up to the individual to determine how he/she will behave.

And that, to me, is probably the most important question when it comes to loot distribution. Are you guilded with a bunch of selfish drama vampires, or are you guilded with rational, sentient people who can work stuff out in the long term? Get that question right, and you've per-mitigated about 95pct of the drama that often is associated with loot in MMOs.
