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

What's the best system to resolve this?

Pretending you're a chick and cybering your guild leader.

DKP work the best. You put forth the most time to helping the guild advance you get more chances to buy loot. Seems simple enough to me.

When Thott made the DKP system, it was to eliminate guild bullshit, and to basically cut off at the root the Heather system which previously was the norm in most guild. I was in <Heathers> back in 99-2000, so I can give you the way that worked.

The Heather system is, Heather runs the guild, and Heather, Heather, and Heather are officers. Heather, Heather, Heather, Heather, and that other shaman, what's her name... or right, Heather, are loot officers. Heather, Heather, Heather, heather, Heather, Heather, Heather, Heather, Heather, and Heather were senior members. These people formed the "Council of Heathers." Using basic common sense, and totally mainly being interested in fairness but also sometimes you have to think about other stuff too, Heathers decided who got what. Usually, loot went to another Heather, duh.

The dkp protocols for this 16 year old elf simulator are well established. DKP eliminates the Heather system. Guilds who tell you they have a "better" system than dkp are trying to fuck a stranger in the ass.

I know I encouraged you to make this thread and all, but you sound super paranoid about inner circles. Loot distribution in IB (sorry Rampage) and TMO, although loot council, goes to who deserves it and put in time. We both have extensive systems to track contribution and the council uses that to make an informed decision on who deserves it. Yes, it's subjective. Yes, it has it's down sides. Yes, you're being overly worried about not getting pixels and that screams loot whore to me which could turn into an amusingly ironic self fulfilling prophecy.

tl;dr: Guilds that lack fair loot practices will get a bad reputation for doing so and be mercilessly ridiculed for it.

I'm not really sure that desiring a piece of gear off hate trash mobs more often than once every 4-6 weeks qualifies as loot whoring.

[Gimp]

I can usually guess with about 90% accuracy who's going to get what loot when it drops. Every member from the leader on down to the low % raiders knows who puts in sufficient work and deserves the item at that time. It's been a really fair process for the time I've been in a guild with a loot council.

1) Nice victim-blaming here. How could it be a "self-fulfilling prophecy" when other people, the so called "loot council," are completely in charge?

2) A bad reputation? On P99? BAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Reputation basically means NOTHING here; certainly relative to the importance of player/guild reputation on live.
