Zero sum DKP is the only nonbiased, fair way to award loot based on contribution and previous loot distribution.

DKP systems nowadays award inflationary dkp and implement bid systems to balance that massive oversight out.

If I'm in a raid and a piece of loot drops that is worth 100 DKP and there are 25 members at the table, we all get 4, someone spends 100 dkp, and it's done. If those same 25 people continually made every raid and the same scenario played out, all 25 would get 1 piece of loot (for the same amount of contribution) in 25 100 dkp loot drops.

Ran a DKP system for several years both in EQ and WoW with this exact mentality and it worked flawlessly. WoW guild was world top 10 for both years that i ran it - because our members were geared based on how much they showed up and contributed to getting loot (which is another indicator that they do well - we actually down the boss).
