I join no guild that uses "DKP" or any other phony currency, and I instantly disband from any guild that changes to using it. If a video game guild wants to pay me for my service, they can pay me in dollars. Even if I wanted to turn my hobby into a really bad second job, I'm not going to do it for monopoly money. I have to think a lot of players need to grow some self esteem, and should refuse to be treated so poorly.

If you're keeping the monopoly money, at least players should band together in a sort of union and develop a universal virtual currency that carries over guild-to-guild. DKP in its present form is company scrip that gives them all the leverage and allows guilds to manipulate their players in numerous ways, almost all of which are negative. Again, players should not tolerate being treated so poorly and I can't fathom why they do. Pixel sickness is a severe malady, I guess.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

i took a deep dive into a system that I'm intimately familiar with because I had a eureka moment where I thought maybe I could make it better but I came to the conclusion that I could not

Thoughts of a type of system, dkp, spreadsheets to kill vulak, these things aren't going to put my in a tizzy, they're numbers LOL. Sure, rant how we use them a bit, seemed fair. I didn't post this thread in a fuming rage!

Being constantly teased for someone else's fun, being ignored anytime I try to suggest anything, or being sequestered from the public ear because someone thinks I'm some kind of mental freak, yeah, it can get me upset a bit.

Shame is their only weapon against you. Just be yourself.

I'm a big fan of the Bladefrenzy loot system.
