DKP:
1. Billy has no life. Billy attends every single raid since the guild is formed.
2. Billy will always have more DKP than anyone who joined the guild after him.
3. Billy outbids everyone on items that are barely an upgrade, or he wants them for the looks
4. Billy is the only one who gets gear just because he joined the guild earlier than other members.
5. A guild will have an amount between 4 and 20 Billies
6. The remaining raiders will have to save up for weeks until they can outbid all of the Billies in their guild to receive even one item.
7. The only thing holding people back from leaving the guild would be internet points (DKP) that they have, yet are unable to use sufficiently due to the amount of Billies in the guild.
LC Scenario:
1. 4-10 Billies are members of loot council
2. All Billies are of a different class and want different loot.
3. If Billies continue to take the loot from everyone else, the guild will break apart and there is a constant fear that wrongful item distribution can cause the guild to Shatter.
4. Billies are aware of this and distribute loot as evenly as possible, gearing up the most important raiders first (Tanks) and making sure everyone is happy with the decisions made, otherwise the guild breaks apart.
5. If the Billies are idiots, the guild disbands within a month or two. If they are somewhat competent, the guild successfully progresses and everyone is happy about the loot.
Now which Billy do you want to be?
P.S. Next time, keep threads like these inside your guild forums where they belong.
The thread should have ended here. This is where I stopped reading.
