Title: DKP Draft
Post by: TeaLeaf on August 21, 2006, 09:03:05 AM
SOG & DKP SYSTEMS
The Field Marshalls have been considering how to improve the DKP system for some considerable time.  There are numerous systems and tweaks you can make to DKP systems and what became more than apparent is that there is no single answer that has zero problems.  Each system has its problems and is inherently flawed in some way or another.  However as a result of these lengthy debates, the Field Marshalls decided that the priorities for the Guild would be a DKP system that is easy to maintain, one where newer members are recognised and have a better chance of loot in newer instances in which they have participated fully and where past efforts are also recognised.  We have therefore decided to do the following with immediate effect:

Molten Core/Onyxia's Lair/Blackwing Lair
DKP for these instances will remain in the current DKP system.  

AQ40
DKP for this instance will be held in a separate AQ40 DKP table and accrued on exactly the same basis as the current DKP system.  This means newer members should have a pretty much equal footing.  Past efforts for the Guild are to be recognised by a 'loyalty bonus' to the AQ40 DKP.  The bonus will represent +5% of the DKP held in the Molten Core/Onyxia's Lair/Blackwing Lair DKP table currently.

Naxxramas
DKP for this instance will be held in a separate Naxxramas DKP table and accrued on exactly the same basis as the current DKP system.  This means newer members should have a pretty much equal footing.  Past efforts for the Guild are to be recognised by a 'loyalty bonus' to the Naxxramas DKP.  The bonus will represent +5% of the DKP held in the AQ40 DKP table at the point we start raiding Naxxramas.

The New DKP tables have already been set up and links to them will appear on the forum very shortly.   DKP for AQ40 has been split out of the old Molten Core/Onyxia's Lair/Blackwing Lair DKP table.

We realise that this system in itself is not perfect, but we believe it represents the best compromise for the future.  As we move from instance to instance this system refreshes itself and recognises both past efforts and gives new members a realistic chance of getting loot quickly.

We hope the system will enjoy your full support.

The Officers.

Other changes, the original DKP system should be for MC/BWL and OL (as per URL link from forums).  OL is missing atm.

Sorry Padding, we weren't trying to cut anyone out of the loop, just to get on and finish the implementation of what we'd previously discussed.  These things kind of gather momentum of their own :sad:
