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.
The AQ40 dkp currently in the MC/BWL system will be removed over the next couple hours to avoid double taxing members.
Very nice guys!!!! This will be applied in the future to RG2 I assume.
Basically this system gives a sum of effort per instance, I think that is fair!
Good Job!
Indeed a very nice change
good work officers :)
hope we will all be very happy with this system as we make progress in Naxx and AQ40
*does the happy dance*

.....even if you don't see it there's *always* things happening in the background to keep the things as ship-shape as possible. it's just a shame that it's not always possible to tell everyone about things as we go along.

lol I didnt know if you noticed but I spend to much on tank kit lately im kinda close to you already :P
p.s. Nice system, hoped for this to come.
Looks good :thumb: . I'm happy to see that you figured out a way to improve the DKP system without potentially upsetting people.
these are good news. Dajo and gorion cant take all the loot from Nax and AQ40 then :devil:

hey.. what do all these ppl have against me and dajo O.o
we earned that dkp so...stfu (no offence intended :P )
yeah and bdw, ime still on top of all the warriors :P
Gorion, your not on the top DKP on AQ40 list :happy:

ah, wrong button :P well ime 3rd and since opti is on holiday... :P
nothing against either of you, you DID earn it indeed :) just saying WE have a chance :), TBH it's rare you take anything I'm after anyway, and dajo often passes nice stuff down to those of us who are more slack than him.
though with al lthat wrath gear and ragnarh fading away he might be forced to respec prot :D lol
again, nice job, will cause newer people to feel there is a point to going to the new instances, since previously aq40 for new ppl would mean no loot, big repair bills
