Interesting Rules... (or dumbass)

[Greatdanes]

Oh I forgot to add, though I realise nothing officially has been said: I'm glad to see that most agree that the system is practically outdated. What I am seeking is it's removal from future raids, I don't want anyone else feeling the way I felt last night! - Hey this game is supposed to be fun!

Yea true Shep but this rule have being practice for ½ year now and this is the first time someone is complainted. Will a change make more people happy or will we get more complaints, thats the question.
 
Will we have to change the rules every time someone is displeased with them or do we have to live with it?
We do have 40 or more people to satisfy.

Well then GD, I think it might be the best for all our sakes that we adopt the dkp system is king but with issues like those trying to gain full sets being referred to class chat. This way no-one can blame the system and I think everyone in class chat is sensible enough now to maturely discuss these issues. If they can't then they shouldn't be raiding with us.

I'm probably not the only person to have been annoyed in the past 6 months about this rule, and admittedly my case is pretty extreme so I'm going to take it worse than others. You've got to take into consideration these extreme cases if you are going to use across the board rules, as they are going to come to the surface and sting you every once so often.

The rule kinda backfires. Say, someone spends dkp on every single set item that drops trough an run, and they get the last piece that maybe Paladin X wanted, because they spent their dkp fast, and got 1 more item than Paladin X and they get it.
I wont say my thoughts, because the've been said

For clarification, over the last year I have been training for shooting (I shoot in national British competitions for my university)

The sight of you shooting stuff, and going BOOOM!!!! HEADSHOT! pops up in my mind..

Bwahahahaha, and for further clarification:

"BOOM, HEADSHOT!"

Well Shep - I don't say I disagree with you and do think this rule is kinda odd and we atm discussion this issus and hopefull will find a more up-to-date method to do this in the future.:smile:

Thanks GD, and thanks to the other Marshalls for discussing it.

Seems like the rule should be dkp 99% dictates the winner, with maybe some set bonus possibly overruling if a) it benefits the raid greatly, and b) both parties agree.

Hmm, wonder if it's possible to write a mod that knows items, bonuses, what items are on people in a raid and thus show the ML/RL what bonuses are available from a prticular drop to each person eligible, maybe with a weighted benefit score related to the set bonus or somesuch, and maybe get their dkp (if mods allow http connections):

[ Boots of Bubble'N'Hearth             ]
[ some stats                               ]
[ some numbers                           ]
[ -------------------------------- ]
[ eligible parties:                          ]
[ Padding (dkp:40) Benefit rating:2  ]
[ Shep (dkp:5)      Benefit rating:6  ]

So Shep would get them (If padding agreed) cos the benefit score ( to the raid) would be greater, since shep always needs to run away
