I've decided to step down from DKP after almost a year of doing DKP for WLPH. Meeks will take over DKP from now on.
It is my responsibility to make sure loot is distributed fairly and for the best benefit of the guild, and against my advice our DKP has lost much of the fairness and thought that goes into loot distribution, I will have no part in this.
The direction in which our DKP system is going such as; blindly docking players DKP for things they are not at fault for, charging for for fucking vanity items, allowing the hording of DKP, not sticking to what is said, numerous disagreements about specifics of DKP, are all examples of things I don't want to be responsible for.
This stepping down from my "responsibility" is not something that I spontaneously decided on after the Four Horsemen incident last night, I've been talking to Meeks for a couple weeks about DKP now. My ideals and sentiments about our DKP have became mute and my responsibility to keep things fair and to the best benefit in the guild has been slowly abolished since WotLK.
I don't want to get into specifics again, but I've never been for DKP docking unless it's for obvious things such as falling off the ledge at Eredar Twins or blowing the raid up on Solarian. We've been docking DKP for train sets, holding up raids, dying to flame walls when players have tons of adds dazing them, people dying to no heals, people dying to players in the wrong place chaining damage, etc. to scare people into not dying?!
I docked zero DKP the night we finally downed three drake Sartharion, and in fact most of our first kills I never docked DKP.
If you ask me what needs to be done to prevent players from fucking up? What we did for Felmyst was perfect, listing what people died to and how many times, and the next time we went in there players either figured it out or sat, and we downed Felmyst with no fear of loss of DKP. When healers fuck up I PST them and identify the problem and fix it, I don't scare them into performing, at least I hope I don't.
I was upset when I said I didn't want to do DKP anymore and was called out for "not doing my responsibility" because my responsibility is to distribute loot as fairly and for the best benefit of the guild as possible which against my will is not so anymore. This has been an ongoing issue well before the Four Horsemen incident and I just wanted everybody to know my reasons for not doing DKP anymore are not personal (rather a disagreement in ideals) and I've voiced my displeasure with the way DKP is going without change, so I'm agreeing to disagree but will no longer enforce it.
I'm not mad or disappointed at anybody specifically and I probably could've spoke up louder about my disapproval with our DKP, I've been frustrated with it since about the time we handed out thousands of DKP for faction leaders and I think it's time I step down. I'm confident Meeks will do a great job with DKP and I'll help him get it going and maybe help with WWS and creating a list of fuck ups to fix to improve the situation rather than just bitch about it.
This thread should answer all questions people have been asking me about DKP and I see no reason to further reply. Please PST Meeks or Alyse for specifics about DKP from now on. Thanks.
