Up until now, I've been charging 1/2 DKP for Main and 1/4 DKP for Off on Trophies of the Crusade. We've spent the last two weeks giving them mostly to off specs and while we haven't "sharded" any of them yet, it's getting close. I don't like the fact that there are some people I never see roll on these. I know some classes have sub-optimal tier gear, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible that EVERY tier piece of yours is bad. I'm also concerned many people aren't comfortable spending DKP on an item they can get in 10man for free.
Edit: Note that there will be a bit of "Firecrest's Discretion" thrown into these going forward. I will be asking to make sure you have the badges available or will soon. I will not be giving the same person more than a couple in one raid. I will give them to frequent offspecs over trials and secondary raiders. I can't treat these the way we normally have done "free" items in the past (which is to give it to the person who wants it who has the highest DKP) because then the same person could get every single one of them from a raid just by virtue of having top DKP. If I make a call and you don't like it, suck it up and wait for the next boss. Normally I'm open to discussion about this kind of stuff, but these just drop way to frequently for us to be holding up the raid while someone whines about not getting it.
So starting next week (or with our HM Anub kill), I'll be reducing their cost:
Main Spec - 1/4 DKP
Off Spec - FREE
PS - Stop hoarding your DKP, you stupid idiots. Your sub-optimal gear makes our whole guild's progression harder. If it's an upgrade - fucking roll. Thank you.
