Like Jack said - he and Abe and I can't possibly know all the nuances of all the classes. So we will be relying on the Class Leads to let us know if someone's being stupid. Hopefully it won't be an issue but don't be surprised to see forced loot or a lack of raid invites if your gear lags behind everyone else because you're hoarding DKP.
Sidegrades and minor upgrades are a different matter. It's kind of a shitty way of having to do it but "officer discretion" is the best way we know how to handle these things. If so-and-so got X for reduced dkp and you think you should get Y at a reduced cost, bring it up to Jack or I after the raid. But if you're going to emo out if we tell you that we're deciding to still charge you full cost - you might as well just leave the guild now and save us the headache.
Our system is easily one of the best I've ever seen and Jack does a great job managing it. It's not perfect though so we have to do the best we can with what we've got. As always, if you ever have a problem - see an officer.
agreed, it's one of the best I've seen, but as Jack said.. it's obviously not perfect. The reason some people might not want to pay 1/2 dkp for a 1h spell dmg weapon in comparison to 1/2 dkp for a spell staff should be obvious. Spell staff takes up 2 slots for 1/2 dkp, while if you take the 1h spell dmg weapon you still have to pay 1/2 dkp for an offhand now.
It would balance the system a little bit more. There's really no need for people to get hostile over it lol. Whether we keep our current system or change... in the end both are still fine methods.
