After having experienced the 3 major gear distribution systems (voting, dkp and dicing) I can say that dkp is by far the most efficient while dicing is the least efficient because gear gets spread out so easily. Dicing by far is the most fair system because everyone has an equal chance at loot after a boss, which is how a lot of games work. Dkp is the least fair imo as you’re not getting any good gear if you’re unable to invest some of your life into the game because you’re so busy in the real world. Dicing by far has the greatest effect on a server (free servers) as it promotes a very healthy economy.

Voting is in between dkp and dicing in terms of fairness, but it may become more unfair than dkp if the leaders are bad and there is heavy favoritism involved. Voting is also in between dkp and dicing in terms of efficiency, but it may become more efficient than dkp if the leaders are flawless as they can redirect gear to the best possible person manually. But nobody is perfect and voting leaves the clans doors wide open for corruption which often infects the leadership.

And Ik fairness is considered to be subjective, but I view fairness as everyone getting an equal chance at loot. Others argue that fairness is rewarding the ones who work hard. That may be true in a job setting in the real world, but cmon, it’s just a game lol.

Have you seen some people on here? Lol. It's not just a game. They don't have jobs so this is their job.

Dkp will always be the most fair system and rewards those who attend every boss.

That’d be true, but some people have so much dkp built that playing casual will never get you good gear. It’s not necessarily fair for everyone who’s forced to play casually. Yeah it’s a little more easy going once the players get everything they need... but those are also the types of players to make like 3+ alts as well lmao. By far the biggest complaint against dkp, even with decay (decay actually just forces you to be even more active lol).

Efficient? Yes. Fair for everyone? No. Fair to the ones who have all the free time in the world? Yes.

I don’t necessarily agree with this. We have a few people who are almost required to multi-log at certain bosses due to lack of general numbers or particular classes. How do DKP clans handle the fact that some people are putting in far more effort than others? If I log 4 high maintenance characters for Bloodthorn, do I receive the same DKP as someone who is mostly afk on a poorly geared ranger? That doesn’t seem fair. On the other hand, I wouldn’t expect every character I log to have an individual DKP pool. In that case, why wouldn’t I load up 6 instances of an emulator and passively gain DKP for toons that aren’t even needed right now? Allow me to out-dkp you with a character that I used 4 skills on during the entire raid...

Good. Casuals shouldn't have the same amount of gear as those that play 24/7 that's good design, not a negative.

Kinda unfair though that they’re unable to invest as much as others who don’t have a busy life ,_, Unless if they should drop out of school or quit their professional job, go work at a low stress job at McDonalds, lose their house, lose their wife/girlfriend, move into a lonely apartment, all so that they’re able to invest more into Celtic Heroes lmao. Some people have gone down that path before, and that is no way to live life ._.
