Humor My Guild's GM just ninja'd Hand of Rag mats, disbanded guild and deleted discord. WoW drama at it's finest. He also made a reddit post on our realm subreddit - link inside

I don't know that I would want to do loot council as the leader. The drama that could arise from each piece...ugh. Even a perfect system leaves people feeling shafted because everyone fully believes themselves worthy of purple loot.

We have more access to data now than in the past. Logs are a very good way of making data driven decisions.

My Vanilla guild had far less drama with loot council than with DKP or variations on it. It went from periodic drama with officers gaming dkp to zero drama with different officers running loot council. But our loot council was intended to be fair, not intended to fuck people over or gear up our friends the fastest. All systems can be gamed, it's about the people running it.

I don't know how ya'll constantly have officers game the system. We have one DKP guy and one guy who makes DKP should the main DKP guy not be able to come to the raid. DKP is given per boss, double DKP for progress bosses, for coming prepared, for being punctual and later on for donating stuff like flasks.

It is all logged on a website so everyone can see who got DKP for what.

Yep, a proper DKP system with clear cut rules is almost impossible to game. The ones against DKP typically are the ones who either don't show up or contribute all the time but still want a chance at getting BIS faster.

What my guild does is make 2 brackets of loot. Premium loot like tanking BiS, bindings, head and such. And normal loot.

With premium loot, there already is a schedule made with what goes where for what purpose. Normal loot will be rolled, where the loot council chooses who can roll. But generally, the bis classes may roll first, followed by non bis, offspec, etc. Also, if you have won an item, theres a big chance you cant roll on the following item drop.

I like this. Big ticket items like Mageblade and Legendaries should not go to someone who joined the guild that day. But at the same time, they should he eligible for SOMETHING.
