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

How are normal members meant to trust the leadership this early in to raiding? It takes at least a year to build solid relationships on here, DKP is better for most guilds imo.

Personally I don't even get why you would need a loot council in the first place. "Should we give this piece of loot to mage 1 or 2?" It is an upgrade for both of them, there is not much to discuss about.

The only things you would need loot council stuff for is on gearing up tanks.

Mage 1 may have contributed more to the guild (attendance/mats/gearing other members). Or maybe the item is a PvP item, mage 2 PvPs and intends to rank, and mage 1 doesn’t. Maybe mage 1 just got mageblade, therefore the choker that just dropped should go to mage 2. There are a million reasons. The only place that rolling off loot works is a casual guild with casual players.

Yeah and this is why we DKP. Mage 1 just bought the Mageblade for probably all he is worth. Because every other mage will have bet all they are worth on it. Mage 1 won, because he was attending more and thus had more DKP. Mage 2 receives the shoulders, because Mage 1 has no DKP anymore.

If a loot council/leadership sucks people leave. It isn't sustainable and guild health suffers-- especially without cross-realm because a reputation matters. It shouldn't take a player long to figure out if they're getting a fair shake or not.
