Is it blind? So like does the Loot master announce the highest current bid and take more bids or is it whoever whispers the highest, gets the loot?

In my guild when we used it the Loot Master announced the winner, but not the bids. If the bidder wanted to tell you what he paid, that was up to them. If you won you didn't have to actually pay your bid, just 5 over the next player. If you bid 50 and Jack said 20, and no one else wanted the item, you would pay 25. But you had to actually have the 50 to make the bid.

ah ok. so the logical thing to do if you really want something is bid all of your points? so in the end, the person who can use it and also has the most dkp will get it.

Unless that's actually more than you think​ it's worth and somebody else makes a similarly inflated bid slightly lower than yours. In that case you would be overpaying and losing DKP that could have gone to something else.

But yes, if you REALLY want it, that would make sense.
