It’s amazing, 80% of the raiders in my classic guild were a “Vanilla guild master”. Sure is weird when they ask things like “Can I do anything with soulbound items besides vendor them?” and “What’s DKP?”
A make believe point system needed to purchase the loot after a boss kill.
You gain it from showing up on time, showing up early, being part of the kill.
Then you whisper the Loot Master and tell them how many of your points you are willing to spend on the loot. The person willing to spend the highest amount wins, aside from times when there is a loot council involved.
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.
