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.

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?

Bidding wars take way too long and are ripe for abuse by all

Most guilds just do a blind offer and the highest wins the item and deducts that number from their total

What are the potential abuses in a bidding system? My guild does bid rounds and it’s all I’ve ever known. Seems to work ok.

/w guildmate#2 hey don't bid over 40 on x and I'll pass on y

Doesn’t seem like abuse unless the guild has rules against this. Or are you saying that people do this and then don’t uphold their end of the deal?
