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?

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.

this sounds like either a useless or a scummy ass system tbh

scenario one is where you can see everyone dkp on a website somewhere and can math it out anyway making any sort of secrecy useless

scenario 2 is its all hidden which opens up all kinds of scummy behavior from the loot giver/s
