So, I have been playing on warmane since it was called Molten, and I'm very displeased to see what the guild's have become.
There is not a single guild that doesn't use the DKP system, which in case that you don't know what it is, it's a system that ''rewards'' guild memebers with points for doing raids with other guild members, which can be used to ''bet'' and gain items during the run.
For example:
Jhon, is a veteran, he's been playing since the WoW LK Retail, and he just joined a guild with the DKP system, and he is on his first run with them. After defeating all bosses, Jhon is rewarded with several points and now it's time to bet on the items. First item is one that he needs, so he will bet all of his 300 points on it, so he whispers the raid leader, ''300''. After a few seconds the bet ends, and the raid leader announces the winner, a guild officer who bet 302 points. Another item comes by, a glove that he was farming for a very long time, so he bets all of his 300 points again, and so the raid leader announces the winner, an old guild member who bet 305 points.
Now, from just this example we can already see many problems with the DKP system.
It's used on the premise of rewarding good guild memebers, that the more you raid, the more items you will get, but the problem is, if you are a new player, you will never be able to bet agaisnt an older guild member, plus, if you don't raid enough, you will never be able to compete with those who don't have a job/school or life and play WoW 24/7. It foces you to play with the guild, making WoW kinda feel like a job instead of a game.
Another problem that comes with it it's corruption. Let me ask you, what is the best part of rolling a dice? It is unbiased, it's pure luck. Officers and Guild Leaders and are not always so nice as you think they are, the raid leader (which will always be a officer or a guild leader) can basically cheat and tell one of his friends how much he should bet in order to secure the win.
And if that wasn't enough, other guild members can see how much you can bet, so can they basically put just +1,+2 points and secure an easy win, leaving you with nothing.
And it gets even worse, did you ever hear about inflation? Yeah, it can happen on DKP system as well, I have seen some guilds who don't have a maximum ammount which let some player get ridiculous amounts, allowing them to monopolise a whole run.
To summarise, the DKP system is a broken mess that only rewards old members and feeds on the new players and should be considered to be a scam by now, nothing will be better the pure, unbiased, true luck with a one hundred sided dice.
CHANGE MY MIND.
