Hi Folks,
As of recent, we've been taking a closer look at the distribution of loot amongst our guild memebers. Some members also control "boxed" characters or extra toons that they bring along to the raid.
Generally, these extra toons generate 0DKP when boxed unless the raid leader feels the presence of said box is contributing to the success of the raid in a capacity otherwise not readily available.
Meaning boxing that 15th druid at the fire minis hit probably won't warrant DKP on that box. But being the only druid or one of a small few would be a vast difference.
At any rate, we've been entertaining the idea that these boxed toons should not be able to take priority for loot (outbid) other main characters in the guild also bidding for the same loot.
But, Boxed toons DO contribute, so we needed to find a happy medium. Our solution is to place a cap of 50DKP maximum bid by any boxed character.
Basically, if you are controlling 1 toon, you are free to bid as you wish. For each extra toon you bring, that boxed toon can only bid up to 50DKP on any specific piece of loot at any given time.
Please share your thoughts on this, the policy will be going live pending this discussion where some more viewpoints can be examined and possibly change and strengthen this idea.
