I agree that requested hits such as epic hits and whatnot SHOULD have some form of time requirement or attendance requirement that needs to be met...I've only been in guild a short time and feel that as of yet havent really been there to help out as much as I'd like...I really hope that changes soon =/. I'd eventually like to get my epic 1.5, but know that I've nowhere NEAR put the time and effort into helping the guild as many others have who still havent gotten the help they want or need, and wouldn't even THINK of asking for help on my 1.5 at this time based on this fact...however, obviously there have been a few in the near past who have had no objections to doing just such (or so I just read in this post, Ive really missed alot of the goings on in guild with my terrible schedule and current absence) and I really dont think its fair that anyone be able to demand the time and effort of those who have put more time and effort into helping the guild and its members.
I'm not entirely sure where I stand on the issue of charging DKP for hits (great lot of help I am). I do believe it is fair to charge someone for the guilds time...but Im not sure if a flat rate would be fair to those who have a considerably larger amount of hits to get to the same result (i.e. epics)...I liked Nennie's idea of implementing a scale of sorts to determine just how much DKP should be charged depending on the hit.
I don't really like the idea of a lockout on the request...sure it would get old if the same person kept throwing up the DKP for the hit every time it was attempted and failed, but as long as no one else was requesting a hit then I feel it would be fair for them to be able to retry as soon as the guild was willing to do another epic hit. Chances are there wont be a time when only one person would have their DKP offered up for a hit, and the person who just had a hit would just be moved to the back of the list after an unsuccessful hit, or after throwing up the required DKP for another hit.
At any rate, its late, and I'm pretty sure like, none to half of what i just posted made any sense, and even less was even necessary to say as it had already been said...anyhow, sorry for the long and probably completely incoherent input, and I hope to be back soon to help out regardless of whether DKP is being charged for the epic hits or not.
