People who know they can’t outbid are incented to bid anyways so they get more points back from whoever outbids them. Of course, people who just want to raise the price have to be eligible for the item. A hunter could not bid on a healing item, for example.

What about people pretending to go ‘all in’ or BSing a bid system to force others who want the item to spend all of their points? I haven’t implemented any kind of loot system in our guild yet but we are considering it. Never heard of swaps, but sounds alright. I’m just worried about some asshat tricking the system on the auction part just to make others place outrageous bids.
Suppose you put a bid cap on. What if two players wanted to both match the cap? I am still figuring all this out. who would you give the loot to?

EPGP is better for progression guilds where everyone has all the stuff from normal modes and they spend a lot of time wiping on new content, whereas since we’ve still got a lot of work left in regular modes, our system is fair.

Oh and I think that ‘Rip’ is better shortening of your name than ‘Euri’, but that’s just me.

I have to say though that it feels fair. It prevents someone from being too much of a loot sponge because people getting annoyed about it would simply drive the price higher. The good part is that the price paid is usually directly related to how much of an upgrade something is. For example- I just got giants bane, which is a slight upgrade from the envoy of mortality, but I only paid a small amount of DKP because I had waited for everyone else to get a good Ulduar gun.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been issues with a bid system. Considering revamping my guild’s dkp that’s one of the styles we eliminated almost immediately.
