Changes on the Horizon

Although it served us well in the past, the Resurgent loot distribution methodology under which we operated throughout BC raiding is being retired. We will be moving to a customized DKP system that is based on the concept of zero-sum. For those who may not be familiar with the terminology, zero-sum DKP is a system in which individuals earn points when loot is distributed and use those points to purchase loot that they want. It rewards individuals for consistently participating in successful raids, encourages thoughtful consideration on loot choices and serves to “spread the wealth” equally throughout the raid. It is not perfect, but it provides more structure than we’ve had in the past.

As I mentioned, the new system will be customized to meet Resurgent’s objectives. The details have been drafted and are being fine-tuned as you read this. Very shortly, I will be posting the detailed framework of this new system in these forums to solicit input from those interested in Resurgent. The goal of seeking input is to help ensure that the rules are clear, all reasonable scenarios have been addressed and the system conforms to Resurgent’s objectives. After a set amount of time, Resurgent leaders will consider the feedback received and post the finalized DKP rules. It is expected that this new system will be in place once Resurgent begins heroic raiding. Until the time that the finalized system is posted, we will continue to operate under our existing loot distribution methodology.

Please keep your eye out for additional information.

I hope we get to keep our DKP from pre-BC. After all we put in the time and effort back then to earn it.

Re: Changes on the Horizon

Gaze, we're kicking around the idea of awarding some bonus starting DKP to certain individuals. As always, we're trying to be as fair as possible. More to come...
