DKP system explained.
For Molten Core, we use a DKP system for distributing loot. This is a short explanation for those not familiar with our system, and DKP in general.
What DKP does is basicaly award you for participating in the raid with a certain amount of points, and also awarding things like killing bosses with aditional points. You can later use those points you earned, to bid on loot that has dropped. It is there to ensure the more or less equal distribution of the loot. When you draw the line, everyone gets his share of the loot after he has invested his share of the work. Take it as a paycheck - you work - you get payed - you can spend the amount you earned on sweet stuff. If someone has more points than you and has been on more raids, of course he will have more points, then something drops, and he overbids you, he gets the thing you wantes also, but now he spent his points, and he has the item, so the next time it drops, he is out of the picture. Everyone gets his share AFTER he invested some work into the process.
Every time we go to a raid, you have to check the amount of your own DKP and remember it, so you know how much you can bid - its like going into a store - you have to know how much cash you have on your account or in your wallet. You can check your standings at http://dance.rper.org/eqdkp
