Suicide Kings Loot Distribution System to be used for Bloodsworn's Alliance Raid

Posted by Gaius on 10-Jul-08 04:32pm

Due to the constraints of the game's loot mechanics, we've decided to use the Suicide Kings method of loot distribution. Actually, it's a great system regardless of loot mechanics, so I'm glad it was introduced to us.

Here's an Overview of the Process:

Quote:
Basics

The basics of the system are as follows:
  1. Players are put in an ordered list, usually based on a random roll (although some have made attempts to translate the order from a pre-existing loot system). Multiple lists may be used (see below for discussion).
  2. When a new player needs to be added to the list, it is possible to let him "roll in," or simply insert him at the bottom of the list(s).
  3. When loot is dropped, the person who wants it and is nearest the top of the list wins the loot and goes to the bottom of the list.
  4. Players who are not currently in the raid do not move up or down in the lists.
  5. If no-one wants the item, it is up to the guild to decide what to do with it. See the SK FAQ for some suggestions.
Potential advantages over other loot systems
  • Very transparent, and simple to maintain
  • Loot distribution takes place very quickly
  • Veteran players cannot build a large DKP lead, inflation is a non-issue
  • A more casual gamer who does not attend very often can still work their way up the priority list to have an opportunity at loot
  • Works well for motivated guilds who don't need to use DKP bonuses as incentives
  • Encourages people to pass on minor upgrades so others who need more can have a priority
We have added a few extra rules:

1. Players with alts: Only the Toon in the current raid may be advanced unless that player was asked by leadership to play that toon instead of another. Example: I have Gaius and Andraste. Gaius is my main. If I am asked to play Andraste instead of Gaius, both Gaius and Andraste may advance in the lists. If I choose Andraste over Gaius of my own preference, then only Gaius will advance.

2. Players who are present for the raid but not selected to attend will advance. You must remain available to fill in for the raid however at any time to qualify.

3. Loot that drops with noone to claim it shall be distributed by leadership on a need basis. Typically this will be determined by level. Example. Guardian boots drop with no guardians in the raid who need. The boots will be given to the highest level guardian online in the Raid Alliance.

4. Players must coordinate with the other members of their class on who will roll need/pass on any item drops. We will work this process out, but basically it will require organization among the classes.

I have added a menu item to the left for SK Loot. It will have bookmarks and the current rankings.

Bloodsworn is looking for a dedicated recruiting officer. Please msg Gaius or Andraste if interested.

Bloodswon is looking for Archetype leaders. These individuals will be the subject matter experts for each of the 4 archetypes to the extent possible. They will help guide new members in their growth. Gaius or Andraste if interested.

[TRG] and [Deephallow Brewers] are good people

I highly recommend you seek opportunities to group with them. Anna and I did last night for Kylikki's Crypt and it was a great chance. Might be opportunities to raid with them in the future.

Let's build relationships with the decent guilds out there. Not the ones who steal members.
