EPGP

Updated: March 15, 2011

Purpose

These EPGP system is used with a few goals in mind:

  • A system that rewards time spent in raids, supporting the guild, fighting bosses
  • A system that eliminates the problems of DKP inflation, and wasted loot.
  • A system that makes the loot process fast and efficient.
  • A system that distributes loot in the fairiest way possible.

How is EP earned?

EP is earned on a per raid night basis, taken 2 to 3 times a night.  Usually an ontime, midway, and end of raid.  On shorter nights we only take it twice.  Approximatley 10 to 20 points at each event. 

What is GP spent on

Steel Legion spends GP on any guild raiding runs on all epic drops.  If there is an after hours unschuduled raid, it will be left up to the raid leader discretion whether to use the EPGP system.  Although any I recommend using this system whenever the entire raid is composed of guild members.   Reason for using EPGP outside normal raid time for entire guild runs is because if it was not used, people would not want to run raids during regular times.   After hours or pickup raids, loot should still go to the people who have put the time into the guild.  However if the raid leader or entire raid agrees on something different, I can not stop that.  Although if the EPGP system is not used, I recommend just roll 100 main spec need priority.

Why is there a Decay?

We decay the EPGP system to prevent inflation.  Also to prevent stockpiling of EP.  Both numbers decay, so the ratio stays the same.  Also for raiders who go on hiatus for several weeks, it helps move them down the list, so effectively rewarding the people who help in more recent raids.

BOP Recipes

Rare recipes restricted to professions are handled by the raid leader. The raid leader may just have appropriate members roll, or designate the recipient.

Process for Boss Loot

  1. Pass on something if you can’t use it.
  2. Based on the PR rating, we go down the list on who has priority on the loot.
  3. If the loot is yours, roll need on the item.
  4. Offspec roll 100 if no main specs need it, GP is not charged.
  5. Alts in the run have a chance at loot, no GP is charged.

More Notes

  • Even if you are the only person that needs the loot, you will still be charged.  The GP credit is needed to keep the list order moving, otherwise looting would not be as fair.
