Ok so it sounds to me that people don't like the idea of using ones dkp however they feel.  I am fine with forming rules on the use.  It was brought to my attention that some felt bidding on an item you already have simply to drive the price of the good up was non-benificial to the guild.  

I would have to argue that a good is only valuable to the guild if people are willing to spend to get it.  If someone has 30 points, and they dont think a item is worth them spendig 12 points on it, then it wasnt that valuable of an item.  It basically breaks down to greed.  One can horde all of thier points for a really cool item, or they can spend them on every little item that comes along.  The great thing about dkp, is that it is like cash.  you can buy what you want, cause you earned it.  Who am i to tell you that you cant buy something you have the points for.   Sure one can argue if an itemis a better item for a mage v. a warloc, but who cares if the warloc wants it and can buy it.  

The strategy of driving up the price is simple.  get others to spend more of thier points so that when a good item comes up, one has more points of their own, and will be able to get the item.  If i only have 9 points, and you have 20, you will be able to assure that you get the next 2 items for certain.  and when i can only run 1 out of three times, and someone else can run vertually every time, they will always be able to get the goods.  Making it pointless for me to run, cause i will never get teh reward.  But buy gettign that person to spend  7 points for crap and then 6 points for more crap, then when a good item comes along, I can win it.  

The great thing about the dkp system, is that it is a capitalist system.  If you have the means, you can buy what you want.  there is no socialism of taking care of the guy.  If that is the case, then we should get rid of the system, and compare everyones gear, and only give an upgrade item to the lowest geared person until everyone is equal.  I dont think anyone woudl like that, but that would be the best way to &quot;help&quot; the guild.  

the good thing about the suicide system is that it gives everyone a shot at an item without having one person being able ot buy everything.    Just a thought to toss around.  I would like to have some clearity as to the guild opinon on this topic.  And that means every officer, not just 3 people.  I am more than willing to ajust play to accomadate, but i need a majority vote, and consensus.
