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).
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(.
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
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
Potential disadvantages over other loot systems
No rewards for desirable behaviour (like punctuality, potion grinding, joining wipe runs)
Does not take into account or track if one player gives more dedication to raiding[going more times] vs another.
Somewhat disadvantageous for hybrid classes or classes needing resist gear, since they are interested in many more items than "pure" classes.
Raid Members at the bottom of the list have a potential to bid more since they have less distance to Suicide, thus allowing potential access to more gear.
Different lists (i.e. A List for All Raid Gear, and a List for Tier Tokens) allows the potential for a member to receive more than one piece of gear on a run where gear is restrictive in a 25+ man raid.
So in Short this is a system to award all raiders even the ones not able to attend verry much,
This way no Heaps of DKP can be built up whereagainst u would have to compete,
Each raid has its own Suicide Kings list. Read part 2 for more info
