Fair. What an odd word for something like this.

Is it fair, that after 8 months of passing down small upgrades to myself to help gear out new members of my class that the 3 items I have ever tried to get were all given to them in spite of my passing items to them before?

8 months. Showing up to just about all of our raids, not to mention the time I spent helping them level up and get the gear that they now have (which is in many cases better than mine). Yet everytime something that is a significant upgrade for me drops, they all get out those dice and get to rolling because it is 'fair'.

It isn't like those that advocate /random aren't just as greedy, but even moreso. They say 'well I only have x hours a week to play, so I should get mine now. You can always get yours next time (when I don't bother to show up)."

I show up time after time and get nothing. It slowly eats at me, wondering if it would be better just to leave these who barely contribute to get their own gear without my dedication and help. I wonder why it is that these people I consistantly passed gear to feel so compelled to going up against me (and most recently even alts are doing this).

Your notion that /random is somehow more fair is false. It really isn't even an argument. You know why those that raid often get more loot in DKP? Because they help more. They put in more time, and show up to consistantly help others. That whole constantly helping others thing is what guildmates should be doing, but often fall short on.

You can judge those that think a point system is a good thing if you like, but by advocating /random you are being far more selfish than they are. If all time was truly equal, and it took you 10 raids to get an Item, heavy raiders would have more items than casuals because they are there more. Not because their time is somehow more valuable.
