HONOR (DKP SYSTEM)

HONOR AWARDED - The Concept:

For those party Leaders running those lower levels through instances and when we team and run raids or quest runs and the leader in the pack is holding most of the weight and getting no XP~ Well this is our gift to you, the HONOR SYSTEM.
You will be awarded DKP (Dragon kills Points) - these can be added on your rolls for those rare items that you really want in those pinches when you don't want to risk a straight /roll for an special item you think you might not see again.

How to use your points:

To participate in the HONOR system involving DKP and have points to spend when ROLLING for items, you will have to first download the ADDon here - DKP Honor System. You will then have access to this feature on your account when in party. It will be under control of the party leader who should read more about the tool on the link at the bottom of the page.

The file needs to be downloaded and then extracted as per the add on instructions (see installing WoW addons), it would go to C:/programs/world of warcraft/interface/addons.

You will gain DKP Points as you take people lower level through runs and on quests, and they will add up on a point based system. You can check your total added points to your account by using the tool at the bottom of our GUILD webpage, or by going to the link http://www.webdkp.com/ and search our GUILD.

This tool is to be used by everyone interested in the DKP program and it will be controled by the Party leader which have to be OFFICERS of the Dark Shroud or Level 30 Leaders with approval. (Those any level 30 or above that has shown to be a valued member of our GUILD, and social network). As an Officer you will have to register on this website as well in order to control the AddOn and have points apply to the website and the tracker at the bottom of our GUILD page.

CHECKLIST OFFICERS and 30+ only:
1) Download Addon
2) Give me your toon name, a password and an eamil address
3) I will then add you to OUR DKP system as a leader/ officer
4) Learn how to give awards to players and run rolls
5) Lead runs on Quests and Instances (where XP is not generally rewarded)
6) Track points, we will have to upload them to the site daily
7) Spend points on Rolls to get special items
8) Build your HONOR with the Dark Shroud! Be rewarded for service!

(awarded points are not available until you log out and then go to the official website and click on upload log and you have to select the right folder under c:/programs/wow/WTF/account/(user name)/saved variables/webdkp.iua - and then upload, it will upload your parties accumulated points into our system. You can not do this properly unless you have been added to DKP by me as an officer).

Researching... more to come.

The Official Scoop:

WebDKP is an addon that allows guild leaders to easily manage the DKP for their guild. It works with a companion website http://www.webdkp.com/ where guild leaders can upload and display their guilds DKP for free. The system was made to be easy to work with. In game guild leaders have access to their DKP and can easily record awards and view changes. Then, with a press of a button all this information from the addon is put online for all your guild members to see. You can then update or tweak the information via the website and view your changes back in game.




What We DON'T Want to Happen:
My guild RUINED by DKP system Help!
10/25/2005 7:32:29 PM RDT

First of all I do not want to start any drama. After several days in Candy Cane Forest Patrol guild I like the members very much. I think there were alot of members who wanted to do instances alot and some wanted to PVP which was a good combination.

But of course there are always idiots in the guild. This one time we were running Maraudon and of course the gun from goblin drops. Hunter loot right?

Well this warrior in the guild (i will not name him) bids 3400 DKP on it right away. The 2 hunters we had in group immediately go "WTF man?" The warrior replies: "Dude it has arcane resistance it's good for blackrock spire".

Of course at this point noone even knows what blackrockspire is ( i was there once, and it was pretty hard). But anyways DKP is DKP so the warrior gets the gun. The hunters are pretty angry at this point, one of them is constantly whining on vent that he didn't get the gun ( i can understand because he was dwarf and dwarfs get extra bonus when using guns).

So we go to princess and the fight is really close at about 15% the MT dies and everyone and i mean EVERYONE is effing yelling at me on vent to battle -effing- res the MT but try to understand BATTLE RES HAS AN EFFING COOLDOWN So i just stand there and try to effing salvage the fight and start spamming moonfire in the moonkin form and GUESS EFFING WHAT, whole group dies and I finish off princess from 2% to 0%.

Group is asking for reses, well guess what, my battle res is on cooldown and the loot is on group loot so i tell everyone to run back, so they run back but all the mobs in the dungeon are respawned and my group is stuck without a healer, they tell me: " ok you have to lose 2000 dkp because noone else except you can loot".

Well what the ef am I supposed to do? I tell them "guys i don't want any of princess loot i am not spending the DKP on it" So they all appeal to our guild leader who is currently farming for his krol blade (he is a really good player with 5/8 valour set, i dueled him once and his seal of crusader procced me for over 600 damage).

So our guild leader tried to resolve the problem by suggesting to compromie with taking out 1000 dkp from my current. I agree of course simply because I do not feel like causing any drama in the guild.

So next day we have a scheduled Temple raid and mind you, our only priest is of course in arathi basin pvping. He just got mind flay and all he does is run around spamming it in AB. I've been there and it is -not- fun.

So we are stuck without priest, without Fort and *gasp* the guild leader says I willl be healing main tank. Now being moonkin specced druid I have nothing against healing but I agree, priests especially holy/disc ones will heal better than me.

I think at this point everyone realized this and Guild Leader WHISPERS to me to go respec. My respecs cost 25 gold right now but gold is not really problem. The problem is that the people can't seem to grasp the idea of letting others play the game they want.

Of course i refuse to respec and i get THREATENED to be kicked out of the guild unless I respec. Thankfully, our only priest finished his AB and agrees to come help us in Temple. Is it just me or priests are best class to play in the game?

We even award them double DKP and all of their class items go for so little that they always seem to be able to bid on druid/warlock/mage gear. But anyways, we start off the temple run pretty well and take out all of 6 mini-troll bosses without a single wipe.

I heal group 2 exclusively and not a single person dies. By the time we get down to lower circle of Temple someone runs the Heal Meters and OMG my healing is about 24000 higher than our main priest's. He suddenly starts yelling at me on vent how i overheal with rejuvenate and how he always "picks up my slack".

I say whatever man I will just use bear form, but I think people realized then that without me they will not be able to survive so they all whisper to me to just ignore this priest.

I say fine and we go on and the raid runs flawless, we get to the last sleeping dragon and 1 shot him (I will admit that was really nice job, and I think only 1 person died due to a slow heal from that priest). Well here comes the fun part, the Dragon's Call epic sword drops, it's a really nice one 1-handed sword.

So our guild leader says on vent to start bidding on it, and of course our MT just spend almost all of his DKP on gun from maraudon and therefore can't bid much. So since noone else wants it, hunter bids about 500 and no one can realy outbid him.

So people are like "ehh damn ". So our guild leader says "guys lets give it to MT it will be more useful when we start raiding BRD" I support him because I really don't want to be stuck doing temple for the rest of my game life and BRD has some really nice loot for druids.

So as a result the vent splits into 2 opinions , about 5 people say we should give it to MT and the rest say the hunter should get it because he has more DKP. I do not know really how the argument would end but hunter just picked up the sword and everyone was kinda sad but like i said DKP is DKP.
It was a nice day of raiding but it basically set the nature of disagreement within our guild and when our MT quit the guild next day to join some other raiding guild next day we all kinda felt down for trying to gear him up all these weeks.

Of course the following day we were spamming IF to recruit a warrior to MT for us but almost noone even bothered applying except for a few obvious noobs. another day gone and there are only 2-3 people left in the guild, including a bunch of inactive people who were never even playing the game anymore.
So this is the end of Candy Cane Forest Patrol guild, i told only truth here so that's how it was.

That being said, I am still an active player and would like to apply to join any good guild, I am currently specced as a moonkin druid. If you raid stuff like BRD or even higher level instances please take me in and i will be a good asset to your guild.

thanks for attention...

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO US~
And Honor will be granted....
