DKP going into the system would be 320 and at 50 dkp a set item, only 150 dkp would be coming out of the system. So their would be 170 additional points of un accounted for DKP in the system. These types of systems start to see problems where players have tons of extra DKP that they will never use.
Yes, this extra 170 DKP would never be spent. And every boss that has a set DKP value greater then what is being spent will only add to this. While it is highly recommended to have a savings account in real life for future expenses and retirement, your toons in the game do not have to deal with these issues. If you don't believe me that this extra DKP is unspendable, lets follow through to the next boss, Magmaddar.
Lets say he is worth 6 DKP to each member for the kill. 40 x 6 = 240 DKP into the pot. He drops 3 items worth 60 DKP each, so that is 180 DKP. So lets assume the raid spends the maximum points it can on the items in hopes of spending the extra DKP from the Luci fight. So it spends 180 DKP. Upto now, the entire raid has earned 560 DKP (320 + 240) and spent 330 (150 + 160). This leaves 230 unspent DKP. This is
up another 60 from the 170 unspent from Luci. The raid failed at spending the extra 170 DKP from Luci, and it added another 60 to the pot. Its going in the wrong direction.
I ask you this, if you can't spend it, why have it? Remember, your toons can't retire on it, or use it for future expenses.
Why do we do Onyxia once a month?
Once a month is a little off Sassi. Icthus just started leading it two weeks ago and during those two weeks we put in 3 attempts (downing her twice). Right now he is driving across country to his new home in California and once settled, he said he will settle into a rythm with Onyxia.
Why do we not seem to do ZG anymore?
We just did ZG last week, how does that seem like we aren't doing it anymore. Saddly because Gnome won't be leading it anymore, the frequency we were doing it will go down. But on the other side of the fence, Goblit and I talked to Mystique and Niccii about having them lead ZG runs that we are invited to go to with them. That can start as early as tonight.
When do we plan on starting BWL?
After 3 successful attempts on Rag will ensure the team is properly geared for the greatest opportunity for success in BWL. But we may venture a few forrays into it after we take Rag down the first time. That could be as early as this weekend.
What if I'm in school when we start BWL?!!??!??
Then after you get your homework done, you can join us. Seriously, you are 3 hours ahead of our scheduling times (based on server time), that gives you plenty of time to get it done.
Enjoy the ice cream, and may you not get brain freeze that you can't handle.
