point systems

[nebraska]

Any LS care to share their point system rules and point values etc.?
My LS has recently decided to change its style of lotting due to un uproar of rules being bent/broken by leaders. We kinda want to see how other LSs decide on points.

Info. on LS. We do all dynamis's, Sea, KS99, and all other events in game but GroundGods. (no one wants to camp).

Thx, BM.

This is your problem... if you can't trust you leaders then nothing is gonna work.

Point systems fucking blow, hard. I'm in a LS that uses one and it drives me crazy. If you do have a point system, seperate Dynamis with everything else for christ sake.

basically the leaders have been pointing at themselves now for over a year. and we are only a year old.

If your leaders can't be fair, then your LS is going to suck no matter what. Its very easy for greedy leaders to cheat the system.

My LS runs on a point system. We seperate Dynamis and Linkshell points. Basically, we assign a point value to camping and such, like camping Fafnir will net you 4 points if you don't get claim, 6 points when you kill. Basically, you will require someone to overview who is taking points and that they don't abuse it and award themselves more than they should.

To be honest, I'd rather have a point system than let the leaders decide who gets whatever item. Point system LSs rules out the possibility of corrupt leaders unless they are also taking the points...

looks like the system works if they've gotten away with it for a year.

If you run a point system, make sure theres accountability in the awarding of points and the removal of points. Once this is set, points can work fine. I personally like using the EQDKP system for accountability.

My LS runs different points for Limbus and Everything else. Its not a perfect system but I really don't know of one.

LOL shouldnt your leader get shit first since leaders do all the damn work anyway.

Durrrr

[Mephisto]

the obvious solution is to become a leader of the LS

[Seebo]

Point systems blow. Find a fair leader and let the council distribute the items as they see fit based on how often you play the job, how important the item is for your job, your activity, etc.

Points systems do have their benefits, you cannot get people bitching and moaning about favoritism or things of that nature. One thing that sucks about it though is the damned work behind it. Its a lot of work to maintain if your LS is active, and I'd suggest that you do daily or weekly updates to make sure you don't get behind.

Whatever you do, make sure you split events points up, to an extent. Don't dichotomize everything down to Zilart/Sea/Land/Kings, but definatley don't group things like Dynamis and Zilart drops together.

Oh and if you decide to go with the dkp route, make sure you are very specific about the entrys or changes you make to people's points totals. Random additions or subtraction of points will definatley piss people off.
