Lum points out that that may not be all they’re discussing. […]

No. Really. (I blame AFKGamer for linking to what seemed to be a sane forum. I KNOW BETTER NOW!) […]

Any well thought out DKP setup is actually going to reward the newer players, especially if they join an existing raiding guild that manages to clear any raid instances- older, well geared players won’t want the gear from MC- they’ll just be along to get points for AQ or BWL- newer players will get their pick of gear (similar to running the 5-man lvl 60 instances with raiders who go there for whatever reason- you can score 2-3 items per run, because they’re not going for the same reasons you are).

The major things that get people up in arms about DKP- badly designed systems that permit collusion between older raiders (most auction-based systems, actually), and the painful changeover from non-raiding to raiding guild (especially with certain DKP setups, this can get exeptionally nasty- even the best setups really only work once you’ve gotten to a stable point).
