re: EP/GP and You

0
EP/GP is the system that Peace through Violence utilizes to distribute loot during raids.

In a nutshell, EP/GP tracks Effort Points (EP) versus Gear Points (GP).

Effort Points can be earned by being on time for raids, staying for an entire raids duration, being helpful to guild members, creating raid items (like buff food or potions), killing bosses, etc.

Gear Points are incremented each time you win an item in a raid. The amount added to Gear Points (the item's worth) is subtracted from Effort Points each time an item is won.

Bidding is simple. When an item drops that you are interested in, a window will popup on your screen, much like the loot window you see in 5-man instances. In this window, you can choose to bid in a variety of ways: Main, Minor Upgrade, Offspec, Greed, or Pass. The RL will then consult their EP/GP tool and the person who "bids" and has the highest PR is awarded the item.

Let's look at a practical example:

Prior to the raid, the following EP/GP values are assigned to each raid member:

Corvus: EP = 150, GP = 500

Futhan: EP = 200, GP = 20

Rohann: EP = 675, GP = 950

During the raid, an item drops from a boss that the above 3 members would like to bid on.

The program will calculate a score for each of the bidders as follows:

Corvus = 150/500 = 0.3

Futhan = 200 / 20 = 10

Rohann = 675 / 950 = 0.75

In this case, Futhan would win the item, since his calculated value it the highest. Even though Rohann has the highest EP, his calculated value is lower, since he previously won items during a raid, making his GP value higher.

Let's say the item that Futhan won was worth a GP value of 150. His new values would look as follows:

Futhan: EP = 200, GP = 20 + 150, PR = ?

so,

Futhan: EP = 200, GP = 170, PR = 1.176

Full details concerning this system (written by Corvus) can be found at the following location:
