🧠 EP/GP Loot System

Core System

A priority-based loot system driven by:

• EP (Effort Points) → earned from participation
• GP (Gear Points) → added when receiving loot
• PR (Priority Ratio) = EP / GP

👉 Higher ratio = higher priority

How Players Gain / Lose Priority

• Gain EP → raid attendance, boss kills, weekly quest
• Gain GP → receiving loot
• Weekly 10% decay reduces EP & GP
• Base GP floor prevents abuse by new players

Why This System Exists

• Reward consistent participation
• Prevent loot hoarding
• Avoid new player abuse
• Self-correcting over time

🎯 Tiered Auction

Players choose loot priority tier:

• High → 100% GP cost
• Medium → 75%
• Low → 50%
• Off-spec → 25%

Highest priority tier wins → then highest EP/GP ratio → tie = roll

🔄 Point Decay System

• 10% weekly decay (EP + GP)
• 50% decay between raid phases (Base GP preserved)
• Base GP ensures minimum fairness floor

🧪 Recipes / Patterns

• Must be usable and learned
• Prioritized to mains
• BoE items go to guild bank if unusable

🎲 SR (Soft Reserve) Raids

• Players may soft reserve items
• SR equal for all participants
• Priority order:
  MS (Main Spec) > OS (Off Spec) > Alts
• +1 system applies to MS loot only

👥 Mains vs Alts

• Alts can only roll Low or Off-spec
• Mains always have priority over alts
• Exception: raid leader assigned alt = treated as main

🔍 System Benefits

• Rewards attendance & contribution
• Prevents loot abuse & favoritism
• Scales across multiple raid teams
• Reduces officer workload
• Encourages long-term engagement
