Yeah I was looking at Kamien's work for the Juggernaut loot system and it looks like modern-day EQDKP+; except the latter actually has in-game addons to track attendance
The more DKP we had, the higher likelihood the officers would award loot, but it wasn't guaranteed. It was like the original Electoral College but for loot.

Guild progression should always take precedence. Like your top tanks and top deeps and healers should always get first dibs on loot so your guild can actually progress, right? End of the day it will never be 100% "fair" to some. But the point is to be as transparent about all this shit as possible.

In modern WoW the tanks were lowest priority on anything unless tank-specific. I can't tell if that was a meta shift because of the way the game is designed or if its a meta design from the community.

Loot and drama. The main reason most raiding guilds fall apart. I wonder how real life pirates dealt with it. "Arr matey THAT'S MINE!. I did more DPS on that gold filled galleon! To the yard arm with ye!"
Buff out the main tank (or whatever is the critical class) first and hope he sticks around long enough for the rest to get theirs.

No. Healers went OOM all the time, tanks died due to lack of heals, tanks lost aggro constantly. It was amazing. Healing took effort back then with canceling at the last second.

Right but in theory, if one ever managed to find her way onto the internet, she should probably get less loot.

I would describe it more as reverse DKP+loot council. You gained points for looting shit rather than spending points to loot shit, and your points were modified by your attendance % and decayed over time. Lower points = more likely to be awarded an item. There was no point hording, and shitty attendance over the short-term would balloon your total.
It was originally modelled after the loot system Triality used in EQ, although we changed it a ton over the years. But I will happily brag about it because it was the best loot system ever. It required a decent amount of work though.
We also forced people to make BiS lists so the officers and I knew which items were the best for each class/spec.
