I, for one, much prefer the current method of Need, Greed and Pass. As well as the personal drops you can exchange for stuff not dependant on what your party members get. Even though point 1 through 4 were always favorable to me, this is far FAR more fair to everyone. Too much drama over the other system.

I'm still amused at how much **** I got from people in XI for carefully attending all the raids, doing my part as an officer to dutifully record the points (I got no extra points for this, mind you, I just ran the DKP), and because I was paying so much attention to who was in what ranking, and also helped developed the schedule, knew exactly how much to "bid" on items to both maintain my DKP lead and also get all the stuff I wanted.
The biggest whining was over the Kirin's Osode I won for my bard, which was level 71 at the time. "BUT BUT BUT" they said. So much drama. 1. I had the points; I had more points than anyone. 2. We didn't have a rule about being able to equip gear and my bard was going to be 75 in a week anyway and then it COULD equip it 3. I WAS LEVELING THE JOB FOR THE FRIGGIN LINKSHELL BECAUSE WE HAD NO BARDS.
I agreed, need/greed/pass is better. That, and the ability to farm endlessly until you get what you want. That's nice.
