P.S. Vulture or Itera can you please make me vDKP / iDKP? <3
give me some specs for what you want for dkp thing and I'll do w/e. or itera can do it if he wants. either way we'd just need the specs.
been a long time since I remember talking to shibou about it, but basically (iirc), exodus's dkp decays over time. I think they set a time period like 2 months. the idea would be that 2 months after you gained dkp for someone else buying an item, it becomes worth zero again (both in gained dkp and spent dkp). Thus:
1. Any dkp you blew(spent) 2 months ago on whatever is in a sense forgiven -- you keep the item and 2 months later the cost to you was 0 dkp -- this encourages buying loot early and you can still have just as much dkp as anyone else 2 months later when you get to the hard parts of a dungeon
2. Any dkp you gained 2 months ago and whored is forgotten about -- if you didnt spend it, you lose it. This discourages lootwhoring where you are completely worthless for an entire raid zone while you wait for the 19th boss's heroic mode loot to drop and just raid in full ulduar gear in the mean-time.
I don't recall the exact specifics (if the dkp of an item is worth 100% for the entire 2 months duration or however long you want... or if it slowly decays from 100% to 0% over those 2 months). But basically it's something like that, encouraging spending points in the now so that everyone actually has better gear early on, but still allows you to save dkp if you really want to lootwhore for that heroic trinket (at least for a short period of time).
