Also, it is pretty unlikely that having a dps do a mechanic such as keep up a 50% healing debuff on the boss is going to take them all the way down to a gray parse.
The tougher thing is figuring out how healers fit in. We have fights with so little damage taken that I end up having nothing to heal, which really makes my logs look bad. Fortunately most gdkp don’t really bother checking healer parses. When there is a lot to heal, I do well (like if the disc priest dies)
Depending on the organizer, I’ve seen the following rules regarding cuts:
I’ve also seen intentionally confusing and esoteric cut rules like “organizer gets 12.5%, tanks get 4.75% of the 12.5%, top dps gets 3.25% of the 12.5%.” I feel that organizers do this to make it harder on people to calculate what they are owed so that the organizer can scam.
Stay away from GDKPs that have overly complex rules.
Pretty standard yes, however it 100% must be outlined BEFORE THE RUN GOES about the parse requirements.
We remove peoples cuts all the time based on DPS but they know far ahead of time the requirement… Trust me, its a very very low ceiling. If they arent hitting the abysmal 30 parse requirement we place, they are actually a full carry.
Nah, read the bit about how the GDKP was actually a ‘guild run’ that needed some spots filled. I’d bet money at least 1 of the PuGs one an item.
((Reading between the lines.))
So this was really just a guild-wide scam to steal coin from “outsiders”.
its a PvE server… literally all that needs to be said.
Dented head central.
Yes. This happens. We’d have to see the DPS, but all 7 is fishy. In that case the guild should have given them a cut and looked at how they pug tbh.
All 7 pugs being bad? What are they looking at when inviting?
This. GDKPs are fairly lenient. I’ve gotten hefty cuts and even extra cuts when playing poorly or just geared poorly.
This was either a scam or these players were like pulling single digit parses.
I would agree. If All 7 pugs were bad something seems off. I could see 1, 2 or 4 but all 7 – doubtful.
If this story is accurate, then it seems like a guild scam to me.
I’d follow back up with whomever ran the GDKP and ask them what they used to determine DPS and you’d like to see the data (and no, using recount does not suffice).
Further the next GDKP you run, make sure you are running logs.
All the more reason to raid with a guild and skip the BS that is GDKP.
