If you’ve read my article about EP/GP, you know that one of the benefits of the EP/GP system is that you can award EP pretty freely without corrupting the system. While the same can be said of merit based (but not zero-sum) DKP systems, the amounts you can award are limited because they represent direct [...]

It’s Raining EP
May 28
/ignore Guildie

A long time ago, I was fed up with the verbal diarrhoea that constantly spewed out from the husband of a friend in my guild. It wasn’t crass, it was just idiotic drivel, and it.never.stopped. In the end, I had to /ignore him to keep my sanity on that particular raid. That worked just fine [...]
