My main gripe with the current system (if you're trying to run (g)DKP systems) is that it doesn't let you much time to resolve the drops: bid war, and then having everyone pass and the winner greeds.

It's pretty hard for officers to find a system that makes everyone happy -- every player has its own motivation and expectations, and the current system is hardly fair if you simply use it as presented (i.e. Need if you can, greed otherwise, pass if you don't care/have it already).

Sure, you can have people agree to pass and such, but mistakes happen often, and some players might actually feel slighted that they can't greed a piece they would love for a alt. It's not because they're not using the job right now that they don't regularly use it, so why can't they get gear for it, and so on.
