Karma system clarification.

There have been some concerns that our karma system is unfair since sometimes running the numbers for an individual does not add up to what you think it should be.

The karma module works as follows:

1) If you win a roll on "class" item (Tier set pieces for example), you will lose a minimum of 25 karma to a maximum of 100 karma. This is the design of the karma system to balance out class specific drops and is handled automatically by the in-game karma module (the loot master DOES NOT control this).
2) If you win a roll on a regular loot item, you lose 1/2 your current karma.

Here is an exerpt from the WoW Wiki page on the Ni Karma system:
"Remember that there's still a minimum 25 point loss on all class items, whether bonus was used or not, and a maximum loss of 100 points. That means it's the players best interests to roll with bonus on class items if their bonus is 50 or lower, because they're going to lose 25 points when winning no matter what. The plugin actually forces a 50-point "bonus" roll on class items if they have the karma, due to the 25 point minimum cost for class items. "

If you want to read about the full Ni Karma system and how it works, please go this web site: http://www.wowwiki.com/Ni_Karma

If you still have questions about the system, please talk to an officer in game, but the web site has all the answers you need if you read it.

MALYGOS DOWN TO SECTION NINE

Heroic (25-Man) looting rules have changed!

uhdollar — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 23:55:44 -0000

Posted 02/14/2009 04:55 PM by uhdollar.

Here is the section of the loot rules that have changed:
(The main raiding rules forum entry has been updated with the below change).
http://sectionnine.guildomatic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=265

9) Raid Loot Rules.

In the interest of fairness and to insure that all members have the same opportunity to acquire gear, the following looting rules are in effect.
Epic gear items must always go to main spec members first!
There is no exception to this rule!
If your main spec is healing, and tank or dps gear drops for your off-spec, you may NOT roll against that item unless the item is not needed by any other raid member and it will wind up being disenchanted.

This guild uses the Ni Karma system for raid attendance and participation in the following 25-man heroic raids:

1) Naxxramas
2) Eye of Eternity

For all raids in which karma is used, any member can roll MAIN spec NEED for any item at any time on any drop, karma bonus and nobonus will be applied.
If an item is passed by all main spec players, then the item will go to GREED, or off-spec. Karma bonus and nobonus can be used here as well (most players will nobonus the off-spec rolls, but you never know, maybe someone really, really badly wants an off-spec item for PvP or something).

For all other raids in which karma is not in use, the following rules apply:

Each raid member is entitled to roll on ONE epic item per raid for their main spec (this includes default rolls on class items). More than one item can be obtained if and ONLY IF all others in the raid (main spec only), either pass on the item, or everyone on the roll list also has received at least one epic on the current raid. All epic items CURRENTLY apply to this rule, even Tier token item drops!

The looting rules may be modified and updated as raiding conditions and gearing levels in the guild change, so check this posting frequently for changes and updates.
