DKP Reward System
The reward system used by the program is based on time-based DKP. Some other DKP reward systems are based on that one log is taken for each raid or encounter and that the DKP spent during that raid is then distributed amongst the participants in that one log. There are a few problems which such a system, mostly that the system is open to abuse and dependent on the raid itself. The result is that people who leave early or arrive late will get as much or none of the reward that people who stay the whole raid receive. People might also be more reluctant to join raids where little loot is produced with such a system.
How exactly the time-based reward system should work can be configured from inside the program. It can handle a wide range of bonuses, weights, zero-sum distribution modes, guaranteed rewards and log setups. See the configuration readme for a full list.

Famous quotes containing the words reward and/or system:
“Still it wouldn’t reward the watcher to stay awake
In hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break
On his particular time and personal sight.
That calm seems certainly safe to last tonight.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
