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:
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes, 4:9-12.
“Science is a system of statements based on direct experience, and controlled by experimental verification. Verification in science is not, however, of single statements but of the entire system or a sub-system of such statements.”
—Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970)
