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:
“It seemed pathetic and terrible to me and it still does, that men and women work eight hours a day at jobs that bring them no joy, no reward save a few dollars.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
