Raiding as we go forward

[oldmandennis]

I'm a little suspicious of "participation points" inflation being countered by heavy bidding. It could just as easily be amplified by collusion and light bidding.

You are right, that possibiltiy does exist. You need to state that it is against the rules, and hope you have a good enough group that people don't cheat. It's really against your interests, unless all the warriors conspired to keep prices down on warrior gear so they could buy all the weapons that rogues wanted. So far it is working for us. As long as noone is cheating, the heavy bidding absolutly can keep things in check, as players drive up prices so people spend an appropriate amount of points, and usually end up with nearly nothing after a good purchase. Average point value among regular raiders is about 25, at which point you usually see something you like and can afford it, but it pretty much wipes you out, sending you to the back of the "list".
