See some drawback to this. First for 6 peoples that's ok but with a raid alliance with hords of players and some times with more than one raid going on at the same time this system will crack very fast. Second the top of the ladder cant bid for nice to have items since they if so would drop to the bottom destroying any chance of getting the items they go and wait and wait to bid for. If for example an relic breastplate drops from a early mob non of the top of the ladder players will dare to bid for it since they hope to get a better drop in the end. So I cant say this system is any better than the DKP. /Hugs Tash
You will NEVER get a system that everyone is happy with. NEVER. No matter which system you use, it will have it's drawbacks.
This system wouldn't have any problems with multiple raids. You can't be on two at once, so just pull the 48 names off your ladder and freeze everyone else. As for your second point, that's true, but it's your choice. You can sit on the top of the ladder for months not looting anything, waiting for that uber_item to drop, or you can take a drop and get some loot. Also, our raids use a simple /ran 100 for relic. No need to take a drop for it, since it's not the best gear anymore.
This system is alot easier to break into though, and quite often there'll only be 3-4 people who can use any given piece. So you're at the bottom of the ladder... you can go in on absolutely anything and not fear a drop. The other people who can use it may have better, or not want to drop. So on your first raid, you could concevably get several peices of loot. For instance my guardian alt got 3 pieces of Doomrage on one raid, because the only other warrior on the raid had better, or already had the piece.

Oh Gods, the Suicide Kings system. *shudder*. Never again.
I take it you've tried this before? What problems did you have with it that were so bad you don't want to go back?
