raid attendance

This section covers: attendance procedure, stipulations, exceptions, abuse and inactivity.

attendance procedure

Each persons raid attendance, is the determining factor as to whether they earn DKP and the amount for any particular raid.

DKP check procedure

• At start - when clearing trash, and/or prepping for an event or target.
• At event or target engage.
• At finish - when raid is done for the night.
  

Note: Start/Finish checks are always 1 DKP.

stipulations

To be considered in attendance, you must meet the following conditions:

• Ready for action
  
• In the zone specified
  
• Within range of the raid
  

exceptions

There are no exceptions to the above stipulations.  This includes the following:

• No adjustments for LD / RIP time elapsed.
  
• No additions for joining after RA check.
  
• No other excuses, including real life emergencies will be considered, ever.

The list above, may seem harsh.  But the reality is, there's no accurate way in which the Raid Leader can make adjustments and be fair to everyone.  There's just no taking anyone at face value regarding any situation that may affect ones attendance.  The moment any adjustment is made, it raises speculation as to biases/favoritisms.

Everyone must just deal with the fact, that they will miss attendance checks from time to time for whatever reason(s).  Receiving half credit for a raid, is still better then receiving no credit.

attendance abuse policy

This is to address and stem off possible abuse of the RA check system.

RA abuse constitutes showing up for an attendance check, then promptly leaving afterwards in order to receive credit.

To counter this action, all attendance checks will be unannounced.  The only warning given is that, once we start the raid, within 15 mins a check will be done.  The warning is announced in /raidsay.  This means, a warning is given, and the check could be 1 min afterwards.  Therefore, It pays to show up on time.

Just a friendly word of warning.  These types of abuse to the system are easy to spot and can be tracked using pattern parsing techniques behind the scenes.  Freelance logs everything.  Any abusers will be banned for life from Freelance raids.

inactive raiders

* Be aware: This section will be reviewed and possibly revised at some future point.  At this time, there is no DKP decay in place.  The DKP system is setup to track activity, and simply mark any individual who exceeds the threshold set below.
 
A raider is considered inactive when they do not meet the following condition:  120 days without attending any Freelance raids.
