search the web for EQ DKP - our attendance tracking system uses a version modified for WoW. You can probably find it setup for WoW if you look around. The particular one we use has additional heavy modification done in-house.
Hope you know how to work with SQL!

EQ DKP is more of a basis for member management, we really don't use any of the loot aspects of that system other than entering items in.
The rest of the math/calcs we use are completely in-house designed, as is all the code that goes along with it.
We're ultimately an officer award driven guild... always have been, always will be... the only reason we have the system is to ensure we don't accidently overlook someone, and to track what people have received, that's it's primary role for us.

Fine management > complicated algorithms
In the ~year I've been with Agony I don't think I've ever seen a loot dispute. Other than the ones I start for the sake of teh dramaz.

Our loot system sucks! I've been over-looked for every piece of gear I've ever asked for to complete my uber-l33t Thunderclap Set!!
Warriors need spell damage too, damn it!

Oh yeah... congrats Anni! That was probably the most coherent post you've ever written!

I actually stopped using the loot system about 3 months ago Annihilate.
What I've constructed now is a series of dart boards for each class. I also have a "DPS" "Healer" and "Tank" Dart board. When a piece of loot drops I throw a dart at the board and the loot decision is done.
Hope this helps.
