Whoever kisses ass the most. or use a dice roll or a dart board.In the voting system, if a fairly active main and very active alt wants the same gear, who gets it?
Seriously though, there are a lot of other factors involved, we also use a kind of of voting system when distributing quest items, but it's based of our dkp points system so it's still not complete try subjective. We typically use the overall points earned to determine "how active" one is. how would you quantify "fairly active" vs "very active". for us it's 30%. if the alt has 30% or higher more points, then the alt has same level of loot eligibility as a main. usually though, we always respect our mains over alts rule.
