true, towards the end Perci declined quickly it seemed. But in its prime, Perci was right up there every night with Guinevere, Lancelot, and Merlin. But yeah it's strange how even then the big guilds and alliances managed without DKP and there was little to no complaining (at least on any of the many runs that I made). Probably the fact that you could craft an epic level weapon and then get it spellcrafted to your specific need reduced the competition to get the limited "uber" items. The sense that there was something that was nearly as good that could be acquired for a lot less effort and made custom.
