How do you decide who comes in 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Rancor Raid (when most can solo it)?

Listening too, having the same problem

In the real world things aren't fair, so in our guild we do nothing lol

True, but unlike the real world we can try to implement our own in game system which is more fair than the alternative (allocation by player id). Thats why guilds in this game have rules

A guildmate suggested something that is interesting...during the 0 log period everyone gets to send in 1 toon. Highest so for that one toon is the tie breaker. Liked that better than just player ID. Little bit of hassle but seemed cool

This idea sounds really good! We are currently discussing this right now.

Pros: Is the fairest way and keeps it competitive.

Cons: Requires screenshots from everyplayer to ensure that only one toon is being used. This unfortunely sounds like a logistical nightmare where some guild members may forget to send pics etc.

Our guild just doesn't solo it. We leave some for everyone. Once we get into posting screen shots and whatnot it becomes a major hassle.

Ugh. Too many rules can be frustrating. The only two rules we have are get your 600 and don't start early in the raid. I could honestly care less how I do in the rancor raid. What gear you get is random. I don't need the Han shards. The credits would be nice but really they're marginal.

Why put in all the extra work to monitor this stuff? Just auto the raid and let the chips fall where they may. That's what we do. It's 15 minutes of your life and you want to worry about who gets what when the important part is rng dependent.

In my guild currently 15 people can solo the rancor, its not fair that the same 3 people get the top spots for every raid. And with each passing day a new player gets Zader.

It's the gear im worried about, the top 3 spots get a extra two pieces of gear which definitely makes a difference in the long run.

I've been saying for a while it's not fair. I was saying that when I was getting second place that it wasn't fair for the tenth place player to always get tenth place. Now that we have at least twenty who do it consistently (we have more that can but choose to take zeros instead), and I'm getting sixth I'm still saying it's not fair that 20th, who scores the exact same, doesn't get the same rewards as first and what's really worse, never will under the current system.

Listen, I'm with you on the system needs to be changed. All I'm saying is, I hit auto and walk away. I don't want to sit there and watch it to stop my toons from doing their thing nor Do I want to sit there hitting refresh for two minutes while everyone else completes phase one. Nor do I want to play whatever other system someone wants to put into place to make things "fair". I have better things to do with my time. I hit auto and my raid is done for the day. Adding rules where there shouldn't be any is a waste of everyone's time.

Is it so hard for the developers to just let them tie and distribute first place prizes to all that tie at the top? Say if 10 tie for first, give them first place stuff, then the next score below those get 11th place prizes, is it really that hard?
