So I just joined a new guild recently, and they apparently voted that Rancor will go on 24/no dmg and that only one person will do any damage, and just solo it, and everyone else will get a "random" placing. This sounded "ok", I guess, however the placing of people does NOT look random? What determines who will come in 2nd, or last place in this case? I joined the raid once right at the start, and the next time I joined right before damage could start, and both times I placed last ~30th very disappointing this method for this raid. If I at least knew what was the determining factor here maybe I could get better rewards. TIA

Placement is random. My question would be, why has someone got 1st on lock down? Not a very guild centric attitude.

It's random.The person who placed first on sign up can solo it and save 49 other people the 5 to 10 minutes it takes to solo it. It's much more sensible than forcing all 50 players to solo stupid Rancor every 2 to 3 days.

You can tell before any damage is done too, like this time I joined right before the damage started and I was already in last place at that point. The first time I joined at the beginning and was in 1st or 2nd, and then everyone that joined after me just kept knocking me further down the ladder so weird It really is random, a random seed is generated upon sign up which is used as a tie-breaker for identical scores. Anyone who did not sign up would not have his position show up yet but if he also solos the raid, he will also have a random seed generated upon his raid completion.Long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, it used to be based on your player ID, so anyone starting with A was blessed. Mine was rek, and I was rekt real badly.

Also better for the people who aren't able to solo HAAT, since they can reach top places too.

simming the rancor can't come soon enough if you ask me

Question about seemingly "random" Rancor reward placing when one person solos it?

I hate finishing first in the rancor I prefer the better rewards you get for finishing outside the top 20 ?

@jayjonbeach What I meant by "check where you are on that list" is to check it right before the raid begins OR once every member of the guild has joined.

That'll show you where you'll end up.

If you are the 3rd to join of course you can get bumped down the list. It's all random until everyone has joined OR the raid begins, then it's locked.

Why would anyone be forced? Surely it should be a choice as to whether you want to enter the raid and press auto whilst making a coffee.

It really is. My last 3 tank raids I've placed 5th, 8th and 1st. Everyone gets the same score and places randomly.
