1-3 gets more rewards. In pit, you get 3 pulls as opposed to 2 pulls in 4-50. In AAT, you get 5 pulls as opposed to I think 3. Now on top of that, the higher your tier placement is, the more each pulls will contain. Say tier 1-3 gets 40 furnace salvage, top 10 gets 30, top 20 gets 20. I know those might not be the exact numbers but it's something like that anyways. So they're rewarded higher there. Think about that over time, if you're always in the top 10, you are far wealthier than those in the bottom tiers. Oh then there's guild currency and credits. Don't tell me you'd rather get the bottom tier payout for credits and guild currency? That stuff is valuable. Even if I can't participate in a raid fully because of something going on, I'll at least send a team in to auto battle the raid just to beat it all the guildees who don't care and just log a zero and call it good. Gets me more rewards.
