I have one member of our guild using AirplaneMode in our guild when we do RANCOR. Multiple times hes posted scores after the Raid is over pushing me out of the Top3. He wont address the issue & as an officer, I need to know if he has an unfair advantage. If u can, please explain to me in detail the benefit of one person using it while noone else does. Thnx

Lol, the only reason to use airplane mode is so you don't log damage early by accident (if you have a 0 damage time). Airplane mode allows him to safely preload damage without messing up the raid for everyone.

There is no "advantage," unless he is preloading damage (and only if preloading is against the rules). If he is pushing you out of the top 3, it means he is capable of doing more damage than you.

How it was explained to me - airplane mode does not allow you to connect to the game and therefore not post any damage. If your guild has a 0 damage for 24 hour policy, he can start the raid before the 24 hours are up and not violate that rule. In airplane mode, he can complete phases and go as far as he can, and the game will not post his score. This means that he could theoretically solo the raid before the 24 hours are up, not post because he is in airplane mode, and everybody else starts in phase 1. His number one advantage is that he can have multiple tries at soloing the raid without violating the 0/24 rule. Another advantage that he might have if he can solo the raid is if he does and then posts his score right after the 24 hour, then the raid is over and the results timer starts. This doesn't allow anyone else to get in the raid and those that are in it only have one chance and an hour to post their best score. However, you state that he is posting his damage after the raid is over, so he doesn't seem to be trying to use that second advantage.

You think it's unfair only because you were pushed out of the top 3 rewards. He did more dmg than you not because he used airplane mode and you didn't. Guess what, if you used it too, he'd still beat you because we all know it doesn't give anyone any xtra dmg. You are just sour that you didn't get top 3. Now there is no rules against u or ur other officers/gm to make sure none of your guild members can rank higher than you in raids so u all can funnel gears to ur selves. But don't come on here and pretend u r somehow a victim of someone who cheated and seek validation of your own selfishness.

Obviously it irritates me, but i truly dont want to alienate him. Please dont respond w/ "Well why dont u use it?". Im not simple. I just dont want an unfair advantage for myself or some other d-bag.

I have 1 person in my guild using airplane mode during RancorRaid. PLZ Help

does the damage only count once he backs out of airplane mode?

Yeah, when he turns airplane mode off the damage logs.

interesting. How many guilds or people do you think use it and would you recommend it?

At the very least it gives him an unfair advantage because he is free of the time crunch of the opening round as 25-30people are all going at once to get their opening round points before it starts the 2nd tier. My guild beats heroic Rancor (like most everyone else) in about 25min, so its a free-for-all.

Well that's not entirely true either, unless he starts his attack before FFA starts.

Virtually every heroic guild with people who can solo/do large dmg use airplane mode. I fail to see how it gives anyone an unfair advantage since it is available to everyone and it doesn't break any dmg posting time/phase rules. If anything else, this guy is being nice to everyone by waiting until the raid is done to post his dmg. He could have posted 1sec after ur wait period is over and finish a phase or the whole raid as soon as ur dmg period started.

So the raid can end and be in victory status and once you back out of Airplane mode it will log your damage?

No it isn't, in now way shape or form is he getting any extra damage out of it. If anything in your example it's being used as a courtesy to not end the raid early for everyone else.

He might not even be using airplane mode. He's just finishing later than you do. After the Rancor is dead, there is a 1 hour period you can still post damage if you are still in the raid. He isn't doing anything wrong.
