I guess I should answer this because I was the one inviting at the end.
If you sign up on the PHP site it gives you priority in the raid issue was we had 26 people sign up for the raid last night. When it came time to roll DPS I took the people from the sign up and compared it to the Wait list. Then I Rolled those people only.
This is how the invites went after the people of raider rank where invited. Signing up on the php site does not say you get in the raid automaticly. Your Odds are better if you have raider Rank.
BTW I had 7 people on the WL after the Raid was full.
Please Refer to the
REDEEMED RAIDING POLICY
25 Man Selection Process
The 25 man raid teams will be selected in the following manner:
Non-Farm Bosses (i.e. Progression Bosses)
* Raid is announced over Guild Chat and the officer with whom you should send your 'WL ADD' to.
* Members that have the Raider rank will receive priority over Members
* Raider members that have signed up on the PhP site will receive priority over those that haven't
* If all 25 spots are not full, Members will be invited (priority going to those that have signed up on the PhP site)
* If at any point, more than 25 attendees are present and online, slots will be randomed for. If a member is added by a /random roll, they will receive secondary priority on /random rolls on the the next attempt on the same boss / instance. This is in order to maximize the number of people that get to see that when we have a surplus of people available for raids.
