So yeah we have tried...
Me and another officer from my guild,we have tried to make it work,it doesn't.
He is always top 3 and i'm always top 7-10 depending if somebody missed the timer.
We tried,taking 1 single character,entering at exiting at different times,him taking 5 characters,me taking only one or three,entering sooner than everybody,exiting sooner than everybody(first),taking the same characters,undergeared characters,overgeared characters.
We did these tests for 1 month to no avail...
Still nothing.
Initially we thought that it was alphabetically,my name starts with an A ,his with an N,that was soon proven wrong.
Our guild leader speculated that there might be an PW/GP discrepancy between us.
There might be something to that as he is 1.56 mil,and i'm 1.46 mil,but it's untested.
WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES THE LEADERBOARD,it's becoming pretty frustrating now,alteast make it random,he doesn't want to be first but he wants to play rancor and now he just said he's going to quit doing rancor ...

When you register damage for the first time you are given a number between 1 and 50.
Then it sorts by score first then your numerical value.
I'm always top 7-10 for 1 month and my friend is always top 3.
Yea we have similar situation. Having that problem for around 1 year is clearly not random stuff.
U roll the dice 100 times, all the throw show number 1. It's not random anymore, it's rigged.
If all 50 members posted 0-damage, you would be put in the same order every time based on your Player ID. Say, ten people solo the raid, those ten people would have the top ten spots, but ordered the same respectively to each other from the initial 0-damage posting. At that time, it was not determined by RNG.
After they changed it, currently, all postings are given a random number from 1-50, as Kyno stated. So you would show up randomly in the 0-damage posting. Once those ten people solo the raid, you would all hold the same respective order to each other that you held in the 0-damage order, just in the top ten spots.
Example:
0 - john
0 - jake
0 - josh
0 - jacob
0 - juan
0 - jessica
0 - jasmine
0 - jennifer
after solos
solo - jake
solo - jacob
solo - juan
solo - jasmine
0 - john
0 - josh
0 - jessica
0 - jennifer
