How to run raids to maximise the number of participants

We are a T7 raid guild who have the problem with finishing to fast...in the raid that is ;) . We want as many players to get rewards - without removing the competitive element.

We have tried a few restrictions, but they all have their shortcomings:
  1. Only 1attack in the first 24 hours - hard to check and really give an advantage to teams with a great Teebo
  2. Only let people attack during phase 4 if they haven't attacked before - less prone to cheat as the advantage of attacking in phase 4 if smaller, but recently we race to fast through phase 4 anyway.
  3. Only 1 attack with 1 toon the first 24 hours, with the goal of scoring as little damage as possible - haven't tested it yet, likely the next thing we will try.

Do anyone have better ideas?

    We have been trying option 2. I'm interested in what you find works well! :-)

    a) sacrifice period, that way everyone can get rewards
    b) keep the competition open and healthy, don't set limits (other than 1 attack). multiple people attacking phase 1 wastes alot of damage allowing more people to attack other phases. it does work. issues may show up later when people are clearing P1 and parts of P2 and/or P3. people that work on the right team (mainly teebo but there are other options) will want to attack P1 for the high numbers. it is a grind though.
    c) trust your people. the game doesn't have an attack counter. set serious consequences against recording damage early and/or attacking multiple times. those are pretty easy to see without an attack counter.

    Haven't anyone "cracked the code"?

    Our guild has a 24 hour 0 damage done. That way we make sure everyone can get in for the rewards. We have players that can solo it. Then a free for all after that.

    We also run a raid where everyone sacrifices and a free for all ensues 24 hours later. We also switch up raid start times because we have a mixture of NA and EU players. We have started to have people 7* their Hans so now we are just encouraging people to be considerate of others with their damage totals and our guildmates have responded really well and there is a team mentality that works well for us

    No, there is not one solution for all guilds. All guilds are in different stages so rules will evolve as the guild evolves. From having to squeeze out every bit of damage to complete T7, to wasting as much damage in P1 as possible, or possibly rotating out phases so others can complete Han shards.
