Recieving Emblems outside a raid

[Zepez]

Just killed Beasts on Northrend on 25 man, and 2 of the group members were outside the instance in Dalaran and both of then got 3x Emblem of Triumph, a quick theory, urm... would this work say if you had 40 members in the raid group but only 25 inside?

If anyone gets a chance to try this, please confirm!

Many thanks

Its a new thing introduced, i died at the black knight in toc hc and soemone looted as i flew back.

i was able to still roll on the stuff when i entered and my badge and champion seal were in my post, mailed to me by The postmaster it said :P

[Zepez]

yeah, these guys didnt get them by mail, it just went in their bags like normal as if they were in the raid instance

[Dwaxine]

Had they been fighting the boss at any point ir were they just standing outside?

Yes they were outside the raid but they definitely entered combat during the start of the fight. ......... and check their logs.... they got saved. Happened to me on ICC 25 the other night. Started Lord Marrowgar, left raid, hearthed to dalaran. 1 minute later they downed him and I got saved and Frost emblems. So, confirmed but useless, and not an exploit (its now intended).

[Zepez]

Nope the fight was started before either of them entered the instance! atall

I dont think this is intended. What would happen if you just invited 15 alts to the raid and then killed him? Would they be getting badges in the mail even if offline? If so this could be abused ALOT for gearing alts

[Zepez]

Yeah this is what im thinking, but not too sure if it would work offline tho? hmm maybe xD

[ctrN]

really nice if u're stand in for someone

[Zepez]

Well we got a raid later, we're gonna inv who evers online to see if they get any emblems... will confirm it later if its working

Not sure if this would lead to conflict in the process but I tried OP's idea and also Mollymuse's at the same time. We invited our 25 raiders and did ToC 25, we also invited 10 random guildies, and my guild leader logged onto an alt account onto an 80 shammy and did a d/c button with it (this meant we 24 manned the instance). We downed beasts and noone outside the instance recieved it, but when our guild master logged onto his shammy, it had the extra 3 badges. In short:

We had 25 people in group, all entered.
One D/Ced (before event started)
10 other people were in raid but not instance
Downed Beasts
10 peeps did not get
The one D/C DID GET BADGES!

I dunno if this is bugged on certain servers or only ToC, but if people could keep testing and test other raids, it would be much appreciated. From my side, confirmed! +rep

Same thing happened 2 me after I was DC, came back as they looted and was able to get the badges while not in the instance.
