What's a preclear and how does it work?

As title. Usually people start spamming Zone chat in PE before the DD event. How does it work exactly?

    From my understanding it is clearing out the entire dungeon except the last boss or some nonsense, and then some magic happens, then Dungeon Delvers starts so you clear out the rest of the dungeon and BAM you get the extra loot.

    Clearing a dungeon upto the final boss if possible before the DD event starts at which point everyone logs & out and back in then runs back through the map & kills the boss, loots the DD chest and they still have 55 minutes left of DD which is enough time to exploit their way to perhaps another 4 DD chests during every DD event.

    What's this "some magic happens" ? Fight club exploit? Can you clear everything till say Karrundax, leave dungeon (how? run to the entrance?), re-enter once DD is active and just kill Karrundax and it will give you the chest anyway?

    Alright. So the instance won't reset if everyone logs out. Thanks.

    As long as one player stays until any of the other players have got back in.

    Your intended to get the DD chest if you end the dungeon during the DD event, and start it before (as the skirmish event works)

    Relogging is a workaround to a bug, not an exploit. Was explained by a dev.

    So yea, just relog.

    Careful tho, if EVERYONE relogs at the same time, the broken queue system will take control and randomly kick players and replace them. So only do a cpl at a time.

    I see.

    So A B C D E clear dungeon till Karrundax, DD starts, everyone logs out (and so out of the instance?) but E, they get in, then E logs out and in and now everyone will have DD with dungeon cleared.

    IMHO this should be by design.
