Raids: more damage, more rewards?
When fighting a raid in group, the player who account with more damage receive more reward itens?.

I really do think that your rewards are very dependent on how well you do. It's not always a TM when you contribute greatly, but you may be rewarded with other things. Here are some real life examples to back it up...
I was in 2 Tyranitar raids where it crashed on me. I rejoined and the battle was over. I barely contributed = I got no TM's
I was in a Snorlax and Tyranitar raid where the game didn't crash on me. I was able to use my 3 Machamp (2400, 2100, 2000) and my Dragonites (3100, 2700, 2500) and ended up getting a charged TM from both raids.
I was in a Alakazam raid yesterday with two other people. I was the highest level. We beat the Alakazam easy. I caught the Alakazam and got Confusion/Futuresight. The second highest player got PC/FS. And the third best got Focus Blast as the charge move. I forgot what the quick move was on his Alakazam.
Just yesterday I took down an Alakazam with one other player on a different team and the bar that shows damage done had me 3 to 1 over my buddy because of counter choices and his game lagging. I received 12 revives, 6 golden razz and 0 rare candy. The Alakazam I caught had 87% IV's with C/FB. My buddy received 4 revives, 6 rare candy and 4 golden razz. His caught Alakazam was 93% IV with PC/FS. I had 13 balls and he only received like 7 I think. I don't think there is any correlation between performance and rewards at all, just how many balls you get to throw at the end.
You're correct based on my experiences. Except for the number of balls you get, the rest of the rewards are totally random.
(Editorial: If Niantic would simply increase the odds of getting a TM based on contribution to a raid and/or the status of your raid medal, I think that would go a long way towards increasing player satisfaction. It would certainly increase participation and excitement. I mean, it would be a huge incentive if each raid I finished slightly increased my odds on the next one.)
Wow. That sucks! I must be getting very lucky with these raids. I'm pretty much guaranteed a TM in a level 4 raid if it doesn't crash on me. I did a solo Machamp raid a few days ago and got a TM there too. I almost solo'd an Arcanine, but couldn't finish the job. Someone else joined in and I got 2 TM's from this raid. Not too many people are seeing the same results.
