They were specifically testing your assertion that a non-roll is treated as a pass, which disagreed with what they previously stated. Such a test can only be performed by letting the timer expire, which cant happen if the other people leave. So reading their chat log: Line 1, they loot a chest. Line 2, it asks them to roll. Line 3, the other player in the party helping with the test rolls(we know from context that they pass). Line 4(and 5), after 5 minutes have passed and the timer expires the loot is awarded to them.

So indeed, the system is treating it as a 4-tiered roll system. Need as tier 1(beats all but a better need roll), Greed as tier 2(youve indicated you want it, you beat anyone who passes or doesnt roll but still lose to any need or a better greed roll), blank as tier 3(you didnt say you want it, you didnt say you didnt want it - so you get it if no one else wants it - one would guess it randomly assigns if no one rolls anything but i havent tested this), and pass as tier 4(you didnt want it, you dont get it).

Wrong. Both players were in the instance. Feel free to go test it. Please test it before continuing to post misinformation.

Based on the log, NotRin clicked Pass, not Need or Greed.

If you're the only one in the instance (because everyone else left or you're soloing) then all loot is automatically given to you, unless it has a weekly restriction. In other words, you won't pick up current raid loot if everyone bails before you had a chance to roll, thus locking into an item you might not of wanted that week.

"No answer" is only treated as Pass in current normal raids and alliance raids because of the weekly restriction.
