regardless of what it says, if you actually took a moment to think about it you would say "yeah i should prolly pass on this loot if i dont want it, because more than likely if i dont and ill get stuck with it, and ill get the loot lockout."
pretty sure they wouldnt implement a lockout just so people could bypass the system, by intentionally passing to someone who didnt roll.
1) Holy crap necro
2) I'm aware of that, and will only not pass immediately if I legitimately forget about the loot window. I was specifically arguing against people reading a meaning into the patch notes that isn't present. >_>
