That's just being petty. Sure there are plenty of people who collect their loot and drop, but often after completing the content several times and their slot will fill in almost immediately. More to the point there's no way to make a distinction between dropping on purpose or for any other reason (power/ ISP outage, PC crash, etc.) so you'd end up punishing people for bad luck.

Adding to this, I kinda feel that the person that got their loot and left is creating a spot for someone that needs loot from the upcoming fights. In that way, they're giving the opportunity to get a drop to someone else.

Let's look at an example:
Let's say you're in WoD and playing a SMN and there are no other SMNs or BLMs in your party. If a caster robe comes up and you select "Need", then the lotting on that item should end immediately and it should be yours. No one else is going to be able to get it.

They understood the point perfectly you are the one who missed their point, instantly rewarding gear because there is no competition against it would require reworking the whole thing when its fully unnecessary. everyone has the right to roll on an item before its awarded regardless of the outcome I'm sure there's some way to glitch or exploit such a change to the system, what if you dc'd before rolling and because you arent there it instantly goes to the highest greed because that's what you are setting yourself up for, you cant have it both ways
