Crystal Tower loot lock out from being the last person in the dungeon.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or working as intended; so here is what happened. I was the last person in the dungeon and I did not lot for the item. My lot window was still up and the loot automatically dropped into my bag when everyone left me alone in the dungeon.

Now, I am locked out from getting the item I wanted this week because of an item that I did not want was automatically placed into my bag. I also did a search using the title that I used here for this thread and I didn't find anything on the subject. I was wondering if this is something that is being looked into?

Edit:
I'm glad to hear other people have had the same issue as me. Let's hope they starting re-evaluating how loot is distributed in CT before more people start experience what we are experience.

I don't think I did the report properly but this is something similar to another thread created here:

This is something that has been in place since beta, if any amount of people have not made a choice on an item and nobody else greeded or needed it by the time the timer expires or you're the last person still in the dungeon, it will randomly assign it among those who have not made a choice so as the item does not goes to waste.

I am surprised you are not aware of this, given what happened to you I presume you never paid attention to your loot windows. I have no empathy for your cause but for what it's worth this is the game's behaviour since it's earliest stages.

I knew this happened in other dungeons. It shouldn't be happening in dungeons where there is a loot lockout. I didn't even have 10 seconds after the last boss died to make a proper decision as to whether I wanted the item or not. Everyone left immediately.

This happened to me during the first week of 2.1 I was locked out of loot on the dungeon by a body piece I did not need or even desired, thus missing on a week of loot on CT

Had this happen to me today primarily because I'm on PS3, and loading/skipping the last-boss cutscene takes a good 15 seconds. Party ditched the instance quick since it was loot no one wanted. Said loot got dropped to me before I could even open the window to pass it.

And as mentioned, it's not a 'bug', but it needs to be fixed, at least in this instance given the lock-out involved.

Got the Bard's chest piece for this week from this as well, when I was trying to get the Fuma body for my Monk :T

Though unfortunate, I'm glad there are others who have had the same issue as me. I was awarded a PLD circlet of light when I believe I had already selected pass. I have to agree that in dungeons with a loot lockout, the item should not go to whoever still has not decided in the end. In other dungeons this feature works fine, but when you are unable to loot gear you can use for a week because you wanted to enjoy the cutscene you had never seen before, this is really unfortunate. I was hoping to do a few more crystal tower runs this week, but instead I was left with no reason to go on day one with a piece of gear for a class I have not even leveled. I hope a change is made for this type of loot lockout in the future!

I had the same issue yesterday, my party left while I was in the loading screen and I got stuck with the bard pants. I was going for the tank pants.

Greetings,
