Crystal tower gear should be a need or greed, and not de funked gear on warps.

It stupid if you do not pass fast enough you get the ******** , well can look on the internet on all the gamers terms.

It once a **** week that ok but , and if you did not pass fast enough you got it ***** , a piece you did not want. So then that week good by or rage quit for some. Or like well down road got that gear for the job.

It should probably be fixed, yes, but you say "if you do not pass fast enough" like it takes more than 4 seconds (out of the five minute timeout) to click the loot popup and click Pass.

I haven't seen this issue yet. I normally don't need or greed for any of the items until later in the week.

Cursing is a good way to get your point across. I suggest you do more of that in civil discourse.

Oh, it's mindful (and this thread) again.

Why are you waiting to roll on Loot is the question here.

Each boss has a break between them, it takes me all of 30 seconds normally to decide if I am rolling or not out of the 5 min allowed.

Because Some people load out of the CS faster than others and if its not gear they want they leave. Now if your being all herp derp and comparing stats then sucks for you. But they could at least keep the 210sec or whatever the time is when you open the chest before the lot falls.

I don't understand why loot gets distributed before everyone votes to begin with. I just see no reason for it.

this is my fear after clearing the last boss... that my team will go poof and i will be stuck with something i dont want/need.

ps. is this the DRG/MNK week for loot in CT??? seriously... RNG = RNG (except this week)

This is actually a pretty big issue. If you're in the video scene or something and everybody ditches before you get a chance to roll, you get stuck with the gear. It happened to my friend who came to CT with me and he was quite pissed, getting gear for a class he didn't have yet.

it's not that hard to understand - Everyone but you leaves = Party disbands = loot auto distributed. Seeing as you're the only one to remain, it will go to you like solo loot rules. So its not a bug, it's just poor design.

It's hard to understand because what is the difference between that and waiting until everyone votes? If everyone leaves and last person greeds, it's the same as current. If everyone leaves and last person passes, then they dropped the item willingly. It completely avoids the issue with CT and makes it less annoying for people like me who don't want trash constantly taking up space. Again, absolutely no reason loot should be distributed before everyone votes.

There is TONS of time to pass. If you didnt then its your fault.

... then obviously you have not been that person that didnt hit the skip button fast enough at the last boss.

I'm on a slow computer, it is normally at least 5 seconds before skip cutscene is an option, then another 5 before I'm back and able to open up the loot. It's not unusual after last boss for 3+ people to have already left from my alliance by the time I even know what dropped.

Thank you for pointing this out. From now on, I'll be waiting on the last chest loot of CT till everybody is clearly out of the cutscene and has maybe even chatted about the last drop before exiting.

I was aware that this happened from speedruns, but I never thought about it in CT and in context of its loot lockout system.

The issue is if you are the last one in the dungeon and still stuck in CS or still thinking about the loot, when everyone leaves, it automatically drops to you.

...you can click the (Loot 215) bubble while the CS is playing. You can need/Greed/Pass WHILE watching the scene!

I like to be the last person to leave a dungeon, to make sure everyone gets what they need.
Best to at least ask everyone if they're all set before ditching.

loot systems a pathetic joke happened to me ps3 typical slow loading screen by the time got back to game screen bang everyone had left got some onion armour for a class i don't play.. game masters a fucking useless won't do anything was basically told it was my fault and to complain to change the policy.. at a weekly lock out tis just a stupid way for se to extend there content for more months till 2.2 and lets dick some ppl along the way!!!
