Pass Loot After Lot

This has been brought up in a couple different threads on other need/greed/pass topics but to me is important enough to get general opinions on.

I think the ability to Pass on loot after you have already lot on it is pretty much a no-brainer. To me, this is something the devs really should look at implementing.

However it is possible that I haven't looked at all sides. Does anyone have any reasons that this should not be a thing?

I agree with this. There's been plenty of times I've accidentally lotted and won something that someone else needed and I feel like a total a hole.

Third this. While I haven't run into a situation yet where I would need to do so, I've run with a couple people who wish it was there, would have helped them. Specially on WoD lockouts.

Yes please!

I agree totally. Why isn't this available right now? Accidentally lotting on things happens often, especially when there are two or more items in the loot pool. Someone has 2nd item highlighted, goes to hit greed/need but right when they do that, first item drops in someone's inventory and now the 3rd item becomes 2nd item and . . . oops.

Or I have lotted on items in coil because "OMG something for my job!" But then I look at it and realize I don't want that and should let someone else who may want it have it.

I fully agree!

I needed the Nightmare whistle after I already used mine...... I felt like a douche .....and its a daily reminder ......I can't sale it for x amount of gil to the vendors lol I'd feel dumb in lets say like 5 months they put them on the MB -__- but still I feel like a douche

I'd love to see this implemented. I can't count the amount of times I've absentmindedly lotted on something, whether need or greed, and then figured out that either I already have one or someone else needs it more than me, and I'd have loved to pass it for them. So yeah, we're not all dicks and douches for lotting here...we just make mistakes and then feel like awful people afterward.

Absolutely agreed

The devs actually replied to something similar more than a year ago and it basically boiled down to "Nope."

We've received a lot of requests to make it possible to pass after you've already lotted on an item, but due to the current system as well as prospects for the future we do not have any plans to implement this at the moment....

What? I'd far prefer being able to pass than show who already lotted. what good does it do if someone already needed/greeded on something if we then know who? Just lets people get mad sooner?

There's been loads of times in my group, someone has immediately needed/greeded on a drop not really thinking about it, only to have someone ask if they could have because its an upgrade for them. The original person wants to pass but cant. Sometimes they try to leave the instance quickly but everyone else has already lotted or passed.

I see no need for this feature. Just think about what you want to roll a bit more carefully.
