Crystal Tower Loot wasting resets

[Teleniel]

The way the system works:
need rolls against need (all greed / pass / no-decision treated as pass)
-- If nobody "needs" greed rolls against greed (all pass / no-decision treated as pass)
-- --If nobody "greeds" then all no-decision get a random /roll assigned (pass treated as pass)
-- -- --If EVERYBODY passes then the loot hits the floor.

If you can't obtain the item (you have one / you have left area) it will fall to the next person in line.

If you pass on an item in Crystal Tower it will tell you "Unable to obtain item" if everyone passes, which means that it's tries to give you the item but can't. There's no reason that a no-decision should ever be treated as anything but a pass, especially in a place where you can only get one piece of loot a week

My only chance at loot for the week was wasted on gloves that are worse than what I already have just because I didn't actually click pass.

This just happened to me, at least it gave me an excuse to quit running CT. I got the BRD legs from the last boss forced on me because my entire party zoned out quickly after the last boss and I hadn't clicked anything. Additionally, I think I saw about 6 pieces of gear actually get picked up from 5 complete runs, so the overwhelming majority of gear is simply rotting.

Edit: On a positive note, I won't have to look at the silly looking BRD myth legs once vanity slots hit.
