Crystal Tower Loot wasting resets

[Holyhunter]

I was doing Crystal Tower today trying to get my Crimson Vest. The Crimson Gloves dropped from Thanatos, which I didn't want or need. I zoned to the Walk of Fire before clicking pass and just assumed that because the windowed had closed that I had passed on the items.

While fighting the enemies before Behemoth, this popped up in chat:


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. Normally in Crystal Tower, if everyone passes the loot is just thrown away and normally in ordinary dungeons if you don't roll on an item, it is considered a pass. So why in Crystal Tower is not rolling not considered a pass, but rather allows you to still receive loot and waste your only chance at loot of the week?

Yoshida said during the live stream he didnt know if this was possible. Im sorry you got shafted. they really need to fix this.

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

It is not just Crystal Tower. May be you didn't know this yet, but regular Speed Run dungeon people always get item because they didn't click pass all the time. So it has always been like that in any dungeon, if you didn't choose anything, it consider you choose "greed".

They've already stated this was how it worked. Make sure you pass.

And where did they state this? Not seeing it in the patch notes.

Rewards in the Crystal Tower
You can receive only one reward item per week for completing duties in the Cystal Tower. In the event you are awarded an item from the loot list, you relinquish your right to vie for all remaining items regardless of whether you selected Need or Greed. In the event the time permitted in the instanced dungeon has expired, and a reward item is obtained automatically, this will also count toward the weekly one-reward limit.
* Reward eligibility is reset every Tuesday at midnight (JST).

I saw that. It doesn't apply here, because at no point does the OP say that he ran out of time in the instance dungeon. If anything, he's saying that he continued the dungeon from there; and I sincerely doubt that the first 2 bosses took the entire raid time for his group.
