Just got screwed over in CT.

[Ragz]

Happened to me as well, didn't pass fast enough... BAM, you are done for the week!
BLM Body, which I really want dropped same run as well and no one claimed.

Have a bunch runs where everyone passed on every single drop this week.

I had to do 3 runs to get 1 piece of gear I wanted. in those 3 runs I saw Monk 5x, smnr 2x, healing gear 4x, Bard 1x. I wanted the smnr/ blm gear but the first drop was boots, which I already had.

Copying my post from MMonster's duplicate thread:

Did you join in with a full party using Party Finder with 'watch cutscenes'? If not then you run the risks of this happening. From now on just skip the cutscene. It would be unfair to just let 'whoever defaults it gets it' to bypass the loot limit, otherwise people will just wait the 5 minutes for it to tick down without rolling, and if someone does roll vote-kick them.

Now the CS part may not apply to you, but the rest does. Guess you'll need to be faster with your clicks next week...

It happened on the last boss. One of our FC members were forced a BRD hat because everyone in the party left as soon as the last boss was down.

So in CT, there isn't a 300 second timer?

I thought that the system won't default to anything until the timer runs out?

Try queueing with a friend and agree to not leave until both of you have passed. I know it sucks to feel like you have to group up if you prefer solo play, but it's the safest way if you don't think you can pass fast enough in a full pug.

That is true as long as there are still people around.
If everyone leaves you automatically get the item. Same thing happens in every dungeon as far as I have seen.

Did you file a bug report?

[Mikedizzy]

Yeah that sucks man. I had already pre heard about that before the content was released so I made darn sure I was always on the ball with the loot drops...sorry that happened to you.

You know what the loot rules are. Something dropped and you did not want it so at the very least I'll agree that SE should have in place a player NEEDS to have rolled on an item to receive it at all and\or have the loot lock out rule applied. Be sure to post this in suggestions both forum and in game. I'll join my voice to yours. It's a logical solution if they insist on loot lockout systems.

The only thing you can do for now is practice faster loot selctions. It' only a week, and if you ever do decie to play the job for said item, you have that piece of gear.
