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

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

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.
