CT Loot System 1.876 millionth thread about it! Bad game design.

If you get loot that you don't want simply by not passing in a minute, then something is wrong.

I didn't get revived and now I'm stuck with a crappy dragoon chest piece when I'll probably never play that job.

The discussion about auto-obtaining a piece of loot if you don't pass is a valid one. However, your post made it sound like the reason you got stuck with the loot automatically was because you were dead. This is not the case. You can pass while dead.
