    You have 5 minutes to roll on loot, once it has dropped. If you are the only person who has yet to roll (Need/Greed/Pass) then it will drop to you automatically, after those 5 minutes. This is the same system that is in place now.
    This was adjusted later in LotA and ST (back when they still had lockouts). In those instances following the adjustment, if you didn't roll, it was considered a "pass" and you wouldn't get the item. This was adjusted specifically for those instances in response to all the people who complained about having items inadvertently fall to them.

    The actual issue there was that if 7/8 people left right away after the boss, the item would drop to the remaining one person immediately if they hadn't passed.

    There's a big difference between that and having 5 minutes to lot/pass.

    You act like everyone who does this does this on purpose. I assure you that's not the case.
    I'm not buying your lack of awareness excuse. Loot drops after bosses die. Everyone knows this that will be running WoD. Thus, you are aware that loot will be dropping. Because loot only drops after a boss dies, there is nothing in the raid itself that could possibly be distracting you from noticing that loot is there to be needed/greeded/passed on. You're not "busy paying attention to the raid". You are simply not paying attention. Could be chatting, could be afk, your house could be on fire. You are there to raid, not to chat. It takes 2 seconds to lot before you afk. If your house is on fire, the loot lockout is likely not really a concern anymore.
