Loot system suggestions, thoughts, and your opinion!

There really is no time to ask to "pass or greed", most people have rolled before one can even open the chat, let alone type something.

With 3.0 changes you can now pass an item you already rolled on. Just ask them before you cast your lot. Or alternatively, ask before you kill the boss? It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Btw, what would you call "need abuse" if not needing on stuff you do not need?

I don't see how it is abuse if that's the system's intended use and you don't go against any rules you agreed to when joining the party (greed only, locked loot).
An example of what I would call "need abuse": You join a farm party that agrees to greed only, but you roll need anyway.
