24 man raid loot system

Why is this an issue though?
There's already more than enough incentive to not leave the instance before it's done, namely that it will take less time than the 30-minute lockout you get for leaving early, and don't forget the fact that most people running it only do it once a week for the coin and cluster, which you need to stay until the end for.
Secondly it's a 24-man, one person leaving doesn't have THAT much of an impact, even if it sucks. Hell you could say this is a bigger problem for 4-man dungeons, which outside of roulette give you no incentive to stay until the end if you get your loot early AND if one person leaves you lose 1/4th of your team, rather than 1/24th.

Dungeons are much faster and simpler to run and aren't gated one item per week. You can theoretically get every drop in the run, whereas in the 24 player raid it's a gamble - do I roll now and lose out on a piece of gear that might not even drop?
There's the matter where if you're running DPS, you have up to 4 other people you can roll against, whereas in a dungeon it's a maximum of one.
Then throw in how even if you think it's only those 4 people, well oh goodie, one of them rolled on loot so it's down to 3, nope, they ran and it's back to four people again because another caster joined.
It's all the more frustrating when you think you're safe because you're the only caster, but then another caster joins and takes your gear from you.
All of these risks exist in dungeon in theory, but they're really not as painful as in a 24 player raid.

Also, between us, when was the last time you saw a loot and scoot in a dungeon?
