Could someone please explain exactly how loot in CT will work?

Title says it all.

Apparently, every party will get a chest. This chest would be invisible for every party except yours. I guess you'll get 1/2 drops per group.

I was more interested in this loot lock I keep hearing stuff about. I would like details beyond "I think" and "I heard from my brothers friends sisters pet moogle".

4 bosses, 1 chest per group per boss. Once you get an item, you can no longer obtain any loot from CT for the rest of the week.

You can run as much as you want, but you get 1 shiny a week.

Well the interview from where that info came from didn't ask far. He didn't ask questions like "Will we get Loot from each boss *Each boss has it's own loot lock*?" And a Very big Question is. " If everyone but the person that needs it doesn't loot on it, will the person that didn't loot but still needs it fall to him?" Or will it be wasted?

the lock-out may not be bad for casual gamers, but it is a disaster for hardcore players and FC.

If a casual player can't play enough to run CT enough to get a piece (because they are casual players and have important real-life things to do (not saying hardcore don't) and a piece they want hardly ever drops), then that player is forever 1 week behind every player in the game that did get a piece that week. They can never catch back up. A hardcore player, on the other hand, would run the dungeons constantly until they got the piece they wanted.
Therefore, the loot lock-out affects casual players more than it does hardcore players.

Yoshida: As an example, imagine you defeat one of the bosses and one item appears in the treasure pool for your eight man party. You perform the "need," "greed," or "pass," as you normally do. If someone obtains a drop, regardless of the selected command, they will not be able to choose "need" or "greed" later on. This condition clears at a specific time. You will be able to obtain an item up to once per week, but you can challenge the area as many times as you want.

Still leave one question. First off you are "Locked" from "Selecting" the button(s). If all people pass except for the person who has an Item from CT already, will he get that item by default? Or will it disappear? That is what I like to know.
