Crystal Tower - Automatic Loot

[Riepah]

Happened to me too. I was unsure whether or not I wanted the item that dropped, but everyone else quickly left and the item was forced on me before I made my decision.

Under no circumstances should loot be forced on us if we didn't roll need or greed on it. There is absolutely no reason for the need/greed/pass options to disappear when you're the last remaining person. If the timer expires, it should auto-pass - and that's the only automatic function there should be.

I play on ps3 and by the time I finished loading everyone was gone. I would of been stuck with something I didn't want before I even got past the loading screen if I didn't get mnk gloves earlier in the run. so yea this needs to be adressed. I don't run it more than twice a week anyway because of the derp fest that is ct.

I did get a very professionally written and quick response from SE for my ticket. They said they were sorry for the issue and understand my frustration, although they also could not reset my loot for the week. I am hoping they make a fix by next week.

One of my friends is tempted to leave the dungeon after the third boss so that he isn't saddled with a random loot at the 4th boss (and the loot he wants drops from 3rd boss). The loot I am aiming for drops from the 4th boss (monk body) and I am worried I might get a random drop again because I am on PS3.

Going to take another friend's advice and make sure to queue with friends/full party to make sure at least one person will stay in the instance with me until I roll. The first time was actually with my FC, but no one expected it to auto-loot... Definitely making sure my party members know next week. Kind of funny, but safety in numbers is my quick-fix for this until SE does something

I just had this happen to me. My computer locked up during the final boss of CT, and when I logged back in after, I had received loot (and it's something I never would have rolled on.)

Really frustrated and angry, and the responses here makes it seem like SE won't do anything about it. This really needs some sort of adjustment.

Add an NPC that you can trade accidental loot to to gain another chance at loot, simple solution.

ALSO maybe change the rules a little, possibly add a 1 need/greed per week, but gear that is dropped, not lotted on wont count towards that, so you could technically get lots of gear that way.

Coding up a whole system to first be able to recognize when loot is accidental or not and then create a npc that accepts it is not simple at all, especially compared to adjusting the loot system to not force auto-loot on the last remaining player. Your second idea is so exploitable it's not even funny.

Wow, I'm not the only one with this issue. Last night after last boss when I tried to pass on the loot because I didnt need it (MNK loot) I got the item. I saw that all the ppl exit the instance but as I am playing on a PS3 I have this 5 seconds lag...
Now I have to wait a week to loot again for something I really need, If this not happen to me again... Please SE fix this problem ASAP.

Last night i watched this very same thing happen to my husband. While his ps3 was still trying to let him get out of the cs so he could look at the loot, the rest of the party left, and he got stuck with the drg body. I was one of the people to jump out (i didn't realize how poorly implemented the lockout was) and the rest of the party was randoms, definitely something open to griefing. Has anyone got a response to this issue?

Adding my voice to the din. This ended up screwing me too.

I was last person out of the instance and got saddled with something I didn't want as my very first piece of CT loot. Fortunately I can use it with an off class, but I hate that it was forced on me because I wanted gear for my main class. I feel even worse for the people that end up with something they will never use.

Not rolling should count as a pass until I hit the button for Need or Greed, period.

All they really need to do right now is give the game masters the ability to fix it after the fact while they figure out how to fix it permanently.
