    Having an issue on PS4 for Need/Greed/Pass-an idea

    Idea first: Would be nice if we could change which roll we did (if not everyone has rolled) - obviously without changing what we rolled to prevent abuse.

    Reasons/Issues:
    1) Sometimes (not always) when I go from need and press right to hit greed, it SKIPS greed and goes straight to pass. If I'm not careful, I'll hit x (since generally I'm trying to keep up with the party) and it'll pass for me when I wanted to greed.

    2) Sometimes I'll need on an item (because there is no easy way to check if you already have the item in your retainer and when your inventory is pretty full, it can be hard to find them in a timely manner, but if you pick greed, you can't change to need) and a party member will say that they need it and I might want to give it to them (for example, I'm BLM and they are WHM, the item has good stats for both classes, but the WHM needs it more than I do).

    The healer of love and justice! (Or the mad/insane/evil/berserk healer depending on who you talk to).
    I've played healers for so long that I can heal in my sleep literally (People have seen me do it).
    I like to do a bit of everything, but my preference is healing+support (until /that/ happens). FF14 title: Macro Queen

    I agree with the first point - it's very easy to Pass by accident and it's even worse when multiply items are in the active loot window. I'd suggest two improvements to the loot window:

    1. (Mainly for the controller users) After selecting the item have the option to:
    - Press X to Need
    - Press Triangle to Greed
    - Press O to Pass
    - Press Square to "Keep" (see point 2. bellow)

    2. Add the "Keep" option which will be evaluated ONLY if noone else selected the Need or Greed on the same item - this way you can "politely" opt for the items which would otherwise end up in "Unable to obtain" status and become lost.
