I was prepared to counter this with examples from other MMOs as to why this would be a bad idea (it practically reeks of potential ninja-lot abuse), but after consideration of the hidden lotting system in this game it might not actually be so bad. Since you can't see the results of the lot until the item is actually won (or falls to the floor), why shouldn't you be able to shuffle freely from Need to Greed to Pass and back again all that you want? You could flip your lot eighteen times before the drop occurs, and the only thing the other party members will see is what you had up when the item drops - and if you flip eighteen times, it's not because you changed your mind after seeing what other people have lotted, because you're just as in the dark as they are.

There's no way to predict or prevent what a party member is going to lot, so there's no harm in allowing a party member to switch up what they choose to do. If they're going to break lotting rules decided by the party in advance, there's really no way to stop them. Allowing lot shuffling, though, WOULD allow someone to correct a lot or pass they made by mistake.
