Shots firedits ok for you and other "elitist" to criticize new players or "casual" players for complaining about something in game, as though you have to be some certain lvl of gamer to even think about criticizing a game. How about more elitist listen to the casuals and maybe try to be mentors instead of YOU all trying to force YOUR ideas on how this game and game genre should be played.
We ain't forcing anything on anyone - we just saying things are working as intended - and it works fine the way it is and we would like it to not change.
Now Chihaya, I believe you when you say that. But thats not always the case. And even so, thats no different than most of the changes that were made to this game because people complained while others might have said that things are ok as they are. And just because things work fine doesnt mean they cant be improved. Improvements are made everyday on lots of different things in our world. If we just said "hey, it works, why change it?" there would be alot of things we wouldn't have today. And just to put it in perspective, we were all like the OP months ago asking for changes months ago whether they were necessary or just QoL changes. Thats how this community helps to improve the game.
Working as intended /thread
You cannot give one single reason why making this change would hurt anyone, so your argument is irrelevent.
This thread has become nothing but fighting between elitists and the "casuals" they hate so much.
You are on the same server/data center - you should have probably seen some of the leecher that purposely get locked out or afk most of the fight. They are rare but they do exist.
By making the loot pool auto pass is giving them a free pass to AFK full time after the first loots dropped - they now don't even have to pass the item and it makes it harder to kick these trolls.
With the current rule now, at least they are forced the pass the item - and the longer they wait, the more risk they screw up their weekly loot so many would pass soon and easier to kick them.
But seriously 5 minute is more than enough, it is a small price to pay for not paying attention to loot, which is probably why you are even raiding WoD - the thing about 7/8 people leaving the dungeon and loot dropping to you is already fixed, won't happen anymore.

I have run into this issue, but I think that the 5 minutes to wait for loot to drop is the problem, not the auto-dropping loot. With the 5 minute wait time, you are often through the next trash pack and attacking the next boss before the 5 minutes are up so you don't get the chance to kick the leecher from the group. I wouldn't mind seeing the timer reduced on chests reduced to give groups a chance to kick people like that. Then again, a reduced timer is all the more reason to have loot that has not been rolled on auto-pass in these lockout areas.
