    And I didn't say that it's too much effort to change it. I will now though.
    I'm saying that there is no point to designing potentially a hugely complex loot system just because you're unhappy with waiting. The Loot system right now groups roles in together. Not just the loot system but the the gear itself would need to be reworked to specifically show as just PLD or just WAR (even though they mostly share things) according to code and then the new Loot system would need to be coded to understand that. So then a WAR can Need WAR gear (even though it's usually shared) and it goes straight to them. Otherwise, it won't work because SMN and BLM both use the same pieces and so do healers and tanks.

    Your QoL adjustment is asking for gear to be individually recognizable to the Loot system for specific jobs (SMN for SMN, BLM for BLM etc) and for a Loot system capable of doing that with no mistakes.

    And guess what? This can all be managed by asking, "Please lot or pass."

    And all this isn't even taking into consideration the restrictions they've already placed in the current Loot system that's meant to stop abuse.

    And this wouldn't work for the OP as they said that they want the Needed item to be able to fall to them instantly. It's not taking into consideration that their other partner might not Need on it until later, which means still waiting, which is what they don't wanna do.
