When rolling Need on an item

[nuyu11]

Why don't you ask SE to remove button need?
Just make it automatically go straight to your inventory.

You still can hit need if your current gear is higher level than loot item.
I like the current systems... if your current gear is high already, you can pass it to your friends who still in progress with their gear.
SE made the timer because it have their own reason, OP idea is working if 1 character 1 class, but this game is 1 character all class.

Just make it automatically go straight to your inventory.

Because the OP doesn't WANT all eligable items to drop immediately to inventory. The OP wants the ability to pass items they don't want so other players can Greed them.

What the OP DOES want is not to have to wait after choosing to claim an item. There's no point to it - the other players can Greed and Pass all they want, and it doesn't matter. Once you Need, you win unless someone else can Need.

It's not an unreasonable request: Once everyone in the party who is capable of Needing an item have lotted Need, have the item drop immediately. It's not as though it matters at all what anyone else lots at that point, if a Needer has lotted Need.

Say a caster piece drops. Party consists of SMN, two BLM, and five others.

Scenario 1: SMN lots Need, BLMs both Pass or Greed. Item should drop immediately, as none of the other five lots can change the outcome. Item goes to the SMN.

Scenario 2: SMN and both BLMs lot Need. Item should drop immediately, as none of the other five lots can change the outcome. Item goes to the highest Need lot.

Scenario 3: SMN and both BLMs either Pass or Greed. Item countdown continues until the other five either Greed or Pass, or the countdown expires. Item goes to the highest Greed lot, or falls to the floor if everyone Passed.

This is what the OP wants.

This is a horrible idea for people who play with friends and are considerate.
If I'm doing something like shiva and the pld sword drops and I roll need for my retainer, then someone asks for it, I'd then be able to leave and give it to them.

With this idea it throws that out the window so impatient people can get their drop quicker.
The current system is nice, however sometimes people will not lot hoping you will leave, its fine though since its yours if you stay.
