And with the FFXIV system it is impossible to stop that from happening. In FFXI I gave people 3mins to pass or I kicked them from party. Once I was sure the person getting it was going to get it I passed and the item droped.

Then use Round Robin (your system exactly) or Master loot. There's really no sense in changing the system when what you want to do is perfectly possible. Like I said, unless they add Rare/Ex items, the current system is much more fair and less exploitable.

And barring that, if you're keeping track of who should loot next, then you can just as well keep track of "errors" in the system and just trade to the "correct" people.
