Let party leader select which one they want to set from a list, all party members can see what mode is currently selected. System fixed.
This is honestly the best compromise, perhaps add the XI 'Master pool' system where all see drops real time and pass/lot at will until drops just fall off to party members. Something nice to complement this would be a loot pool widget for with mouse support for one hit lotting/passing. Parties and loot are just too diverse for this current system, farming with friends is a perfect example. And finally, no it doesn't need to be addressed NOW but it most certainly must be addressed before new content that awards rare/exclusive drops from NMs is released.
