Instanced gear wouldn't work and is not needed for this game.
Biggest reason why it wont work is that quantity/rarity is only counted from the killing shot so would be impossible to instance gear as other players could leech on players that have extra quantity/rarity gear setup.
I absolutely hate Leechers, so if I had to chose between the 2 options it's is quite easy.

I was playing the other night and there was a guy camping every crafting drop and ninjaing them. So, I took it as an opportunity to test how well I could do at getting my drops. He wound up getting more than me, often I would be clicking like mad on the item and could not seem to get it to pick up. I am not sure what was causing this but I have noticed that items fail to be picked up during solo play in a similar way. Other times, I failed to get to the item in time.
I think they are on the right track with the timers, but I think the system needs a bit of tweaking. A bit of extra time on the timer and maybe refine pickup mechanics.

Every loot drop non FFA is easy mode and should be of a lower quality. No risks no right for big loot.

GGG just needs to add PKing to the game, that way if you ninja loot items, the entire group can go hostile and kill you. Then we can tell global chat what a chode you are and suggest they kill you on sight if you join their group.
That would be some REAL cutthroat action. I guarantee that you will stick to grouping ONLY with your little buddies, leave people's loot alone, and most likely ask for a different loot system on the forum.
Bring it own, as long FFA loot gets the best drops that is.

You could always play a different game where loot is handled different 8)

implying that FFA is hard mode or hardcore or cutthroat you only make yourself to look like a complete idiot sorry m8
there is nothing hard or hardcore or cutthroat in the FFA system

True, but I would rather the developers change the loot mechanics to something that doesn't suck. It sucked in Diablo and guess what? It sucks in Path of Exile.
and second to that soon pickit bots will come...and guess what i will GLADLY pay the pickit drop than anything GGG will put in the game...sorry but for most of us when they pay money they want some efficiency also...
i wanna see all this ffa defender's faces when pickit bots will come....

what I really really want is to be able to see only my loot for the duration of the timers. After their respective timers expire, I should be able to see the other loot as well.
When killing a big guy in a party of 3+ and when you suddenly see 15 timers on the screen, do you really have the time to discern among them and identify ALL of your loot in a fashionable time? Especially when all 3+ players are near the place where the loot drops. Especially also when there are a few yellows that catch your eyes first, even if they are not meant to you.
If I see only mines during the timers I think I'll have the appropriate time to determine which ones I want to keep to myself and which ones I leave for the party.

Tsk tsk admitting you are going to exploit in the game. I wanna see your face when you try to login and are no longer able.....
