This came up a while back when a group I was in were grinding Phaseman for his gear. (Sidenote: I wish there were a better way to handle boss drops, since if you're in the Hall of Memories all it is is easily grinding them for quick and easy loot, but I'm sure the HoM will be retooled before the game is finished. )
Anyhow, I was playing a mage and the other two were bruisers.
Problem: The bruisers always got the drops because they were right next to Phaseman when he died. They had to intentionally move away before letting me get the final blow so I could get my boots. Same problem when dealing with loot in general, I got a pumpkin mask that couldn't help me while an ally grabbed a +30 MagAtk accessory.
Solution: 'Confirm Loot' multiplayer option? If you move on top of a piece of equipment on the ground, it shows you the stats on the right side of the screen, same as if you had actually picked it up. Press Shift to pick it up, otherwise it stays on the ground.
You'd probably have to make an exception for the Carrot Sword, though, since some people might not pick it up thinking their allies need it more.
