Abyssea Pyxides limit

[RAIST]

It is an inherent flaw in the system that REALLY does need some tweaking though. Not sure if/how they could tweak it...even if it were somehow tied to PS2 support initially, there is likely an issue within the game engine itself because of the legacy code. At this point, it seems the only way to remedy it is with the players. While this angle looks like the best way to go, there could be some issues.

The problem with eliminating blue pixides, is they are also required for at least one quest--have to open a blue box manually to get a KI for the quest.

Adjusting the cost of keys might help a little, but it will only have a minimal impact--some players will simply ignore the red boxes at the same rate they do now (which is likely a larger part of the problem, the "no ruby"/"no ebon" crowds just let a lot of boxes rot).

Reducing the timer on the boxes could present a problem for some. I have been doing a lot of soloing lately (farmed my own feet last month, and skiling up weapons solo atm). Sometimes when you have additional mobs on you, you just barely make it into a chest in time before it depops with the current timer. A better option may be to change up the menus:

--after we peer into the contents, let us use a key on it while in the menu, that way we don't have to re-target it to open it. Yes, I know you can just pop a macro with the select target flag, but it is still a delay just the same. If we can just hit the down arrow to select "Open with a Forbidden Key" or "Attempt to Open", it will significantly streamline the process.

--give us an option to force the chest to depop. Word it however you like--Discard, Ignore and Discard--just something we can choose to make the chest immediately despawn (after a confirmation of course, so we don't accidentally toss a chest with someone's AF in it). This way the players can police the clutter a little more--those who don't want to open those 7 red chests from a round of cleaving can just depop them instead of waiting on the timeout.

<Yes, please>

That would be nice.

/offtopic: I always thought it was funny/odd that you could perform actions on the chests.
