    Another problem that I foresee is that you'll be shedding a person at each boss if you want to save travel time. Even more suspicious and even more likely to have the other two parties get angry at those people, possibly even kick them with that nifty new Kick feature.

    Never went back but do the boss rooms get locked still after winning them? If so would only leave 2 people. 1 at Zombie dragon & 1 at king behemoth or the headless dude. Basically King behemoth dude would get those 2 chests if that pathway is locked.

    Openly discussing trying to exploit CT on the official forums probably isn't a wise idea. -.-

    With that said, a more non-exploitive benefit to waiting until the very end to open all chests would be that you can see all possible gear and make a more informed decision on what you need/greed on

    Not really if its in closed doors and kepted away from public then it can be abused long term. If its made public and its known it actually works then players will not do it because SE is watching now. Now that its made public it be stupid to do it.

    Edit: Kinda like with Turn5 glitche once public knew it was out people were not gonna do it.

    Yeah, I'm not game to use/try exploits. I probably fall more into the "filthy casual" group and just don't care enough. Plus, I've been through XI and have seen how SE comes down on abusers. lol. I was just trying think of something that wouldn't necessarily be seen as an exploit by waiting to open all chests at the same time.

    Heh, this is a good idea. Curious to see how this plays out. As for locked boss rooms, couldn't you just use return to teleport to the beginning of the Dungeon?

    Small scale experiment would be to just try this on either boss 3+4, or on any two bosses that are back to back - that way, you don't lose anyone for hte long-term. (I.E., after downing boss 1, ignore chest, beat boss 2, then split up and do the Boss 1+2)

    You fall in a hole for the final boss so there's no going back for anybody in there once its downed. You would have to deliberately leave ppl behind, but i would assume that either the boxes dissapear once one is opened, or you wold have to drop one person from the party at each box. If that's the case you would be down 6 ppl on behemoth which is pretty tough.

    The logistics are incredibly difficult, but maybe it would be possible, if the execution was flawless.

    I would assume the moment loot drops to you, any other lots are invalidated, so you'd have to somehow orchestrate it so your entire party staggers their lots between the items, while keeping them still present in the loot list, then have a single person left on each item and they all simultaneously make the final lot at the same time.

    Sounds like a lot of work.

    You would have to have everyone leave so the automatic "pass" is done at the same time for all items from that person, clicking "pass" would be too slow per item. I also think it might check if you've casted a lot already, thus if you do 1 "Greed" and try greed another, it might not let you, but who knows if they thought this through, so you might need to let all items auto fall onto someone by the entire pt leaving before that 1 who wants all items.

    This could be interesting if someone could try it, I think however the chests despawn when the next instance starts. - Chests depop if opened and loot goes, might have a timer for non opened.

    This is really easy to test though
    - Form premade PT
    - Dont open chests
    - At end, open all chests
    - 7 people leave -no one cast a lot, delay will mess it up-

    See if that 1 guy gets everything or if server registers it on a per item basis, which i honestly think it would, after first item drops to you the others would auto fail because its already registered.
