Why did SE get rid of the random chests as drops from open world mobs ?

[Bufkus]

I am curious as to why SE decided to drop the whole random loot off mobs in the open world, especially as FFXI has a random drop from mobs AND 2 types of chests that can also drop, hell the whole loot the chest mechanic and UI is already in the game as is the chest assets... so why ditch the whole loot from mobs ?

I am not saying bring back the whole work out the combination key to unlock mini game, or even locked chests but having random chests drop off mobs while you are fighting in the the open world would spice up the open world a bit as you level... you could possibly pick up new gear, or stuff to sell on the market, or potions or food.

Does anyone really hate the idea of looting in the open world, checking the corpses or open the chests the mobs drop in MMO's ?

Uhh they're probably waiting to add it in the future.
