I would like to apologize if this is the wrong forum not 100% sure where this observation should be posted.

In the Darkhold dungeon there is a chest that spawns fairly close to the start. If you enter, the 5 min re-enter timer starts and all you need to do is have a gladiator with high hp and sentinel up flee with the archer ability to the chest and open it. It takes around 40secs to get to it like that.

The gladiator dies and the armor piece (if it drops) is obtained by the rest of the group, The group then can simply leave and reenter after a short 3min wait and do it again.

My question is this considered an exploit since it can be repeated 12 times an hour greatly increasing the chance of gear drops from chest?

Found this by accident tonight, but was able to do it again without any difficulty when someone brought up that it could be used to get fast gear.
