In HoH they're "fixing" it by putting desirable things for high level players in the silver coffers, so that they won't just skip them.

But in POTD It's luck of the draw. Some people don't care, while others are just complete jerks about it. One way is to only get them if they're on the way (and not out of the way) so that they don't notice too much that the chests were picked up, but that means having to do more runs to hopefully have one that fits this criteria.

One other "fix" (ish) is the new token system they're implementing for both POTD and HoH. While it won't help people leveling their weapons for the first time, what it will help are people who want to get multiple weapons and not have to lose 30 or 60 weapons levels all at once, instead doing them in exchanges of 10.
