Subject: No world chests in outlands?
  
I wonder if its a reflection on how Blizzard is constantly nerfing anything fun. Has anyone else noticed that there appear to be no world chests in outlands?

By world chests i mean treasure chests that appear outside of instances. Used to be really fun to find them, now... nothing. I haven't seen any. Are they out there, and I'm just missing them?

Rare-spawn mobs have effectively taken the place of outdoor chests.

Q u o t e:

Most rares are in fact not elite.

Exactly. I've soloed them and gotten blue drops.

Q u o t e:
Really, to say rare spawns have replaced chests requires a grand stretch of the imagination.

I might disagree. A mob could be equated to a chest of loot that simply walks around and hits back. Seems a little more interesting than an inanimate box full of stuff sitting in the middle of a canyon or what have you.

When I say they effectively replace chests, it is to mean that the devs decided against populating Outland with chests for a few reasons and rare spawns were seen as simply more fun and rewarding. It is considered a better mechanic comparitively. "Kill mob, get reward" as opposed to "Get reward".

Q u o t e:

THIS LOGIC IS FLAWED

all old-world chests were already guarded by mobs, often a bunch of mobs that aggrod together

If you're using teleport hacks, this is not a concern. If you out-level the mobs by enough, this is not a concern.
