Guild Wars 2

Auric basin chests after the octovine are lootable by anyone, even people who did not participate in the event. I think this is a bug because it means you can hop between maps after the meta completes and get 3-4x the intended loot amount. Lots of people are doing this and I feel that it’s upsetting the economy.

not a bug. You need keys and do not get an infinite supply of them for the chests so being able to open more chests requires participation at some point in the past.

Chests give more lumps of aurillium than you spend on keys now.
