I think that it would probably be something they would monetize, since you're essentially getting more chests, which also provides a higher rate(mathematically, anyway) of jeweled chests. If you would like to get chests faster, you can reset pretty quickly at world's wake. For example, if you can get to area 120 without ever slowing down(and having Nate at lvl 150), you have 24 chances of getting a silver chest or better pretty quickly. Then you just reset and start again, and the process would take about an hour to repeat.

Obviously I was almost to 200 when I posted and you took 50 hours to respond. Once I got to 200, 250 was easy, but once I got to 248 it became really difficult again.

Also in the 113 days I have been playing, I have only had five chests upgraded to jeweled chests. 1 in my first week of playing, 2 in the last event, and oddly enough 2 today.

So yes, we need something to boost chest drops. I finally gave up working on the 360 and started objectives with new maps so I could boost my players. So far the players it has seen fit to boost is the Detective...over, and over, and over, and over. He now has great dps, but I prefer the monkey because he gives me a boost in gold which makes it easier to boost the other crusaders. So, chests need a new system to help with the lack of obtaining chests.

Your comments and observations are flawed. We need a new system for chests and for seeing gold acquisition. The section in the end doesn't' actually show you what you get per min, it goes up and down drastically every other second so you can't actually see it.
