I have to confess something. I have a fondness for intrigues. VVhenever I see something scandalous, I can't help but smile knowing how people would react to it.
Guys, I was wrong. The devs re-enabled the chest loot by giving it a small tweak. Check it for yourselves:

Honestly, idc if I get banned on the forums for posting this and stirring drama. ****'s too funny to ignore. Though, I will apologise if the devs put the old loot in the chest and just disable it till ToC.
