First of all how do you know this is the new system? i must of missed that part where it said this was the new system, and also this has everything to do with me as a beastmaster i dont get to experience the #234 chains so this would be something awesome and fun for me to do, so i thought it was anyways.
Not going to say your the reason why SE half asses 75% of there work but you certainly not helping by being ok with all the half ass updates they do. And why wait for reactios? why not just add it to the other zones? in other words they are being lazy about it and they think its gonna fail like chocobo racing and all the other junk that no one bothers with.

I'm just using my brains, that is all. Let's try it now.. SE says that the chests will pop in pre-expansion areas, and that mobs drop them after being killed. Who are the people who kill monsters in those areas? New players do. From gustaberg to la theine and garlaige citadel. In the chests there are temporary items, most likely ethers, potions and other stuff like that. Even if a lvl75 is killing mobs in those lower level areas he's not going to get use out of them. The exlusive drops, aka armors and the like will also be for around the same level as the monsters are. Lvl75 isn't going to use them. Somebody leveling off them will most likely find most use out of the armors. The drops will also most likely be NQ and won't contain exlusive stuff like NM drops (if SE is smart, and I'm sure they're not stupid enough to add ochiudo's kotes to the chests). What is lvl75 going to do with some NQ hand piece with +4 evasion? Nothing, it's just a burden. The high levels don't need as much help as the lower level peeps. Gear also isn't as important at low levels because nothing really gives any super stats.
This is going to be nice for lower level BST's, too bad it's not made for high level players but like I said it doesn't have to be. Not everything has to be.
I'm okay with most of the stuff they do because I do see the big picture. I can see why they did what they did and I don't go to the updates thinking it will suck by looking at 5 sentences SE posted a week before the update. This is as good as any other update until few days after the patch, then I can make my final opinion. And I'm not going to tell you anything either before you toss me some facts back. The argument goes nowhere if you don't back up your claims at all, it'll just run in circles "I think the updates are halfassed" "I think they're not" "they are" "they're not". You see what I mean?
And final comment: They don't know how players react to what they do. Especially to something like this, it's never been done in XI before so Why should they use their precious Development time on something nobody likes. The resources are limited. If no one likes the system it's going to mean all the workhours for making the chests pop in wotg rotz and cop + toau areas have been wasted. Workhours that could have been used to make a system that playerbase likes better.
