So everyone is opening 100 caches' at a time and your just sitting there with 4 an hour, what gives? Split farming.
What is split farming?
Split farming is when a group of players gets together to complete the bounties in an act, but instead of staying together, you will split up and each complete your own bounty. Allowing you to complete all 5 much faster. With this method you can often complete an entire act in under 5 minutes, giving you 20 caches an hour.
I've never been one to cheese easy mode like that. I know lots of people do and that makes them happy, whatever. I'd rather progress at my own pace and challenge myself with hard content.
Between this and the "free" cache exploit, people are going to get everything they want in a matter of weeks and they'll get bored, some may even be sorry they cheesed the exploits like they did.
Something to think about before investing too much time exploiting.

I wouldn't say its an exploit but its not exactly how bounties were supposed to be ran either.
My biggest problem with this is like you said, people will probably get bored way to fast doing things like this and I can even see some of these people have having the nerve to say something among the lines like "Blizzard still hasn't created enough content" or "They really made this game progression too quick"
But really in the end, it was just themselves making the game quick and boring.
Regardless, if you do this method I would say do it until your heart is content because it might possibly not be around and possibly fixed.
Have fun though, myself ill keep doing T2 till im ready for T3 and etc.

I don't mean to use the word "exploit" as derogatory toward those doing it. It is what it is, however.
Exploit; Make full uses of and benefit from a (resource). Using *something to ones advantage.
Both the free cache thing and this split farming, exploits. They will be gone as soon as Tuesday (if not hotfixed before hand), so if you're into the short-cheese, get your exploit on while the gettin' is good.
I would implore all players whom wish to get a long life out of D3 to cease and desist these practices. Just as it was when I was young and played console games, my friends who broke out the cheat codes on day 1 got bored and quit in a week or two while I continued to have fun for 10x longer than they did.

I know what you meant and your very last statement I 100% agree.
This is why I don't just farm normal for those things, I want to progress, make the game live..feel the progression not instantly get it I guess u could say.
What exactly is "free cache"? Just afk through multiplayer lol? As long as you show up before the last bounty in an act is completed, anyone can claim the bounty cache even though they weren't there most of the game. So.....people are exploiting this and having friends join their games, grab a cache and leave.
People in my clan are opening 50 caches at a time, almost none of which they actually played to earn, while I may only open 5 or 6 in the same amount of time.
i just wonder whether, when i'm in another map, legendaries can drop the same, or for the drop is needed my presence in that map (100m limitation as for exp-mf bonus or not)...

Also here is the list of legendaries from the caches:http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-iii-general-forums/diablo-iii-general-discussion/82430-ros-faq-reaper-of-souls-frequently-asked#cachelegs
So yea, no big secret, but would hate for someone to not know this was available to them.
