I havent gotten a single yellow item from a resplendent chest since they nerfed MF to not affect the drops from them. Hell even with no MF as many as I have opened I should have gotten at least one because my farming route includes 3 places that have 100% chest spawns. Can anyone confirm or deny that these chests only drop blue quality items now? Has anyone gotten a yellow or better?
I am in the same shoes as you, no yellows from them since the nerf. But yes, you can feasibly get yellows or even legendaries from them. The items roll as if you had 0 MF so its just a stupidly low chance of getting them.
Step 1) "fix" gear swapping
Step 2) make resplendent chests have less guaranteed spawn points (i.e. change it to say, 50% (or some other number) spawn chance on second level of caves, etc.)
Step 3) lower the base (0% mf) drop chances of things from chests across the board
Step 4) allow chests to be affected my MF again
This way regular chests will have a lower drop rate than white mobs, and resplendents will have a lower drop chance than elites. Resplendent chests will also be more rare than they are now. But, it would also bring back that "pinata" feeling of you actually feeling like you can get rares when you open a resplendent chest.
As a bonus, add back items to breakables, but make the chance to drop items very low and MF only affects whether that item will be magic/rare/legendary, and leave the chance for gold to drop as is, but allow GF to increase the amount of gold dropped.
At least that's how I feel.

ive opened a ton of chests since the change, and only one has given me a yellow. so yes they do suck, am i still gonna open them? yes i am!
I opened two resplendent chests yesterday in my limited playing time. One had a single yellow, the other one had all blues. But, like you, I'm still going to open them. "Worthless" would indicate that people ignore them and that's simply not the case. They may not live up to our expectations, but they're not exactly "worthless" either.
I think they were bugged. Im starting to get rares from them again. Even rares from normal chests. You dont go from not getting a single rare in dozens of runs where I opened 3-4 resplendent chests to getting at least one chest rare per run. I think there was a hotfix somewhere.
I got a legendary from a normal chest the other day... I was shocked.
But yeah... I hear ya.... chests suck now and I hope they revert the change once they deal with the gear swap issue. I have a feeling they will.
So you got a legendary, but chests suck now?
I see.
Well, as everyone likes to say... "RNG is RNG". The fact is that the drop rates from res. chests are garbage. One person finding a legendary once does not change that fact. Mindlessly defending the game doesn't help anything.

Mindlessly ranting about the game doesn't, either.
THey should just make MF only work on chests when you have 5NV. It would stop the game-refreshing-loot-chest-quit-repeat nonsense, but reward people who clear for them.
I no longer shoot / click on any chests or other interactable object. It isn't worth my time anymore, since it takes time which would be better spent hunting down the next elite pack. This was Blizzard's goal with the nerf, as they stated, and I'm a good little sheep. Baa.
Those
god
damn
things
On second thought....never mind....leave it as it is.

They reduced the drops with the MF nerf, but did not compensate for it.
Or a ring of wasps around the player and the chest and make them all shoot those poison baby things towards the center.

Easier solution, just let MF apply to EVERYTHING like it should and allow people to play the game how they want to play it.
Ewwwwwwwwww
Let them!

I take my chest, good sir!

to me they're just like bigger silver chests, only there is always blue item. :/
