I thought split-farming had been fixed, so you had to be on the same screen of the suiject of the bounty when its completed, to get credit?
I'm hearing friends say they are watching streamers do split farming and getting credit for the bounty. Also they are doing it on Normal and getting a cache every five or so minutes. Not to be a jack bag, but I was sorta hoping that the loot in the cache was a little proportionate to the difficulty level....
I already pointed this out way back in the Beta, but I don't think anyone really sees a problem in splitting up (and working together) to obtain the Horadric Cache. As others have already pointed out, the drops are determined as soon as you obtain the cache, not when you open it.
In addition, splitting up drastically reduces the amount of EXP you obtain per Bounty. You miss out on many Rift Key Fragments as well as some Blood Shards. There are trade-offs, which is good.
Sorry I should have been a little more clear - I was under the impression or had hoped that the harder of the difficulty you did the bounties in, the "better" the cache would be as far as quantity/quality. I think split farming is okay I guess - but what I don't care for is speed farming on normal as the best way to progress. I just liked that we had a purpose to playing with bounties and now its back to "gimmicks" in order to progress.

Well it is. Since the guys above did say the cache is determined right then and there, if you're farming anything lower than T1, you are missing out on certain gear that only does drop in T1 and above. Or has a chance to drop i should say..

I don't know how that works if you have cache but open in T1
The cache is decided when it drops, not when you open it.
