Haven't used an aviator box since they first came out and I realized how annoying they are. As for mistaking one for a loot chest, I haven't had that pleasure. Auto loot pretty much prevents that from happening. 4 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Is this about the box in general? Or specifically about the possibility of accidentally clicking it (or any other placed item) instead of a chest or NPC or whatever when they're too close together? My answer is different depending on what it is, but the topic doesn't have enough info for me to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I laughed a lot at the original video of the bug. I love that ANet ran with it for April Fools' Day. I think it's cool that they created a box to make it perpetually available. I don't own one. Don't want to. And have never accidentally clicked on one after the first time I got caught with one in Tarir. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto loot pretty much prevents that from happening. Auto-loot doesn't work for exalted chests in Auric Basin, for example, since you have to open them with keys. And when someone puts an aviator box in the same spot as the chest (like the Grand Exalted Chest in particular), it can be near impossible to click the chest itself to open it. Same with vendors and such. Are you really telling me that that never happened to you? I'm impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Templar.4589 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 It's not only the aviator box that can be a problem. The other day someone had placed a black lion merchant right in the middle of the chest at the end of the KC jumping puzzle. No matter what I tried I couldn't click/target the chest so I could open it. I kept clicking other players, people's minis, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farohna.6247 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I don't like the aviator box. I don't like when trolls put it in annoying places where one has to manually open a chest. I have learned to always look before opening for aviator boxes, mesmer portals, bobble head laboratories, and any random food that I don't want replacing my current food buff. It just becomes standard. Still think it's a stupid effect, visually and auditorily. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Though most instances of these interactable items on top of items are people being jerks, some are accidental. The permanent bank does not summon an actual banker, but the merchant does. I forget sometimes. I also once dropped some sort of interactable box on top of a chest when I double-clicked it in my inventory, thinking it was yet another reward box, when it was actually something like the box o fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasnt happened to me (yet?) either but I have been hit by the mesmer portal variation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely haven't set foot into anything that would have a chest they have to press F on to loot. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Uh...there's a chest in the level 5 area of Ashford that you can just walk up to and press F. Not even a jump required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
