Wouldn't it be funny if so many people started to do chest runs due to double gold rate dorp that Anet decides to "mistakenly" ban them, like it did with 4,000 people a few weeks back, well I guess not, worth a thought.
does "cantha" still include deep/urgoz since they are in that area?
I highly doubt it, but it has been specifically stated that the elite mission weekend did not boost chests in any way. You could be right in your guess, but I wouldn't stock up on those 1.5k keys just yet.
If "all chests in Cantha" means "all chests in continental Cantha," we're going to have us a huge Imperial Sanctum. Even though chest running Raisu Palace is much harder than doing the same at Nahpui Quarter, the increased payout will attract a lot more chest farmers, and the farther location (and harder run) will no doubt keep some of the ill-equipped (less experienced) people out of flooding the place. Not that I have anything against the people who can't do the run - we all have to start somewhere, and my E/Mo isn't the best character to bring there - but as Raisu is a much harder run more inexperienced runners could mean more failed runs for the rest of us.
God, I can see it now:
