You know Idw, you just reminded me of something, I answered my own question - I completely forgot that on open I have those +7 skill charms with 727% extra GF. I put like 20 of them on one of my characters during that weekend that East was down and he was finding 50,000 gold on average from Act 3 Hell (yes, I was playing the actual game, quests and all), and by the time he got to cows I remember the drops were like insane.
Duh, totally forgot about that. Given that the game's actual mechanics are not going to vary from open to closed, I guess Ruvanal is right as usual. (I swear, I'd like to take him aside someday and ask how the patch is going, he knows too much - J/K Ruvanal, I love ya!)
Re: low drops... Actually, it happens more with chests on the low drops, I was being too general there. Every so often though I will notice it from monsters. Wirt's leg, Meph chests, etc, always low drops - to be expected.
Anyhow for now.
