Stolen Stronghold Treasure Appearance

I'm a pack-rat, so this isn't an issue for me per se...but I know lots of players who cruise right past gold coin treasures that scatter after an enemy is defeated, because why waste time picking up a few coppers, right?

Why, then, do "Stolen" Stronghold vouchers look almost EXACTLY like piles of coins? I can't imagine how many useful resources for the Mimic have been abandoned on the battlefield because they shot off to one side and were ignored...

    It was an undocumented change IIRC in mod 11.5. The was a thread or a mention and someone from Cryptic even commented on it but nothing was done.

    Yeah, I feedbacked that I didn't like it ("it" being vouchers using the currency icon) and Julia isn't a fan either. I don't think that thread got any other replies than hers, actually. The core of my complaint is that I do run over gold (on my own time) and expect everything with the currency ground icon to auto-loot, then get mildly annoyed when it doesn't. For the record, I have still not completely adjusted to this change.

    I don't think seals ever drop on the ground anymore, but they used to use a currency icon as well (with appropriate colour glow). I think you did have to pick them up, and hunt under a boss corpse for them to boot.

    Seals of the Dark Fey still drop on the ground. Two items each time, on top of each other and frequently on top of any boss drops.

    You're right, I forgot about those. Obsolete-but-not seals....
