Just ran Tong, missed 3 chests because the portal to exit was too close to the chests. Not the first time, and has probably happened to everyone at one time or another.
Some might think this could be more attributable to player error than the design of the game... but I will agree that placing chests in near proximity to other clickable content could be a problem for some, particularly if they are inclined to "press F" on anything that pops up, instead of reading or being aware of what they are clicking on.

Yup. This.
I usually read all the text pop ups for F but only the other day I completed a skirmish and exited without opening the chest. It was Dread Legion so no big loss. But it did get me thinking the same way as the OP
I haven't done this in T9G yet, probably because I learned my lesson in CN a long time ago. It would be nice to have the portal away from the chests or an exit confirmation window popup if all chests haven't been claimed.

If you ever run Dread Ring lairs, the exit portal doesn't spawn until after you take the chest. This was a fix after the launch of that module years ago over this very same issue. But each successive Dev team never seems to be informed of what their predecessors learned.
