I’ve been meaning to post about this as well. In the past, Gold Chests would always have at least 1-2 upgradable items (e.g. gear, minion, etc) but often i’m seeing Gold Chests, especially Seasonal chests having extra ore/food, well beyond what these chests normally have (and to the extent that you do get an item, it is more likely to be a minion more than anything else) …
This is a series of screencaps I took of a Seasonal Diamond Chest, Level 80. Gold, 3 runes/scrolls, Ore, and Food. Not a single Gear, Item, or Spell. This is a huge change from the composition of normal dungeon Diamond chests and to me is a stealth nerf designed to inhibit players’ ability to attain items and meet goals in the Season Pass. This is really unacceptable behavior honestly.

5/25/2022 - I skipped tracking today, not because I don’t want to report the awesome stuff I got but simply because I was on the go. I actually did 2 skirmish chests, just on a lark, one of them a Ruby Chest and I got 3 items. Of course that’s not seasonal items but again, 3 items from a Skirmish chest. in my 7 dungeon chests, I had 3 instances of double food again (I could actually see the amounts because I had just spend food on an upgrade). My Level 80 Ruby Chest with double Food had 358 Food. Everything else was as before; equal spread of runes/scrolls and shards. a couple of commons, uncommons, and 1x rare spell. The food numbers are absurd. Unless there is a future use for Food! Which we have been told there would be nearly a year ago! But I guess it’s ok just to keep saying things are done for “reasons” and we just accept it.
