Zenimax is going to be putting the chest trolling to an end by making chests be lootable by everyone! Just at a reduced amount of chests, which is good anyways because there is a lot of blue and purple in the guildstores, which make them common and not as rare as they should be. This is great news and does say that Zenimax does listen to feedback and what we say!!
Here is the statement by Zenimax.

Dungeon Chest Changes Chests within instances have undergone two changes:
Shared Chests – Each player in the group who is within 50 meters of the chest when it is unlocked will get an individual roll on the chest.
Reduced Number of Chests – Since each chest yields rewards for all group members, we have reduced the number of chests in instances to two total. Each instance will always have two chests in then, but the location of these two chests will be random within the dungeon. These changes do not affect chests that appear in public spaces, only those within instances.
