Basically what the Title says. Chests spawn in Tyrian & Canthan Missions so why not in Elonian Mission? I would like to get either nice items, or increase / decrease luck with lockpicks while doing missions too. Why was Elona discrimintated for this?

No. Chests are not in NF missions because of the time-sensitive nature of a fair number of bonuses. Anet learned their lesson with Factions (where all bonuses are based on time): pugs stopping without a care to the rest of the team who wants the bonus more than they want to open a chest.

What they should do is removing chests and skill capturing in missions (disabling the signets inside them).

Mission have separate rules, no shrines, wipe out, etc...

Then put Bosses with those elite elsewhere and people can focus in mission instead on chests and skill captures...

well most missions in nf involve a lot of map exploration (Venta Cementary to name one ). So I can't see why they shouldn't put chests in there.

Aggro.

In Venta cementery a dumb chest farmer can compromise the entire party running to a chest.

Apart from disabling the cap sigs, that is how the NF missions work. I think every factions elite skill is also cappable outside of a mission.

Several missions would be too easy to abuse (the same reason why there are no Luxon chests in Gayla Hatchery).
