Plunder's Instinct please revert the opened chest aura

I would love to see the opened chest auras return.

Believe it or not, having the chest auras visible is very, VERY useful to a Plunderer. Two main reasons

  1. If you are a Plunderer you want to open ALL chests on the map. If someone opens a chest then you have no idea if they did until you stumble upon the chest. This means you can open two chests then waste time looking for the last one, instead of seeing its aura while it's open and knowing that it's been searched, so you can move on to other things.
  2. The chest auras serve as landmarks on some maps. Especially useful on maps like The Game where it's easy to lose your bearings. The chest auras are a great way to orient yourself on the map. They re like a compass. Also they let you find the basement, so in a chase you can avoid the basement when you see the chest aura. If someone else opened the basement chest before you (common occurence) you miss out on this life-saving piece of information.

Please reconsider your changes to Plunderer's and let opened chests be visible to the perk.

Thank you.
