While I understand the desire to have a feature extended, it is also a resource drain which is why the timer is there to start with. Zenimax extended the timer from a few seconds to the current design to permit people to complete quests which is a much more impactful purpose and benefit to the game..

So I suggest forming your group for, friends and guild with the idea of farming the chests since the suggestion brings much less benefit to the game than completing a quest making it less likely to happen.

Good luck.

Why do you assume all this?

I'm not buying it at all.

We can already extend dungeon instances indefinitely and many times in newer dungeons runs can take hours to clear. As an example, the first time I cleared veteran Unhallowed Grave for example we had some real world issues in the group that needed dealt with and we spent over an hour having a break, inside the dungeon, while coming back to keyboards to move characters around every now and then so we wouldn't be kicked out from the progress we'd made up until that point. Things like these happen all the time, especially where prog runs of challengers or blind runs of new content are concerned.

Having an option to extend a dungeon instance for going back for chests when everyone has left the group, where that instance already exists and has existed for the duration of the entire run, could barely cause such a dent in resource pools that it would make any difference one way or another. And it would be very helpful in those cases where people are looking for some gear but don't feel like slowing their group down or falling behind in the run.
