What is the point of having a chest route?

[Blamph]

Chest routes used to be much more of a necessity back around 1.2.5 when there were only 2-3 Vareide maps (and those builders specifically placed the number of chests.) Chest placements were a bit more scarce, and knowing where to go to get the good loot was an absolute must. There were also less items and food spread around these chests, so it made it tougher to keep up with the players who dominated certain routes.

The newer maps these days seem to be filled with too many chests, making the need to carve out a chest route not so necessary anymore. This sort of disappoints me as it got rid of a crucial strategy.
