Why does everyone skip the 1st chest, that's in the "Spirit Bloom" room? I've never opened it because it's always announced not to. Out of respect for the team I follow the wishes of my teammates, but no one can really give a good reason not to... Mostly it's about a better chance at receiving a better drop from a chest further in. I've also heard that it is all a rumor and that we are skipping it for no reason and missing out on loot.
Please enlighten me about the pros & cons about looting the chest or not... I'm really tempted to open it the next time I run the raid just to test it myself, not without letting my team know ahead of time.

It's just superstition. When things are up to luck it makes people crazy. Traditions are also strong in the raid. The loot chests are an example of this. We once thought that they would dissappear quickly like the material chests in patrols, but now that we know they won't dissappear for 4 minutes we still wait for everyone to open at once.
