Recent events had the event items Auto pickup, but this event they are not doing that, and it can cause you to miss boxes. (I am currently at 41/50 for the day, but only have 39 in my inventory. I have not opened any yet.) I feel like this is either a bug/oversight, or if intended, could be communicated better.
#Boxes from 3rd Anniversary Do NOT Auto pickup

It takes some time for it to auto collect, maybe you had some on the floor and switched map
it def behaves like any other monster drop - otherwise .. like the whole playerbase wouldnt get boxes 
Definitely not. Was sitting at Genies for the entire time, but noticed my numbers not matching up so set a timer for myself to manually pickup every 45 min or so. However, today it seems to be auto looting them fine, so may have been some kind of desync issue. Saw a handful of people reporting the same thing in the bugs chat yesterday, but haven't seen it at all today.
I turned off Auto-Loot and the box is not picked up.
i lose 50 boxes...
can open 50 a day then disappear after event period would be better than drop 50 a day
i've lost 97 boxes
Since Lava won't likely to change anything soon (busy), might as well start learning to pick them up manually. It's free stuff. It's rewarding.
they do auto pick up, just a you issue
They don't auto pickup for accounts that don't purchase Auto Loot, the issue is that some previous events would auto loot for those players
