Gold - Why are we picking it up?

Just curious - Why is picking up gold a thing? - It does not go into inventory and seems like you can carry it without limit ... Due to the speed of play a lot of gold gets left behind. - Just put it into our inventory - Don't make us re-run maps just to pick up dropped gold. - This feels like punishment - Which is not a great game mechanic. - Reward, don't punish.

I agree this is kind of annoying. At least increase the pickup distance.

agree

what if exp from mobs would be dropped on ground and you had to pick up to get it :D that would suck
