Item drop spacing in Single Player

Granted, somewhat of a minor issue and I doubt it will even be noted amidst the chaos of people forgetting you should not play any Blizzard game online on or the day after launch day.

But is there a reason why item drop spacing has been removed from Gameplay options and is only included when creating an online game? I really don 't like half my screen being filled with spaced out loot when opening a golden chest, and god forbid I haven’t killed the Countess yet.

I remember seeing articles and video about the Alpha where this was toggable in the Gameplay options so that it could be turned to Legacy for Single Player as well, but now I can’t find it anymore. Or am I missing something?
