Guild Wars 2

Been hearing a lot about MF and either getting rid of it or revamping it or whatever. So I decided to put in my two cents…. (I don’t care either way, MF is broken for me anyhow, im the unluckiest person alive)

Get rid of MF as a stat on gear

Keep MF Boon foods, boosts and what not

Make non-dungeon Champs and World Bosses (Dynamic events or what not) give you X% MF for X amount of time after killing them. Stacking up to X% and up to 2 hours. After killing the Mob, you can not gain anymore MF off that mob for one hour. (So people dont just sit and kill the same thing over and over)

This would not only allow people to keep their MF with out choosing it over another stat but also encourage higher levels to venture into lower level areas.

To keep higher levels from achieving this too easily… make it so that the bigger the level gap between the player and the mob means less % MF boon applied. (I know were all “scaled” but you can’t deny that you can go back and solo stuff you couldn’t when you were actually leveling in that area.)

Level req, Can not gain MF til level 30

Just like events, if you do not do your part then you will receive less MF %.

The MF Champ Boon will last through death at the cost of 20% time reduction of the remaining time on the Boon.

The MF Boon can be taken into Dungeons with you, while in dungeons the death penalty does not apply, yet.. you can not gain the Boon from Dungeon mobs.

The MF Boon will stay on you for up to 1 hour after logging out (so that people that get D/C a lot don’t get punished for having a crap ISP)

I would suggest that the Boon stays as is while logged out but I feel with a logged out time limit it would help to keep people from farming the dragons.

I’ve seen that system in D3 already… its stupid as hell imo. If you want more and rarer loot – you have to sacrifice something instead (3rd stat on equip). You cannot have it all.

What you said that only makes sense in single player.

In MMO, it’s stupid as hell to lower your performance, contributing less while getting better gear, while other players are using proper gear.

Just make MF a permanent boost from each dungeon mode you beat, each map you complete, each important PvP achievement.

That is where you are wrong. It IS stupid in single player because there is no one to help you with lowered stats. But thats not the case in MMO (especially not in GW2) where you only have to tag as much mobs as you can during events to get lots of loot and other players (mostly with MF gear too) will help with killing.

It will take longer to kill things in dungeon environment, but then again – if you are there for tokens, not for loot. And if you are for loot (cores, lodestones etc…) it is usually discussed between guild members and everyone wears MF set.
