Guild Wars 2

I have a full set of mf and i dont get the reward i think i should get, the thing is i’m getting less rare loot then friend who doesn’t have mf at all.

Uhm “Dontin” on youtube said about the game that the thing about mf is strange and doesn’t really seams to work and said “Time spent = things earned” (something like that i dont remember exactly) I thought about the problem of this, botters will get awesome loot which probably will cause them to continue but players who really invest time in the game will just have an orgasmic feeling that the time they spent on their character really pays off.

that’s it, just wanted to say my opinion and maybe suggest to Anet or just make you think about it.
sorry for the unorganized post i’m tired XP

I feel like, the more damage you do, the better and more loot you get. I totally quit using MF gear.
But Drops suck in general. Maybe one exception is the Jade Maw chest.

If you have a Magic Find set and you’re getting less than someone without it, that’s just bad luck or your MF set not having a whole lot to it yet. I can’t say for sure.

Or.. there is something wrong with both magic find and dimnishing returns atm..

i have a whole set of mf man… bad luck? magic find should have physically much more chances than it is now or at least more chance than people without it.
I don’t remember exactly i have more than 110%….

I think Anet just kicked down the better drops across the board to increase gem sales. UnIDed dyes went from 5 silver to 12 silver due to their sudden, suspicious rarity.

what do you mean by “increase gem sales”? “force” people to buy gems with real money? i don’t understand :\

Well, that could be explained as a result of banning an enormous amount of botters. ^^

But yes, something strange happened since the 15th November patch to the drop rates or/ and to DR.

The reason unID dyes increased so much was ANet kicked out botters. You can see the spike on Spidy coincides with mass bans: demand stayed about the same, but the supply dropped enormously.

With regard to MF: a lot of people switch to magic find with unrealistic expectations for two main reasons:

1. MF has a modest impact on the average value of drops. Over time, it’s a good investment, but not over short runs.
2. MF can reduce the number of drops you get, decreasing the value of drops for some players. For example, if you aren’t able to deal as much damage per second, you will tag/kill fewer foes, get fewer drops, and end up with less loot — although your loot has a better average value, the total value can drop.

I would only recommend MF to players that are already tagging/killing stuff rapidly. Most people can earn more by looking for more efficient routes than they could be using MF.

I am a warrior so i dont have a problem with damage XD
and i played long time with the mf set and not sure if it was worth the investment…

stopping the botters is good idea but it affects all the other legitimate players who play for fun and want to be rewarded for hard dungeons\ fractals\ hard dynamic evens or bosses. (especially the long ones)
Any ideas or suggestion that might help?

Well some people just explain to them self. I hope you have the same image then i do..
IF drop rate of corrupted loadstone is like 0.0025 to drop and you have +100% MF
that means you have rise your chance to 0.0050, and that’s still very low!!!!

Some people think if they have 120% magic find they will have like A LOT BETTER CHANCE but they are wrong.. i use magic set only for looting dragon or chests other than that i let it off.. because that small rate of MF doesn’t even work..

I heard that magic find doesn’t affect chest drops, and it’s only affecting drops from monsters and still, this is just a rumor
drops have strange chances…

I’m grateful to the players obsessing over dyes, I’ve made plenty of silver in the game by selling the dyes i find in loot
