Guild Wars 2

i really think magic find in dungeons should be group based and not single person based.

meaning its the magic find of the entire group divided by amount of members in the group that decide how much each member gets.
so that ALL in the group always have the same amount of magic find.

in this way people won’t feel others are leaching and it will be fair for every one in the group no matter if some one decides to be 100% magic find geared. and it would allow people to use this as a supportive thing for the team being wanted in groups instead of being hunted

I think they should do a buff system with this, similar to the bounties you would get in GW1 from interacting with a dungeon resurrection shrine. These were used to get rep points for your PvE skills and other temporary bonuses (+X HP, +X energy, etc.), but a system for magic find would be interesting and may encourage trash killing.

I think wearing magic find inside a dungeon is bad manners.

go around in PvE with full explorer’s, and pirate runes, with opal jewels… no problem.

but inside a dungeon, you are sacrificing Crit, or power or any number of stats that WILL help your party for a better chance at the RNG… thus making you squishy, or underpowered, and making us rez u more, and u hitting the bosses for kitten dmg.

its not about how the program is managed.

its a matter of etiquette with your fellow players.

i think its a fine tactical use of mf IF it actually benefitted the entire group.
in d3 (yes i know almost everything in that game was completely kitten :P ) the magic find was shared between charecters so if you ran with someone with high magic find you would appriciate him being there even though he didnt add much other then magic find and the runs got harder becoue of it you where still happy to have him with you since you 1: could handle it even though he was pretty useless. and 2: you actually got alot out of him being with you becouse of the magic find increase he gave you.

my issue isnt that it gets harder, but that it gets harder with no benefit for any one but the person who is the reason it gets harder which is just wrong.

i would like to see it changed as said, since then people would be happy to see a FULL on magic find geared person in their runs.
it would be like “ kitten NICE!! i get more loot and i dont feel nerfed becouse of it, i just need to do a bit more becouse the person who is so nice to increase my drop rate ofc doesnt add as much dps/tank/support to the team”

I’m actually happier not knowing if someone has all magic find gear on in a group. If I knew it would make me feel like the rest of the group was carrying the player with all MF gear…. .which they would be. Soooo I try to ignore it and think happy thoughts. I know its happening but nothing I can do about it. Its how Anet made the game.
