Guild Wars 2

So I’ve noticed Anet, doesn’t promote farming, which isn’t a big problem, because people will always find a way to farm. What bothers me is my drop rates have been absolutely horrible the past few days even with full MF gear. It makes me wonder how I see people with a lot less or no magic find at all, getting rares and exotics from drops or chests while I’m barely getting blues. I’ve really noticed a lack of drops and a lack of quality of my drops the past week or two. Before the Cursed Shore Plinx Event was changed, It seemed I would be able to reset my drop rates by doing WvW for an hour or so (no idea if it actually worked, but it seemed like it did on ocassion). I even went just killing aimlessly around the world here and there noticing, I was barely getting any drops and more than 60% of them were grey items and the other 40 were a mix of blues, greens and a rare every few hours. I used to be able to get a lot more than that. So bottom line is, does MF really actually help? Because I honestly can’t tell anymore. Please if someone could shed some light on this and also Is there a way to reset my drop rate so I can actually get drops?

Random drops are random.

There is a thread on the recent changes or suspected changes to the drop rates

Sposedly magic find doesn’t affect loot from chests

We`re not talking about the chests. Open-world loot was diminished in the same time Anet announced new drop-table for champions and vets.

I quoted the part of the top post that talked about drops from chest.

I read a post from one of the developers that they’ve heard a lot of issues with the drop rate and are investigating. They made it sound like it was a real issue because they went into details.
