Guild Wars 2

Several people and I have noticed that since magic find has gone account bound, the rate of actually getting any loot at all has lowered… Currently unbuffed my mf is at 80% and I had more loot drop before the game update… I’ve tried farming in large group and solo/ different classes and builds. But end up with crap loot rate. Some friends and guild mates said they noticed the same thing… I was wondering if there are other people who have the same issues o.o And to clarify I’m not talking about the rarity of the items but just items dropping in general.

i’m actually getting better drops with the account bound MF. i also like having my gear stats free of MF, so that i don’t have to chose between better build stats or better loot stats. thanks ANET!

I’m not talking about better drop I’m talking about the chance of a loot dropping ….

I cannot confirm or deny a change in loot chance…

However I do worry about something like this happening. There’s always that fear that, when Anet says they’ll give everyone up to 300% permanent global magic find, that in response to this they’ll cut loot drop rates to maintain balance in the economy.

They did. Its its to make sure people don’t get 300% too fast.

Is there any proof of this just so we aren’t going off speculation?

None that I’ve seen.

It is speculation but the rate difference is just too noticeably drastic. Before this update almost every other drop was a blue. After the update I am getting more trash than ever. That’s just me though.

I’ve been getting roughly the same rate of drops.

I haven’t noticed a significant difference at all.

It’s deja vu again…

The players who make these claims have no evidence and either they are messing with you or they see what they want to see. Anet has absolutely no reason to make changes like that without announcing them and has shown their integrity by being open and honest about bugs when they find them.

Loot drops have not changed.
