Guild Wars 2

Players shouldn’t be rewarded for contributing less or punished for contributing more. In PvE and dungeons, while I still think it’s a bad design decision to have in the game, I can control who I choose to party or group with. In WvW there is less control. I understand there are a lot of different aspects to WvW similair to MF (like players who play while not level 80 or in full exotics/ascended) but there are good reasons to allow those people to play. Magic find should have no place in competitive PvP, especially when it comes at a cost of stat contribution to your server.

Seems entirely unnecessary. There’s already a system in place where your drops are based on damage. If you just to a few hits like in PvE you’ll never get good drops. Pretty sure you would actually get less drops and badges with magic find gear in WvW.

Get rid of it in competitive PvP. WvW doesn’t qualify. It’s not a huge deal in WvW. I can almost guarantee you that a few people with MF exotics in a zerg won’t mean the difference between a wipe or a win against an enemy zerg or tower. Because, if anything, the opposing probably zerg has an equal or higher number of persons in MF gear.

As far as MF food goes…not a big deal. The stat difference is so trivial.

MF really only helps to increase the rate of common drops. It has hardly any effect on more rare drops.

Back on topic… you also must think, for all those people on your server that are wasting stats to have it… there are just as many on the enemy server doing the same thing.

Equal.

MF is a horrid concept all round

Ho brother way to play into Anets hands with this one, hell why not remove all the drops, materials, crafting stations, banks, trading post, and all the other ways of making what little money is to be made in WvW.
Take it all out and then come back a week later to see how many people are in WvW.

^ this

I think by running magic find, you actually get fewer drops in WvW. Probably the best drop rate comes from full berserker gear and some kind of +damage food. That guardian spamming his staff for 250 per hit with stacks of magic find isn’t getting ANY drops.

I know because I’ve been that Guardian. :-p
