and the stupidest grown-ups who are the most grown-up.”

The stats section of the Hero Panel shows the wrong Magic Find number. It used to show the player’s total magic find, but now it only shows the amount gained from luck consumables.
As you can see in the attached screenshots, my account should have a total of 129% MF, but the Hero Panel UI only shows 120% (the amount gained from luck consumables). I don’t know about guild bonuses or other boosters, but the achievement point bonuses don’t seem to apply.
I have no way of knowing whether this is purely a UI bug or if it actually has an effect on item drops.
I’m fairly sure it has an effect on the drops. I assume this because the other Achievement bonuses don’t seem applied either. The easiest to see being Karma gain from events – before the event reward (top right) would show what that event gave and the inventory collection (bottom right) would show the boosted number, but now they match.
@Must Kill.3826: in your case the number on Hero panel is being showed in green, what means it’s being affected by some buff or bonus then it wouldn’t match with the other value anyhow. However, in these cases it would be expected the number on Hero panel to be higher than the one on Achievements panel (your normal MF plus buffs or bonus). In this case, yes something seems to be wrong.

Actually, it does that any time you’re scaled down. I had to travel specifically to a level-80 area to take the screen shots in my original post, but I only did that to avoid any doubts regarding the cause of the problem.
As you can see in the following screenshot, downleveling doesn’t appear to have an effect on magic find.
Also, it’s important to note that the food buff (+26%) still appears to be applied, whereas the achievement bonus does not.
To clarify, it should be as follows:
120 base luck + 9 achievement bonus + 26 food bonus = 155% magic find.
Instead, it is:
120 base luck + 26 food bonus = 146% magic find.

Oh yes, that’s right. It happens on that case too. Thanks for pointing it out.
