Guild Wars 2

I was nearing the end of the Dry Dock Jumping Puzzle and then I briefly lost server connection. This resulted in me losing my milestone buff and the Skirt modifier I had paid for. This meant I I couldn’t loot the chest :-(
Food and banner buffs stay on the character when logging in and out, so why doesn’t a buff that has a 24 hour timer on it? Given how long the JP is, this seems like a big oversight or design to grief players.

Yesterday my Magic Find was showing as 71%, I’ve just completed an invasion and salvaged lots of items and used the numerous Essences of Luck, yet my MF now shows as 64%.
I regularly play with the same people and they are still on around 70%+

I have just experienced this problem, after messing about for a while with settings this has not gone away. There only thing that has changed is that I have just upgraded my video card.
