As far as my own opinion of this goes, I’m a little irritated about how we are allowed to complete certain activities by the game’s shifting mechanics. I’d like it if “community driven” also implied an “informed community”.
Dragon chests often barely covered the cost of waypointing to them, so an obvious alternative was to park a level appropriate character in the area and switch in when indicated by the dragon timers, same with the (former) rich ori node in Southsun Cove. It may have been “cheap” but that tactic being considered exploitative is debatable and I can’t help but feel that we’re being punished for being clever, and punished with “hidden moves” rather than an announcement. It’s fine if they don’t want us doing things “this way” or “that way”, but it would have been nice if we had been told they had planned to do this. I don’t expect or intend for anyone to act upon or even agree with what I’ve said, I just feel better having said it and I got to vent for wasting my time.

I would have liked to have known about this before hand, personally.

Basically you can sign in, go straight to a dragon zone, have the dragon pop, fight it, get a gold award but a small percentage of the karma/gold/xp and absolutely no chest will spawn.
Actually, I think it should stay, and just be extended to the entire party.
So a player running 100% MF would boost the entire party’s MF by 100%. That means everybody gets benefits from their gear (just as they would if they’d put those points into damage or healing instead) and they’re not leeching, they’re actually contributing in a significant way.
Quick and easy fix to an otherwise messy issue.
I agree. I believe magic find could have better implementation than it currently does. Having it effect the entire party would support the “team oriented” nature of GW2’s content and would at least partially eliminate the “selfish” nature it currently holds. Every piece of gear should be able to enhance the party, that being said however, discriminating against one type of gear or the other does not prevent being grouped with “bad” or “leeching” players as gear has no direct impact on dodging red death, situational awareness , experience or anything else that actually makes someone “good”.
TL;DR – I like MF, I just wish it contributed to the party.
Over a dozen instances of the “on/off site for event start, gold qualification but no chest”, seven reported after varying levels of previous play activity.
I will no longer be participating in this content until this issue has been addressed and resolved.
