They added this with observer mode in PvP, and it’s pretty cool. It’d be neat to see it in PvE. I’ve got nothing to hide.

They will simply say: Enable inspecting or leave.

So what?
1. not all teams would ask this.
2. their choice to team with you or not.
3. your choice to team with them or not.
4. only 4 others in a team. If these 4 won’t team with you, is that the end of the world? There are no other pugs left? You’re ego / self esteem is that badly damaged already? You’re the only casual gamer in GW2?

sigh.. so many ninja leechers out there

I think it is your very own choice whether or not to use Magic Find or not.
It’s your own choice whether or not you want to be a burden for your group or not.

Just like it’s your own choice whether or not you want to back stab someone in your group or one of your friends. Yeah, It’s selfish but that’s what magic find or luck always is.
Luck is nothing you can give someone else. It’s something you just have.
Plus magic find is not the greatest thing ever.

“Wow I increased the chance to drop this item. Instead of a chance of 0.01% I now have a chance of 0.02% thanks to 100% magic find!”

agreed! most of the stuff people want to loot have ridiculously small % .01 .001 or even worst. just to double or triple that, spend their own and their teams time. I personally don’t get it. but its their choice, their game, good for them.

First of all the main problem is not even the stat Magic Find. Magic Find is AWESOME. visible increase at heavy bag volume. but unless you can MF the MF (magic find the mystic forge), personally don’t see why people even bother with it.

The ONLY problem is, most non magic find players do not want to waste/risk their time with magic find geared players.
cause – no real way to know what others are using.
real root cause – ninja MF leechers.

Make everyone’s total MF appear next to their HP bar. – problem solve.
only real difference. MF geared leechers can’t hide. Those already upfront about their MF gear – what difference would it be to them?

@Kaimick.5109 , @Elusive.9481 – you are just MF leechers trying your best to justify leeching.

1. Skill > stats? you think you’re the only one with skills? oh please this game is considered old already, everyone pretty much knows what to do. Dungeon PVE in this game, it comes down to stats. more damage stats = faster runs. So why should players that want fast runs have to use/risk more of their time.

admittedly there are still new players picking up GW2 everyday, but that’s a whole separate thing.

2. You think most players would even care to stop and tell you what you can and cannot do in game. You think you’re that important, some ego? If everyone’s MF is exposed its just becomes a simple choice – team with or not to team with. Probably most would rather not go with a player in full MF gear. So what? IS that’s elitism already, really? Not wanting to risk one’s own time for nothing in return = elitism? To me that’s just basic human nature. The most that would happen is Full MF gear does dungeons with other Full MF gear. World event chests etc MF doesn’t affect those. and its usually a huge zerg already nobody really cares who wears what there. Skill > gear stats right. What’s wrong with that. I’m pretty sure with 45AR 5 skilled players can go 300% MF and make it in fotm 50. MF damage stats = knight anyways.

3. MF DPS on stats. more or less = knight = soldier
a. Has anyone actually considered actual output? MF glass survivability= more dodging, more canceling mid cast or DIE. that affects time spent more than the actual damage you do.
b. the less damage you can take = the more your team has to take for you. Just because the MF player is constantly attacking doing Knight gear level DPS, not dying. and his team is performing like crap, so what? the way most RPGs mechanics work. low dps, tank better, high dps, kill faster. In a team that translate into. Low dps take more agro so high dps can have more freedom to destroy – TEAMWORK.

c. lastly so what if those non MF were actually just bad players. newbies/bad players will always exist, its the human factor. So that justifies leeching? “I’m teamed with bad players, so I deserve to leech.” that’s a real nice mindset you have there.

4. So what if all players in MF gear get kicked from parties/ being force to team with other MF gear players? What’s so bad about that?
some people don’t care team with them! Worst case MF gear with other MF gear, elitist jerks with other elitist jerks, casuals with casuals, basically like minded players sticking together. Would this just not mean everyone ends up with a more enjoyable GW2 experience.

<<THE FACT IS MOST MAGIC FIND GEARED PLAYERS THEMSELVES WOULD RATHER NOT PARTY WITH OTHER MAGIC FIND GEARED PLAYERS.>>
Why would they? can’t blame them, after experiencing first hand what its like in MF gear. I personally have full knight gear and full berserk gear. Doing knight level DMG while at Berserk level survivability, just imagining it > No TY…

5. Some might say full MF teams probably will fail dungeons more, bad experience, leave the game. Overall bad for community.
a. So just for the sake of having a bit more gw2 players, we should all spend up to 20% more time per MF geared in the team?
b. MF geared choose to be able to do less for a better chance at loot. It’s a conscious choice, it’s their choice, we should respect that. Non MF geared should not have to unconsciously cover that gap in parties with their time and effort. Developers should respect this.

As for making it party shared? how would it scale/stack. 300% = everyone 300%? 300%/x number of players in the party. sounds like a lot of work/balancing but who knows maybe devs are up to it.

I think all of us should be able to( I would even pay gems to have this ability )
1. right click target player.
2. choose view equipment
3. see what is currently equipped on that player, stats included not just the equipment icon.

why?
1. Because it will solve/prevent a lot of leeching , grief, unnecessary time lost.
2. Improve game experience for MANY of us players.
3. Most other crappier/older MMORPGs have this basic and useful in game function, so why GW2 not have this from release anyway?
