Guild Wars 2

This is not an attack on magic find. Magic find is a part of the game and farming items is a part of the gw2 economy. I see this more as how much is too much and how do we even know? People don’t form a group of 5 warriors or 5 eles because we know it creates bad team dynamic. The class information is shown for us to avoid that situation. With magic find we can’t tell if there is too much until we’re in a bad situation and ragging on players to ping their gear – which is not enjoyable for any player. Players do not need to be fully optimized to complete or enjoy dungeon runs with public groups. You can have MF gear on your team and complete a dungeon run in good time with no problem. I just don’t want it to like a bad bingo game so please consider providing us the information.

The idea of a stats was discussed and answered in the work meter thread. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/A-meter-to-measure-workrate/page/2#post673902

The purpose to not to ostracize people who wear some MF gear, but to let the team members know what they signing up for. If a person has say 30% MF no problem. If a person has 100%+ MF on a team of 5 it is still manageable. When say two or more people happen to be farming with 100%+ MF then it impact the other members of the team no matter how good you are. Time is a commodity. People should have a right to know if they are able to allocate x amount of time to an event; otherwise, they will avoid public groups or simple avoid doing dungeons. Furthermore, I doubt the GW2 community will need to ostracize people who wear MF gear. When members can see how much MF gear the other members are wearing they will adjust.

It would be nice to be able to see how much MF gear a player is equipped with when they are on your team. This will create a fairer and more enjoyable game-play when we form public teams.
