You are the only one of a small subset of masochists.
The rest of us who have brains know that magic find is a garbage stat that never should have been created.
Those of us with brains also know that magic find didn’t increase your item drop rate. Rather your base item drop rate was nerfed and you had to stack magic find just to get back to the drop rate you would have had if magic find hadn’t been created.
Magic find is one of biggest trap affixes ever created. Never again!
Even having magic find weekend events would help. 1000% buff to uniques on top of that 1350 from before. Make normal uniques rain and a duriel chance for drops in dungeon turn in rewards.
frankly i think it was fun trying to balance what %MF you can wear without seriously hindering your ability to clear
That is how I exactly see Magic Find as a Utility (or access to power)
Which competes with the power and defense of your character like damage or resistance.
The holy trinity = Power/Survivability/Accessibility (greater power/survivability/etc)
Add a Rested Status that slowly depletes on playing and slowly generates while not playing. Players with a Rested status have their XP, MF%, and Gold% increased.
This helps incentivize players to come back at least off and on, helps casual players feel at least not left so far behind. You could either do this Account-Based or Character Based to encourage Alt leveling.
Playing continuously will far outweigh only playing while Rested and by no means is so players who infrequently play have the same reward as those who have and spend copious amounts of time in the game.
Blizzard likewise could and should implement weekly events to encourage diversity in gameplay. This should NOT amount to Dailies or Daily Log-In Rewards. Putting a week timer on special content is about right to keep things fresh. Weekly content would grant bonus rewards in the form of Materials, Gold, Elixirs, Aspects, and a Grand Cache. It would also be a source for potential Uber Unique items.
I know that Magic Find always had a negative impact on player stats, but really…
With mediocre gear, you are already 1-shotting everything in sight. May as well drop something like “All stats” for Magic Find.
The feeling is a bit more special knowing you are running around with 200% Magic Find. It actually makes mob-killing a bit more fun.
