Hi,

for me there is just no good reason why MF exists. What is EVERY Hack n' Slay about?

Grinding items & builds.

How should I grind items? In the most effective way.
How can I do this? Stack MF...MF...MF

What is the situation with builds:

Diversity of builds is rly important or at least the possibility to have diversity, which is for some ppl the reason to keep playing a game for long. Starting new chars, trying out ideas

Can I build the maximum dmg of my char, what I would actually like to do? Sure I can, but then I need around 3-4 times longer to get the desired currency/items to get my build to work.
There hasn't been any other game, where i started so many new chars, trying stuff out. And then in the lategame? I stack MF or play my MF char, to farm items for new builds.


----------------------


We are so used to MF that it has become normals like our daily bread, without asking ourselved, whether we rly need it or even want it. Sure, it is one more stat on items, that can make it worthy. But will it lead to more build variety?
PoE is always praising itself to be a hardcore/oldschool game. Ok. Let me try to survive, obtianing high killspeed and let me play like that. But dont force me into a specific direction: MF.

Truely one will say: "Noone is forcing you to go MF. Play your highdps char if you like to it is all about fun." Well, truely spoken dear friend, but do I really want to need 4 times longer to equip my chars, than others do? I also have a real life, I also have to work. I cant play everyday for 8 hours or multibox the shit out of this game.



For me there is just NO GOOD reason, that MF exists. This would be compensated by the maps. Maps were NEVER intended to be used for leveling. As devs said, THEY ARE FOR ITEMFARMING (although they are now all there is as endgame content, so....they are used for both. lvling and itemfarming).

Remove all MF, give 2 Map types (exp and MF). Or remove MF completely. I wouldn't shed a single tear.



That is all i wanted to say.
Enjoy the weekend.

[Edit]
Nice that so many ppl agree with me.


Those who disagree: You are completely right, when you say, that MF adds a bit of depth of planning to your build. Because you have to sacrifice DPS and Def for it.

The only problem atm moment is, that you really HAVE to go into this direction, unless you want to spent ages to make any progress.

In my op droprates in this game are so low, that you get forced into mf (Which is oc part of the concept. If the droprates would be high, noone would go mf but for killspeed). But as others said before: There are builds which 100% fit a mf style and others dont. What is better for a game, which is designed around build-diversity?

Its the same problematic, as it is with lioneyes glare (op bow - need nerf): Some changes have to be made but there will be players, who will be hurt extremely by those changes, perhaps a whole build gets destroyed. So where the problematic with Lioneyes is still up, we are talking here about a whole mechanic of the game, not only a single item. So the chances it will be ever removed are 0. But one should always consider:

WE ARE IN A BETA! IF THINGS WONT BE CHANGED HERE THEN....


But still I had to make this post, just to see what the common opinion is.

Yeah I would love to see it happen but there isn't much hope.

Imagine a game where you can play a 2H melee and get just as much loot as dual spork...

:(

It is sad indeed that i have to make a MF character to fuel my need of orbs for my main character.

Would welcome this if it would be followed with increased orb drops at least.

I must be playing this game badly to not have a dedicated mf char.

this thread shows up one day after similar one petitions the removal of curses from the game.

One can dream, but I don't think this will happen :(

I completely agree with this. I find it to be a distraction to my enjoyment when I play rather than a complement.

Wrong.

The answer is multiboxing ;)

Love the idea.

disagree

its fine

what sucked is when there were MF passives on the tree

I agree with OP. I used to say it back when all the gear could have MF, the core problem still remains. MF hurts the balance, balancing the drop rates with MF in mind hurts everyone who plays a build that is not MF friendly etc. etc.
