Does anyone have the link to view only staff posts in this thread?

I am interested in knowing what the staff post was in this thread also, does anyone know? Or could someone from ggg comment on the developers position on this topic?

To do this for any thread, add the following text to the end of the URL:

/filter-account-type/staff

As you can see, no staff post is here anymore.

Removing MF is too difficult at this point, but MF gear should definitely be nerfed as it promotes the following:

1. Boring gameplay for MF players.
2. Players who challenge themselves by playing tough maps are more likely to trade currency for cool gear instead of finding cool gear.
3. Economy receives rare/unique items a lot faster, making drops less exciting a lot faster.

Honestly, this seems like one of many topics that get inspired by people attributing their own in-game poverty to factors outside their play (w/a little jealousy mixed in). Playing a MF character is one way to become wealthy, but not the only way, at least on HC servers. In fact, it's very difficult to make a MF character that can do anything but farm Lunaris or Docks w/any safety.

Since the big ticket items are the ones with the highest ilvl affixes, there is just as much potential for getting rich just making an effective character that can clear high level maps efficiently. There are diminishing returns for both IIR and IIQ. Link a skill to culling strike, IIR, and IIQ, and finish blues/yellows/uniques with it. This will drastically increase your rate of good drops, w/no IIQ/IIR on gear required.

Honestly, getting like 30/50 is more than enough to see a drastic increase, and I don't notice that much of a difference from 30/50 (w/IIQ and IIR gems that becomes ~70/100) to 50/200 (90/250). There are plenty of people that primarily melee (there was a guy who recently posted a guide to farming who only melee'd, just used a culling strike weapon on weap swap) and can farm effectively.

Don't blame game design for your own problems. If people spent half as much time setting up a decent IIQ/IIR skill for bosses and getting some pieces with a little bit of IIQ as they did complaining about the mechanic, they'd have nothing to complain about. Yes, the people that can get 100/300 will get even more drops, but that's the way of the world. There are always going to be players richer with better gear, and that wouldn't change if they removed IIR/IIQ.
