A lot of things in ARPG genre are the way they are just because someone made that call 30 years ago after thinking for about 30 seconds. MF might be the worst one though. Last edited by AlyMirage#0497 on Dec 23, 2024, 9:12:21 PM	Posted by AlyMirage#0497 on Dec 23, 2024, 9:09:59 PM Quote this Post

Where is the problem? no they do not trade for better gear they still play MF and make 10 times more currency doing low tier content than players who do hardest content avaible thats the problem keep reading my sentence over and over until you finally understand what am saying Last edited by Deviant#8289 on Dec 23, 2024, 10:43:23 PM	Posted by Deviant#8289 on Dec 23, 2024, 10:42:58 PM Quote this Post

I don't think it's a good idea either Probably a good reason also that other games have removed it Guild Wars 2 being another example They changed it to being added to your account, instead of on gear This game also have party play You shouldn't want to encourage people to run magic find, instead of things like buffing allies or dealing more damage Last edited by Jokke1989#7206 on Dec 24, 2024, 1:38:13 AM	Posted by Jokke1989#7206 on Dec 24, 2024, 1:34:13 AM Quote this Post

Me looting 2EX per map while others do this all day: Cannot believe this is actually in the game. What a horrible design decision. Just one of many when it comes to endgame.	Posted by Baroc#2678 on Dec 24, 2024, 4:16:00 AM Quote this Post

D2 is the best ARPG, period. It had MF, and so does this game. What is the problem here? You have crazy good gear and can do hard content. Other people don't and so they put on MF gear to get currency to trade for the gear that you have. Where is the problem? so you've never played path of exile huh?
