Why don't people wear MF gear in maps?

most people dont wear MF gear in maps. why not? ur not being efficient at all farming. maps isn't hard at all you can sacrafice some stats to get quantity/rarity find
Don't you already get +50% quantity for being in a party, plus more from the maps bonuses?

Does MF gear in the party stack with each players stat, or does it only count for the person that kills a monster?

You can also just use rarity and quantity gems too.

^ in parties, MF only applies to the player who lands the killing blow.

HC Talisman: BRING_BACKUP
A lot of 4+ party farm for exp, and relies on the +50% quantity for more maps. They will find less rares, but just as much maps. They kill faster which means in unit time, they will farm just as much if not more. Also, more map runs means better chance at higher levl map. Once you are doing high level maps, even the whites become more valuable for their craftbility.

How do you know people aren't wearing MF gear when they run maps? If you are talking about streamers, most of those guys are playing HC where the cost of sacrificing other stats for the MF stats is extremely high and probably not worth it.
Yea quantity alone is better than quality. You get more white drops and more orbs / maps, more chance of getting a godly linked white item and alchemy / chaos orbs to play with it.

And also more skill gems.

I wear "MF" gear and solo maps, I rely on the map for extra quantity. I have a consent stream of maps, and only farm docks / other things just to change things up.

1st - some people i persinaly know DO wear MF gear in maps.

2nd - some people change gear to MF before killing blow (my party does, 7 rares from boss average)

3rd - its a question between quality and quantity. With no MF on gear you clear map in 4 minutes. With full MF you ll waste 10 minutes, but will get 2x items. Depends on you to decide if it worth it or not.

You don't get more maps for having more people in the party. Quantity bonus does not effect their drop rate.
