New scarabs for solo/small groups of players for better drops (idea for better experience)

With so many new scarabs we can so many combinations to find ways to make currency or loot, but in the end the loot we can get remains dissapointing most of the time for those who aren't with mirror tier gear or a 6-men group with MF, for those that simply wants to enjoy the game and have a few good drops here and there there isn't many options, you get rarely lucky or you get nothing at all and there isn't anything to help the solo or small groups players to get much items/currency more consistantly.

So I have a little Idea about new scarabs that would boost the solo players or those in small groups to get better items/currency without requiring all the MF gear with a Mirror tier bow with tornado shot.

The idea is to have 1 scarab that can stack up to 4 that increases the rarity of items found by 75% and 1 scarab that increase the quantity of items found by 20% which can also stack up to 4.

Now you might be thinking: wow 6-men MF got buffed to hell, well not quite, the way those 2 scarabs would work is that for each additional members in your party the value of those scarabs would be 25% less effective.

If you are a solo player and you use 2 rarity and 2 quantity scarabs you will get 150% rarity and 40% quantity, but if you are a duo it will now be 112.5% rarity and 30% quantity, if you are a trio it will be 75% rarity and 20% quantity, if you are a quad group it will be 37.5% rarity and 10% quantity.

This way those scarabs remain balanced towards solo players or 2-4 player groups and makes them totally useless against MF groups of 5-6 players.

This is just a little Idea to make the solo experience and those that only play with 1 or 2 friends a little better.

Thanks for reading.

i agree with you that single player is not as lucrative as MP.

your solution is just a band aid. the fundamental problem is multiplayer gains too much benefits.

GGG needs to fix that.

GGG once fixed skills via threshold gems. once they started to fix the actual skills, they removed the gems.

more things need to be fixed rather than given band aids/crutches

That is absolutely true, while it needs a bigger fix, this could be a hotfix until the problem is solved however.
