I have spent hours and hours in docks got like 3-4 worth while rares and have spent hours and hours and hours in maps and still a few worth while rares NO top end uniques out of docks or maps hell the best drop I have gotten a bringer of the rain was in a 71 temple with meh mods on my none magic finder. People need to give up this notion that magic find makes amazing uniques fall from the sky. No shaves drops no Soul takers no andvarius not a single multi exalt unique. One could argue well you get alts but with an exchange of 600 alts to an exalt you are going to be farming for days. I mostly pull horrible rares and horrible uniques.... 302% rarity 81% Quantity You are forgetting about the chaos recipe and the fact that you find more currency and rares in general. If you don't think that its doing much then take it all off and run a character with no magic find solo. Have fun finding basically nothing.

This is by essence what makes ARPG, if I was able to drop as much shiny items with my Mara slammer that never dies or with my awesome DPS Ranger it would be pointless to run a MF character, removing MF is, for me, a way to cut diversity of builds. As I said in another thread, making a decent MF character takes time and dedication, as much as making a good DPS.

MF characters are boring to play. I would never in my life play sporker again if I could get a decent droprate on my other characters(3/4 times what it is now at least). MF characters make the game boring and tedious. Usually that's something people avoid. Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs. We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.

yeah i don't see why we must sacrifice fun for good drops by making dull as cardboard mf characters. It is the chief reason why all my friends and eventually my self stopped playing . We either were bored to tears because we were farming with the most dull , hands off cookie butter mf characters or we were intensely frustrated by how shitty the drops were on the characters that were actually fun to play . So gggs game is either dull or frustrating , and a large part of it is the magic find system. I mean whats the point all those interesting uniqueness if we are just going to shelf most of them for item rarity and quantity gear.

For the record about about clear speed 4min to do a full docks run and in maps other people do the dps I cull hence the "your spells have culling strike". Also I would like to point out about the chaos recipe that some items drop more often then others so getting yourself enough ammys and rings to make chaos is very difficult.
