Rarity stacking is dead - so is MF

Fellow Magic finders! Can we have an objective discussion on the state of MF since 3.25 dropped?

Allow me to sketch in some pre-match details regarding MF.

With approx 5-600 IR, I was finding around 100 uniques per map, and obtaining a decent amount of gear to trade.

Since we lost 200% more uniques dropping, it's evident to me, my IR was actually infinitesimal. It was the scarab doing the diligent work for me....or was it?

Since we've had a gargantuan influx of rare items into the game, they seem to take drop precedence over uniques dropping?

The new scarabs linked to IQ, simply do not cut it.

I am now obtaining a comparatively subatomical amount of uniques per map - approx 5-10 - and 99% garbage of course.

I am running with 2 titanic treasure scarabs and 1 titanic scarab, torment and full anarchy. (As they were dropping MB and HH last season trust me!)

The exiles and tormented spirits, tend to drop basic currency and a superfluity of rare items - and that's it!

Solution: Add more uniques dropping to the reward pool, as it currently stands it simply isn't rewarding enough.

I am losing my gusto to continue playing, and since playing since beta, it's a shame to lose my enthusiasm for a game I love.

Thanks and I hope GGG take my post seriously.

Current changes feels right and good. Leave it as it is GGG.

This is a win for your average player . our drops sell for more now that the no-lifers aren't ruining the economy.

i hope it stays this way.

It's not dead.

hoho MB and HH dropping and you're surprised it got slammed?

Maybe 5 uniques per map is correct reward for long time player?

The bigger problem here is that in modern POE most unique items are completely worthless and a joke for 99% of mapping and/or bossing capable builds.

It's actually worse than that. I'd say 99% of all items that drop are totally worthless. You are far more likely to get nice rares from Rog, a big shipment, or just crafting.

The only things worth picking up are currency items, maps, and some fragments. It's pretty shocking when you step back and look at it. It's a loot based game and the vast majority is either filtered out completely, or ignored.

I actually thand mb should be more common instead of nerfing everyone into the ground.

As someone who didn't mf, welcome to the nerf party. Maybe in seven years ggg will change course.

'Cause right now drops suck for everyone.

I've also noticed the current few uniques dropping, are usually the same 20 odd uniques.

For clarity, I have only ever found 1 MB and 1HH in 11 years!

Certainly nothing to nerf there!

Rares are clearly the focus of this league, sadly they're all otiose.

I'll continue to strategize further, but unless you have 1000 off IR or more....it's going to be a barren season!
