why is GGG so adamant on having MF in a game?

its terrible design just remove rarity completely from gear it ruins the market and it feels terrible to not play MF character feels like you are wasting time 1# MF build right now is archmage spark MF you can easy drop 10-20 exalts per map and divine orb every 5 maps or so i dont get it why GGG is so keen on keeping MF items its an old terrible concept

MF belongs to the dumpster bin tbh. If they really want to keep that concept, then just on uniques please that you have to sacrifice a lot of other stats in exchange for loot and character strength

as far as I am aware it was kept in the game because it was core to diablo 2, the inspiration for the game. But it's been years since it was actually relevant. Most good players just run maps thousands of times or farm one content type so well they print currency.

MF has been dead for very long time. bisco's leash sold for the equivalent of like 2-3 divines in 2017 and perfect ones for dozens of divines. now youre lucky to get a chaos for it.

Their explanation is something in the lines of: Once your gear is perfect, there's not much game left. They always want you to look for upgrades and MF just adds another layer on top of the affixes that makes you powerful. It's just another reason to keep progressing and upgrade your character.

Personally, I think MF is a bad idea. The only thing it does, is creating larger gaps than necessary between the players who do have it and the players who do not. It makes you feel like it's mandatory, even though it isn't. It makes balancing harder and I think it hurts the game in the long run because of it.

they removed item quantity in PoE becuz it was broken but now in PoE 2 item rarity is back to pre nerf poe days its basically mandatory if you arent playing mf build in poe 2 you are handicapping yourself what was the point to remove quantity in poe just to add it back in poe 2 even stronger? i dont understand GGG though process i hope in full release they remove it

cuz they think d2 is the best game of all times and they're obsessed with its garbage systems

it kills the motivation to play the game knowing some magic find build in low tier maps make 10 times more currency than i do with my gearred character doing the hardest content avaible

Even the Diablo team got rid of MF. The stronger your character, the higher the difficulty you play, and the more rewards you get. What is the purpose of MF?

They have it because D2 had it and they have enshrined D2 to an unsavoury degree

Is this where everyone just comes to whine about nothingburgers?

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?
