I'd be thinking more along the lines of Gold Find TBH.

regardless, it'll jsut be like IAS, the good items will still be the best, just not as high as they were.

quoting :)

In all seriousness though mf has already been nerfed out of existence.

- doesn't work on environment (corpses/chests)
- Doesn't influence item level
- Doesn't influence stat levels on items

All it does at the moment, is increase a chance of item quality (blue->rare->legend/set) off monster kills and it isn't doing much of that at the moment either. Neph has more of an impact due to the "guaranteed rares" while mf has slipped to becoming slightly more than worthless.

While drop-rates are fine in terms of item level, the quality of drops is woeful at the moment and way lower than it should be. I think they did this for 2 reasons

- to provide more vendor crap to cover repair bills
- to greatly reduce the chances of finding good gear via mf until they fix the gear switching problem where people are breezing through challenging fights and then reaping the rewards for having the mf gear tradeoff. Goblin farming with 300mf probably didn't help eheh.

Everyone is expecting it to be un-nerfed more than anything. If they break it further, especially considering it is 'all about the gear', then there really is no point in playing. The mf nerf has also completely fucked the economy of the game too.

I also am gifted in this area. My wizard is called "Zap" and my DH is "Twang".

These are resurrections of my Diablo 2 characters, in D2 I also had a barb called "Biff" and a Necromancer called "Fluffy". Fluffy was badass.

mf is still mad for act 1 or goblin farm imo. i get 2+ rare drops per goblin on average when i farm with 270+ n 300+ mf chars.

however i couldnt care less if they nerf mf or gf etc.. i just want em to unnerf the ias since i'd gain ~77 attack speed(= 80+k in dps).

Yes but it's useless because Act 1 drops are shit anyway. Gold farming OK but for decent items you will want to do acts 3 and 4.

I hope people use different passwords for b.net and their email accounts and have a security token.

So according to them, all info needed to gain access to your account has been compromised.

Mobile authenticators have been accessed too. Not the physical tokens.

This was always going to be a risk when they started dealing with real money...

If my accouint asks for mobile authenticator code everytime I log in am I still compromised?

There isn't that huge of an increase in iLvl 63 items in Act 3 and they're just as crap as the ones that drop in Act 1 and 2. You'll probably get more 63 rares cruising through act 1/2 with 250mf than act 3 with 0. You'll get plenty more blue and white 63s in act 3 though if that floats your boat.
