What do you guys think about MF in its current state?

I'm a 31-year old player, with a full time job. Every league, my goal is to achieve 36 challenges as fast as possible and quit the league for good (usually 2-4 weeks depends on how much time I have). I never had any problem gearing my characters, but I also never could afford the luxury items (most of the time, 10-20ex character that could clear everything in the game).

I completed 36 challenges within first 2 weeks of this league, and the league is quite good so I decided to stick around and made an MF windripper, see if I could farm up a headhunter for the very first time running burial chambers. It's a budget winripper TS build (< 10ex investment, 65% quantity without windripper). I started off with 10ex left, ran around 400-500 maps, got 2 doctors and made enough to buy the rest (with the 10ex I had beforehand).



I did this in about a week time, playing 4-6hrs/a day. I'm surprised by how much currency I can generate by mindlessly running a low tier map, which I find quite annoying. I think you should be forced to run high tier map to make more currency, and MF is quite unhealthy for the game.

What do you guys think about MF in its current state? Is it good or bad, should it be nerfed/removed?

Literally nothing wrong with it.

Copying D2's MF idea as PoE mechanics was a huge mistake in game design made by GGG. MF is wrong in its nature. MF mods should be removed everywhere except maps.

Farming lowly T3 Burials is the most fun I've had in this game.

I find the lack of currency without MF massivly boring, MF compulsory

I find MF on its current state as super extremely boring. You can say different things, but in practice it boils down to constantly running Burial Chambers, Spider Forest, some old timers can do Vault and some poor player – Volcano. Four maps of 158. Personally I say – no thanks. I can live without headhunter in temporal leagues, besides, if I really want to get it in such league, I prefer crafting as source of currency.

Definitely more exciting then compulsive running the same map over and over again. I did it in D2 (hello, Pindleskin), farmed Windforce, sold it for real money, then in PoE tried to farm some spider forests in Harbinger, had 1 doctor after 300 maps with full MF equipment (perfect Bisco and so) and after that experience I said goodbye to MF forever and ever :)

I think they should just remove mf gear since it just makes you want to run mf chars

Raise global drop rates if needed based on random data if you want... or not dont really care eiter way long as i dont have to think to myself on every char "but i want mf" then put all my mf gear on in some rigged way to max res


My main char (this one) on this league has an mf set tho it doesnt seem to give me better drops even in a party with my other char

I think it's fine.

Also, double corrupt the HH or no balls.

It's not perfect. But it is one way to play the game. One of many. And choices are good.

I don't see any problem with MF.

It's one play style and not everyone does it or should feel compelled to do it.

Personally I never did and never will. Found 3 Bisco's this league and sold them all. I do well enough without feeling I NEED to play MF.
