i think most people will leave some mf/gf on their gear for grouping, but i can't see it being a problem for the small number that might go out of their way to stack it
So now instead of complaining about being grouped with a MF stacker who can't pull their weight, we'll be complaining about people who don't have enough MF gear bringing down your own MF.
Starting to seem more and more like pub games are going to be pointless. Play with a clan/friends or don't bother pretty much. I'd almost prefer having to carry MF leeches than deal with having my own MF neutered because the people I'm grouped with have bad MF gear.
I think something might have been lost in the translation, "The group consists of four players. In total, their stats are 50% MF, +20% GF and 10% XP, each of these players will have a 12.5% MF, 5% and 2.5% GF XP being in such a group."
Maybe the bold part is a bonus for being in group, your personal MF + 25% of the groups average? makes sense since you get 20% of your merc when your in a solo game.
I agree with Nuvian; Perhaps this is translation error and/or something that is not in its final form. Being in a group should give only bonuses (even if modest) and should never decrease anyone's stats.
e.g. Everyone keeps their own base MF/GF, then ADD a small percent of the group's average. And to keep reasonable MF numbers for game balance, it doesn't need to be 1/4 or other "large" fraction of the group's average (that would make MF way too high).
Prediction: There will be at least one build that will be able to stack MF through the roof but still be a solid contributor to a group - not in absolute terms of DPS, but by taking nothing but debuffs/buffs.
Public Chat: "Looking for MF-WD* for group - must have 1000%MF and buff pack build" repeated endlessly....
Tired of the usual runaround, tired of being disappointed, tired of the delays, tired of not getting into beta despite so many tries.
Whatever the news may be, even if it is finally the release date, Blizzard has put us through so much, it doesnt even matter at this point.
Still buying the CE, still going to enjoy playing. But the road getting here has been stressful and Id rather not even put any more heart into following this.
"Currently, Magic Find, Gold Find, and +XP bonuses are averaged across the entire groups"
lol I made a huge feedback e-mail showing how not shared MF, GF and XP could lead into situation were people would have huge advante on picking MF/GF gear instead of get stronger and this could lead into a very harmful enviorment in high end coop pubs. And how sahred MF/GF bonuses completlty solves the problem sin all sitations.
Looks like many others gave similar feedback and Blizz agreed. It's nice to see how responsive they are.. for me it proves that feedback and not agreeing with everything they put is valid and good for the game and the community. And that they actually listen to us, but doesn't mean they won't judge our suggestions.

If only they listened to the feedback about the new UI....
"9" means we're 90% of the way there.... of course that clock started ticking in 2001.... so, let's see.... 90% of 12 years.... we only have about another 1 year and 3 months until they definitely make an announcement about the launch date

Yeah...

9 means 2012 + 9 years = 2021

Cool news!
