I think the infinite dungeon is probably unrealistic as well. Some of the stuff doesn't seem bad and I hope that they are working on those things already, like the fixes for the AH.
Unless Blizzard increased drops on the later acts by the same ratio of health increases you will always get more drops from act 1 by the fact of being able to farm it quicker.
Your basing your conclusions on a different point. You are saying because I can't kill thing as quickly in act 3 I should get more loot than act 1. I'm not taking time in as a factor. I am saying if you kill the same amount of packs in act 3 you should come up with more ilvl 63s. If you are in act 3 it will always be more efficient to farm act 1 because you will vastly out gear it. So should they nerf act 3 and 4 so that you can out gear it and be able to clear it as quickly as you can act 1?
I dont expect to get as much loot for having lower MF. If I have equivalent I do expect to get as much loot from all the acts. I expect to have a higher chance at better loot in the later acts. If I have the same MF find in act 1 and act 3 then I believe with averages I get more ilvl 63 gear.
I'm not talking about farming Act 1 with 200 mf vs farming Act 1 with 0 mf. It's about farming Act 1 with 200 mf while farming Act 3 with 0 mf. Since Act 3 requires much higher stats to clear than Act 1, the amount of magic find on your gear will be greatly reduced. Once you're farming Act 3 with less magic find than in Act 1, Act 3 becomes a less effective farming spot. Thus rendering Act 2/3/4 farming less efficient unless a person uses no magic find or has the maximum magic find.
I don't see the problem with this. This is how MF is suppose to be. Of course your going to get less gear if you have less MF.
Actually, you'll get more i61+ rares farming act 1 with 0 MF than farming act 3 with 0 MF (and high dps / surv).
The fact you can get away with stacking a ton of MF in act 1 is jut gravy on top of the biscuit.
The problem with this is that act 4 should provide the highest chance of getting the best items, not act 1.
Exactly. Right now, the game punishes you for not being able to use magic find in Act 3. Instead, I think the game should reward the player for using that kind of gear. If you're not using a high amount of magic find in Act 3, then you're being punished by receiving less drops than you would in Act 1. It should be that you get equal amounts of gear in Act 3 with little/no magic find and then get rewarded for being able to stack magic find on top of those survival stats.
I guess I see a philosophical difference from you on MF. I don't see a problem with you being punished for not being able to use as much MF in later acts. That is the trade off. You have to balance your gear around being able to fight and have MF. If that means you can't have as much MF in act 3 as you cound in act 1, I don't see how you should expect to get as much loot. The only thing you should get from later acts is a greater chance that the rares you do get are higher ilvl.

I do agree that an app for the ah would be awesome.
