So the new change averages out the gf/mf amongst all players?
Doesn't that hurt your gf/mf while playing in groups?
I don't have beta so no idea on what they really are so fore sake of the question I'm gonna make it easy. 4 man group, you have say 100 gf, another has 60 and other 2 none
So that's 160 gf divided by 4 your now Getting 40 instead of 100.
I understand its to stop leechers and that's good
I think it hurts people that have a little higher but hold there own and don't drag group down.
Realistically what is the chance the group average would be close or equal to your gf if your stacking it
Also once in group is there place to see the gf/mf you will be Getting?
Yeah it's definitely *not* good for pubbing, as I found out in the beta when my 177% GF was being split with other people who didn't care. So back to farming Royal Crypts solo.
Most people probably will farm solo regardless, assuming Inferno doesn't bash you up too much lol.
Well, it's definitely a good change to fix the leeching problem... but it'll definitely make me think twice about running full MF/GF in public games.
You're only capable of soloing the Royal Crypts efficiently with that much GF because it's the beta. You're way out-leveled for that content.
At the release, if you stack heaps of MF/GF and join a public game, sure you'll be dividing it amongst strangers that probably won't be grateful for it, but your killing and survival capacity will be greatly hindered, so you'll need to stick to the back of the group and be a useless added weight, but at least then you're not leeching and you're still helping the team out in your own way.
Simiarly, you'll have another player that will be stacking as much DPS as possible, and while he isn't contributing to the MF/GF pot of the group, he'll be killing faster. That is his contribution.
All in all, this was a great move by Blizzard. It now creates the scenario where no one is leeching, no one in the team has to be paranoid of others leeching, and everyone gets to play the way they want to play.

I'm just running the Ashes in the Royal Crypt. No monsters at all, just killing the little destructibles gives tons of gold. So I could probably do that in Inferno too...
But yeah, definitely a good idea from Blizz. The funny thing is I bet a lot of people won't know (ie general public playing during release).

I thought about this once and decided it's not really a problem until we actually hit inferno to see how it works. I'm actually curious with how the ashes and barrels and stuff will work in Inferno because you've already hit 60 by then and won't have any use for the exp bonus they give. Oh and if your method of farming gold turns out to be exploitable, then they'll fix that too I hope.

Yeah I can imagine little Billy stacking as much MF as possible in his solo runs, then he joins his first pub game and realizes that everything is dying a lot faster, so he pretty much creams his pants at the thought of getting items even faster than possible.
Then the sad day comes when Billy is told that MF is split amongst the group.
*Billy ragequit the game*
No but seriously, Blizzard will probably add this feature to the list of texts that appear while you're loading the game up. You don't want to dishearten the new guys too much
