We all know it was nerfed to near-uselessness as cited by several devs. I was fine with this until not too long ago some guildmates, for shits, decided to put on some MF gear adding up to about 130% or so on his character sheet. Ever since then we've watched him (frequently) triple or quadruple the rest of the group's findings.
While it's true some great days do happen (for no reason I'll get 5 legendaries in one a1 bounty run on normal), while we chalked it up to luck on his part, as the days went on it seemed less like sheer lucky-streaks.
Anyway I thought it may be interesting to see if we can create some new numbers in a community effort. One group does 10 rifts with 0 mf, one does 10 with 100%, another with 200% (if anyone has that kind of gear still) and by old numbers this should result in 0, 10 and 20% increases in legendaries respectively according to the nerfs (right?).
Anyway, either the loot buff had an adverse affect on magic find and has gone unchecked or there was a stealth buff to existing magic find gear within the game. Or my friends and I are insane.
Anyone else able to weigh in on this? I don't lurk general too often so maybe I missed this when discussed already (I did a search and didn't find anything before making this thread).
TLDR: I think magic find is accidentally cool since the anniversary buff.
