I have a magic find set too, so I honestly am a little concerned that i’m going to end up with a set of gear that is worthless.

You’re probably right that improved drop rates would be a better solution. For me all I’d need would be better drops from chests in dungeons. They’re unaffected by MF anyway so I think they’d be a good motivation.

It too have two diferent greatswords (one is magic find). I just swap gear when that toon need go to tougher battle (like the Orr temples) or go to a dungeon or go to wvw. Sometimes I want a macro for change gear faster.

Not sure what Anet will implement for substitute magic find. Not sure too how much time that will need (I think Anet too do’nt know how much time they need for change magic find). I agree that something need change. I just hope they change the magic find gear I have to something usefull.

To me, and as you noted at the end, it’s more how absolutely appalling the drop rates are for meaningful items and crafting bits that make people want to take these sets to feel a bit more rewarded. You need these often enough in dungeons, and fractals to make it worthwhile and I can kind of understand that even though i rarely run them.

It seems before they even think about changing magic find they need to improve this aspect… and yeh, there is a lot more grind then i though there was going to be..or if not grind an extremely low chance at things of importance.

Aside from that it just doesn’t seem like that would be the sort of thing Arenanet wants, for everyone to have a very specific certain type of skill on their bar. Certainly doesn’t follow from the GW1 philosophy on skills and I don’t think it fits with GW2 either.

As for revamping boss fights, maybe they will in the long run, they certainly need the work.

This may be their way of regulating the rest of the skills, if a Ranger had another utility available to them (rather than slotting a speed skill) wouldn’t they (theoretically) be more powerful than before? I know it’s still player’s choice but if everyone expects you to have a speed skill equipped aren’t you more likely to slot one in order to keep up? Just a thought!
