Gradual Reduction in MF Effectiveness

[Taem]

I do not take what Jarluf says in contempt, however I have made no less than 6 Magic Finding characters and, well, here are my steps and results on the USWEST closed realms:

1.) Create character
2.) Level character up to 50, but don't kill Baal!
3.) Create a game with a character that HAS killed Baal
4.) Enter game with MF'er (no MF required using this trick) and kill Baal

RESULT first 10 runs) Drops are UBER good (i.e. ALL rare, unique, and set)

RESULT next 10 runs) Sets and Unique’s drop less frequently (every other game), and blue starts showing up

RESULT next 10 runs) Less and less sets, uniques, and rares and more and more blue. Seems to me that it teeters out around here or gets a little worse where sometimes I see all blue and a few whites, even when I strap on 150% MF, however intermittently, I do get all rares with a one or two uniques at a time.

As I said before, this is from personal experience on no less than 6 characters that I can list and name their creation dates (but probably more realistically around 20 MF'ers but I just don't recall details of the others). The results have continually been the same! I suggest further testing for those interested, however.
