Gradual Reduction in MF Effectiveness

[JustAGuy]

I did not say that your experiences, nor mine, PROVED the existence of a background phenomena that affects MF. I did say that your experiences are the same as mine, wherein the drops you get after multiple runs gets increasingly worse. The drops getting worse when MF is very or extremely high is indicative of something, somewhere, affecting the quality of our drops, but as of yet, cannot be proved.

I agree with you that more testing is needed. I'm going to build a new character to do runs with, right after I finish my avenger (he's level 72, so shouldn't be long till he's 82ish -- that's usually where I let them rest at). With the new character, I'll catalogue the runs and see what, if anything, the data can bring to light. I'll be tracking my drops for my own sanity's sake, not really in the hopes of uncovering a conspiracy.

Due to the nature of probabilities and the lack of true randomness (which probably doesn't exist anyway, but that's another topic), my sample will probably be not nearly big enough to come to a conclusion about the topic of this thread. Nevertheless, I'll do it, and maybe I'll finally get that Herald of Zakarum.
