to quote diabloii.net (which i believe was acurate regarding mf in 1.09):
So according to diabloii.net having +100% mf in 1.09 would give you precisely double the amount of uniques drops (when these can be rolled ofc.). "it's all the same up to 100%" would suggest they are not regarding 100% mf as your characters initial state, but rather having +100% mf from items etc.
Quote:There are substantial diminishing returns in MF's effectiveness as you raise it higher and higher. Use this calculator for exact percentages, see our MF info page for more details in this table. This feature was added in v1.09, and first confirmed by Jarulf.
Magic Find doesn't boost your odds of finding everything equally. It's all the same up to 100%, but after that your odds of finding Rares, Sets, and Uniques drop steeply. Blizzard added this in since it's possible to get such huge Magic Find numbers in the Expansion, and they didn't want it to be so easy to find the really good/scarce stuff.
