I've given more thought to what Jarulf and others have stated and I do believe there is no MF Reduction when hitting the same (already killed) boss over and over and I'll happily attest to that. My findings from my perception, and those whom I know that have used bots, lead me to believe that the drops average out accordingly to your MF (to what they should be relative to how much MF you have and how many people in the game).
However, when I made my two posts in this thread, I was reffering to my experiences using that "trick" in which I do notice a difference. As a matter of fact, I 'tested' it again tonight and challenge anyone else too also. I did it in under 1 hour and you can too:
~~WARNING~~ULTIMATE CHEESE~~WARNING~~
1.) Have a friend with a high level Enchantress enchant your soon to be MF'er and quickly tear through act 1 in 15 minutes and gain 15 levels in the proccess (time may vary according to players in the game, # of monsters, type of monster, etc.). Kill everything that moves; if you doubt your ability to kill it, kill it anyways. Your "uber" cheese enchant will be a lite unto your feet.
2.) Once you hit level 20 (hopefully in 20 minutes), have same friend make a public COW GAME, and watch it fill up the SECOND he makes the game. He must have the ability to make the "secret" cow portal. Once you have reached level 24 (in about 2.5 cow runs my average), its time for the next step.
3.) Time for Ancients. Said friend will tear them apart for you, then procede to give you the world portal for World Stone.
4.) Time to level up in Baal Run games until around level 40. With all those friendly public games where people "magically" find the Throne room in under 20 seconds, you'll be level 40 in about 15-20 minutes.
5.) Now your ready to MF and not a second too soon (our hour is almost up). With ZERO MAGIC FIND, have said friend make a Normal game (he must of already killed Baal) and kill all the minons to save you some time. Now you jump in to kill Baal and reap the rewards of uniques and sets with your ZERO MAGIC FIND.
6.) Repeat the proccess over and over. Watch as your drops start slowly getting worse and worse.
7.) Go ahead and make a new character and repeat the proccess to prove it's not an anomoly. I'll be waiting for you.
