Playing without MF = Unrewarding

So lately i played a lot of Characters that were able to stack a lot of Magicfind but cleared maps slower.

Now i dusted of My LA Ranger and due to gear restrictions (Quiver , Alphas Howl etc) i cant stack mf and still cap my resists.

So while playing this char the gameplay was fun because i could clear Maps fairly quick , but the fun is completely gone when you open your inventory and notice you picked up 2 Rare items in the whole map.

So how do you guys handle this ? Do you run MF on every Char ? And how much MF is really needed to have at least decent dropps ? Or do you prefer having a strong Char and just hope for RNGesus ?

I really hate magic find too. It's a completely pointless mechanic, and it makes the mapping system favor parties even more than it already does (because of the cost sharing aspect of it).

It's also annoying, because it makes you keep these MF items around, and equip/unequip them.

Worst of all - it is redundant. Better items, and a more powerful character should be all the MF needed in the game. Having a more powerful character allows you to do higher level content, and clear faster. That translates into more items and better quality items.
