Do you understand what is probability? Guarantee =/= higher chance  sweat.gif 

MF gives you higher chance, it has been proven by studies published. Blizzard also already published in game guide that MF affects affix quanitity of rare.
The problem is there is no finding that Act 3 has higher base affix count. The only study that is ever proven is that Act 3 has high drop chance of ilvl 63, and that's all. I'm in the camp that Act 3 drops have the same standard affix tier and lower Acts.

As a statistically pointless anecdote, I have been farming Act 3 regularly yet my earnings far lags behind my friend who farms Act 1 with 250MF, a factor of 10 to 1.

If you're still interested, a Reddit post is up for ongoing studies on the effects of MF on Affix count, probably on Goblins.

hmmmm my mf% switch gear can pump my mf% up to 302% (include 75% from 5NV) so i should just farm act1 enough oh? since it is safer.
act2 can die if not careful lulz.

i.e. i switch to 302% mf% before making killing blow for elites.
