My Bot/DM goes for +1/x5, and that's with the build that has no battle drones.
I set it for +0/x8 with bosses and AVs no matter what I'm doing because there's no incentive for me to fight higher level enemies as a level 50. I get the chance for purples, and any recipe that drops will be at least level 50.
My character is bots/traps with Mu cages. Four pools are leadership, speed, teleportation, and presence. The drones and Assbot are softcapped to everything. The MM is softacapped to ranged/AoE. I have better than stamina recovery in set bonuses so I don't have trouble on the blue bar.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I'm running +0/+6 and it can get hairy with Nemesis and such. Once I get the pet auras, things should smooth out.
I might go for -1/+8 to get drops faster at some point, though.
Edit: On my Bots/Traps at level 50.
My 39 ninja/poison soloist just went from +2/x1/boss to +3/x1/noboss. The bosses seem to make a big difference, so I'm thinking next time I play, I'll try a mission at +4/x1/noboss and see what that's like...
I so enjoy seeing the large xp numbers on a kill. 
I'm new-ish. Again.

for drops, i run +0/x8, just streamrolls right through most spawn types
tried up to +3/x8, things slow down ALOT and but still doable, (need to be careful around malta tho >.>) Arachnos is suprisingly difficult at this setting, due to all the varied debuffs and damage types flying around.
All of this on my IOed Bot/Dark

Wow. It is nice to see people are really cranking it up. I hope within the next few levels my two MMs can both crank it up like you guys have. I see a lot of people are doing +0/+5 +0/+6 etc. That is the opposite of the way I've been going. I think I will try that again. My MMs were around 30-32 when I ran +0/+4, so I have a lot better slottage now. I really like the idea of +0/+8 for purple drops, I hadn't thought about that. Maybe that will get me interested in the market again.
My Bots/FF is running at +0/x3 right now (Only level 8) and I fry through pretty much everything short of Snakes.

I was just curious what difficulty settings people are using with their MMs. In general any MM, any lvl, team or solo and then as a separate question which difficulties are being used with a late thirties Robots/ or Necromancy/ solo?
I have a lvl 39 Robots/Traps and a lvl 37 Necro/Dark that have both had the last few weeks off due to halloween and they will be back on in a few days. I play solo most of the time and I want to know what everyone else is doing. I want to make good xp per hour, but more importantly I want to have fun. When the difficulty changes were made I thought the it would be great to play at +0 +4pl, but I actually found that quite difficult. More so than +2 +0pl. My Robots/ MM is on +2 +2pl atm, however, honestly I have to diff down against Arachnos and Longbow. My Necro is at +2 +1pl and of'course some opponents are easy some are perfect. I have Assault and Tactics on all my MMs and capped Acc on all attacks so hitting +2s is never a problem. I have no set bonuses.
Ramble on.
