Remove cooking staples from nodes.
No more Karma sinks. I’d be fine paying copper for the pieces, but we seriously don’t need any more karma sink since we barely get a fraction of what we used to get back in the day.
I agree with this thread, and it has to be karma, if they make ingredients attainable by dishing copper/silver/gold (which one can buy with real money) it would be just another form of P2W that will allow players to just buy their way to 500 cooking mastery.

Buying your way to max level cooking is in no way, shape, or form “Pay to Win”.
I agree with the other poster, Karma is more difficult to come by than gold, so I oppose this idea as presented.

There is nothing wrong with the current cooking material gathering system so there is no reason to change it.
If you want staple items added to the cooking vendors, that is also questionable since it would effect potential sale of the items on the TP. That is not a good thing for buyers or sellers.
BTW, there are already a good many items required to do cooking available ONLY with Karma, so adding more does not really make much sense.
Getting cooking to 400 (or possibly 500 in the future) is NOT “Pay 2 Win”. That term is uses far too many places on these forums by players that have NO idea what it really means. If you can actually progress in the game without the items, the are not needed “to Win”. Many on-line web based games CANNOT be advanced any further without paying real money for items you MUST have to move forward in the game…..those are “PAY 2 WIN”.
Guild Wars 2 has many “Pay to progress faster” or “Pay to make easier” points but all of them (as far as I know) allow you to purchase the items with in game currencies (not force you to use RL money).

I guess the OP wasn’t playing back when they suspended a player for the karma cooking exploit. It was the chili popper exploit. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1039092145
Back then there were a number of cooking items you could buy with karma. There was a incident where one player found out how to make gold selling the chili poppers. He then advertised this information to large numbers of people. He got a 3 day suspension and several items were removed from the karma table.
Afterall, none of these ingredients grow in the wild
Wait, what?
You really think that these things don’t grow in the wild?
