Guild Wars 2

…in order to encourage players to succeed at events.

Lol.

That is all.

Seems like karma got a pretty big nerf in this update. bummer.

combined with all the other karma nerfs and the large amount of karma needed for the new items, it looks like they may be trying to make karma worth more.

I’m sure they know how much karma everyone has. I suspect they are trying to drain players supply so they can make it more valuable.

Well considering how I’ve got plenty at the moment, they can put out all the karma costing stuff they want.
If its worth the purchase I’ll plunk some down.

Also, now that obsidian shards are required for ascended crafting, I imagine quite a bit of karma will be drained after this update.

Hmmm don’t know if I should have saved more now. I started at ~1.2 mil, then drank all the consumables I’ve been saving for ~10 months and ended up at 4.X mil. Then I proceed to spend ~9.1 mil on orrian boxes and I’m left with ~1.05 mil karma.

Besides the new recipes costing karma, what new karma sinks have they added?

Yeah, as if we weren’t already buying enough of them on the road to legendary… Karma just became a HUGE gate. Well played ANET, well played…

Just FYI, it’s a pretty common complaint that karma was way too easy to get, and had minimal things to actually use on.

I’m personally sitting pretty on 5 million karma with absolutely nothing to spend it on. This is a great change.

Yes, if you are sitting on 5 million karma then it IS a great change. Unfortunately, not all of us are sitting on 5 million karma. But meh, im not mad about it. just saying it’s a pretty significant move on ANET’s part.
