Guild Wars 2

When if ever can Karma become account bound instead of Character bound? Gold and Gems are why not Karma?

I don’t think it has to be since you already get so much of it.

Karma gain is already excessive… it took me roughly 9 days from headstart to get my cultural tier 3 weapon, and since my Ele uses a staff the other 200k I have earned since then is just sitting there.

And on the character I started 4 days ago (now level 16) I already have 20k thanks to daily’s and such. By the time I can even equip 3 culturals I’ll have purchased them…

It would be nice, while it would absolutely not be necessary. Most karma is gained via daily potions which already are account bound. In addition, the biggest karma sink are obsidian for legendaries, which are account bound too.
So, account karma would be nice..but definitely not a priority imo

I’d like to see it become account bound. or at least depositable to bank like gold is.
When I think of currencies in GW2 I can’t seem to remember a character bound one.

Badges of honor, dungeon currencues, new fractal currency, gold, karka shells all are account bound (or tradeable in case of gold).
As an avid re-roller / altoholic I cringe everytime I had to delete a character thinking of my karma loss.

Why can’t I use one character to farm karma and use it to dress up another character? Like I can do with all the other currencies.

I would love this considering not all alts will be maxed out and are used for other purposes like sPvP and gathering. (my thief is used for gathering exclusively especially in Orr since she can escape and has the fastest run speed.)

I think prolly the best way to do this is make all gear bought with karma account bound.

Character-bound karma may have been implemented as an indicator of an individual character’s advancement. But, with all the other currencies being account-bound, it serves to no such purpose, as I can buy anything else for any of my alt and I can disregard karma for most of my characters.

But, making karma-bought items account-bound would lead to small portions of unusable karma on different characters.

Therefore, I think it would be much better to have a karma pool from which all characters can benefit, just like all the other currencies.

i support karma account bound, would be so useful and you will feel like ‘’kitty that karma farm with that x char i did the other day, is paying some bills’’

An option is to buy exoitic/rare/exploratory recipies for crafting as those are account bound before deleting to make space for a new alt.
