Two flavors of the same suggestion:
1. Make Karma items (armor and weps) salvagable like any other drop item
OR
2. Make Karma items (armor and weps) salvagable for the upgrade slot item only
I have a set of temple karma armor with ruby orbs that I’m not using anymore. I’d love to salvage it for the raw materials (ecto, luck, etc). If that’s not possible, at least let me salvage it for my ruby orbs (which I originally slotted in the first place).
I understand the potential issues with flooding the market with deity runes (Dwayna, Melandru, etc), but players did pay 45,000 karma for them.
Part of me thinks that someone in ANet was thinking “hey, wanna see something funny? Watch this…”
