Guild Wars 2

I love the new Karma Jugs being account bound! Thanks for that! I am an alt-holic and I love the fact that I can use the Karma on the character of my choice. One more suggestion:

Can you make a Karma Jug vendor? Someone who takes your existing Karma and places it in a Jug.

I have not given it much thought to the implications about Karma limits, but since they are account bound, I can not seen an issue with it.

Not a bad idea at all. You have my support.

It’s a good idea. The only downside I see is that, like GW1’s Star of Transference, there will be some people who see that it spits out, at most*, the same amount of karma and thus call it stupid because they don’t get that its purpose is to transfer karma around. Which isn’t really a disadvantage, unless you really hate topics that keep showing up on the forums.

*It would not surprise me for ANET to make the creation of the jug consume materials that can not be recovered.

I support this idea.

Put existing Karma into a jug. Interesting. What’s the purpose of that ? Can you elaborate.

The problem with karma before, as I believe was it became mundane to do. Continuous effort which felt like a long process of grinding became tiresome. Their solution to fix this was to add Karma Jugs as a part of our daily ritual through dungeons, dailies, and monthly. I think you guys are already asking for more, when the apparently problem was solved with a solution.

It would most likely be to transfer extra karma unto a single character. Like the alternate that maybe stays at a place where he can spend karma maybe?

That makes a lot of sense. However, I don’t think ArenaNet wants to make the jug concept that easy. It’ll ruin the longevity of the game. The reason why the jugs are account bound is probably for that reason. To easy it up instead of worrying about it.

They should take 10% off the top as a convenience fee. Stars of transference cost more than just a skill point to make.

I think this is an interesting idea.

The vendor would let the folks that play a lot but on different characters afford the higher end items by pooling karma. I don’t know if the fee for creating the jug should be gold or karma or a bit of both.

I’m pretty satisfied with the jugs from the dailies, but this is the one game I don’t play a lot of alts. I can’t think how letting folks pool their Karma across characters would impact me, other than there’s no way of telling whether that Mesmer played all those hours to afford that fancy armor, or if they got to 80 by crafting and their Warrior friend donated all his karma to them. I don’t really care about that though.
