For those who haven’t still started their legendary hunt and are anware of the costs, know that the cost of a legendary weapon is about 1,000,000 karma (may be higher for unlucky people as some RNG is involved).
Right now there are only 2 ways to get karma, WvW and event farming
-WvW may not be an option for some players if their servers are bad at it
-Event farming has heavy diminishing returns now and its much less viable
So it may be quite hard for some players to get karma, so i came up with a few suggestions to gain karma with no grinding or farming involved.
-You should gain considerable amounts of karma for completing a dungeon path once a day: When you finish a dungeon you have helped someone (a npc) or destroyed a big threat, isn’t that worth some good karma?
-Repairing walls/gates and buying upgrades should award karma: Some of the most important and less recognized actions you can make in WvW, and by doing these you are helping your entire server! Why can’t we get some karma from it? These are the 2 most expensive/boring parts of WvW and give about zero rewards to the player doing them (the exp from repairs is insignifcant as you could gain more during the time you are fixing the walls)
-Revisiting renown hearts: Every day, 2 random renown hearts from every region your character already finished 100% should become empty purple hearts, those mean the heart npc needs your help again! And by revisiting the area and redoing the heart you would gain a considerate amount of karma instead of exp/coin, these hearts would remain for a max of 3 days if ignored, after that it would return to a normal yellow filled heart, so every area would have 6 hearts to be remade if you left the area for long.
