Guild Wars 2

It isn’t really fun that I need to stack up on karma boosts like the Guild Buff and Guild Banner in order to use all my karma containers; this is similar to having to swap to an entire set of MF gear before opening a chest in a game like Diablo.

My suggestion would be to increase the base amount of karma offered by all karma containers so that it equals the amount a player would receive with the maximum boost effect. Then, remove the ability for karma boosting effects to increase karma gains from consumables. Then we can just use these items when we get them instead hoarding them until the stars align, and newer players aren’t punished for not knowing about the karma boosters affecting these items.

Why? You want the game to be less interesting? I like using boosters to max my Karma intake.

Last time I checked I could consume karma jugs without using those buffs.

A billion times no! Collection karma bottles and use them all at once with several karma boosts isincredibly satisfying and my main karma income.

It’s very simple, just because it optimizes earning does NOT, in fact, make it a requirement. I will admit that I refuse to use Karma consumables unless I’m heavily boosted, but that’s a choice I make. If I need Karma right now I can just chug from jugs, I just like to see how much karma I can actually make at once.

you do not NEED to use the booster, but they are nice if you have them. most of mine are just used w/e i get them and if there is a guild bonus on great, if not, I get so much karma its not a big deal.

Before i blew 600k karma on the new chests in orr I didnt even care about karma because I had so much of it that using the boosts was just giving more of something I do not need

This is a horrible idea. Only reason I even save the boosters is for those jugs, DE events have been come not worth farming right now that I just keep them on a character collecting dust. At least with the jugs and now a great way to spend karma they’ll have a purpose. Getting rid of that purpose would be a very dumb move on anet’s part.
