Guild Wars 2

Formal Request,

Is it reasonable to add Karma as an alternate currency for Obsidian Shards at the Fractal of Mists Vendor.

I have been sitting on over 600k Karma for a good 6 almost 7 weeks and Balth is bugged or something is wrong with it.

Shards are available there for fractal tokens, well thats a nice alternative for the use of the extra ones of those. But do you expect me to blow all the time it took to get the karma for buying them in Balth off.

I dont think this is an unreasonable request, possibly even for a short term, only like a month so folks can use the Karma they banked for Balth.

That should also give enough time for folks to participate in getting the exchange with the upcoming Holidays.

Any thoughts by anyone else on this, even the powers that be.

Well, i don’t think it’s a unreasonable suggestion but you can always keep an eye out on the ongoing Balthazar topic on the dynamic events thread. Some nice people post when the temple is unlocked. All you have to do is to change servers for a week. The temple stays open for a few hours after it’s taken.

But point was to not have to switch.

Why should we have to change servers for something that should be stable across all worlds?

This temple is also a Major Karma Equipment vendor as well.

Thoughts anyone, how about some support I know there are ALOT of others would like to be able to use shards, and would have no issues taking Balth and using them if Balth was a stable event.

+1 on this. As of right now, it’s very difficult for me to get the shards unless i do a server transfer >.>
