Guild Wars 2

The drop in karma rewarded from the daily from 4000 to 600, (and the monthly) is a bit drastic.

The justification that the luck consumable offsets this is weird as you generally get that much luck by killing less than 20 mobs. 3400 Karma would probably take you several hours of hard event grinding.

The 4k from the daily might have been a bit high, but the 600 is just poxy. And you what you get for the monthly is just jaw droppingly tiny.

It makes the temple vendors utterly pointless as you can get the gold / dungeon marks for comparable gear in about a twentieth of the time it would take to get the required karma.

If I had to put a guess somewhere, I would say it was nerfed because the daily was insane in terms of karma gain, especially if you consider that you can get a daily done in less than an hour.

And as others have pointed out, with events being the biggest sources of karma, maybe someone somewhere figured that lowering the Daily karma to a less significant amount would make people more focused on completing events.

I’m sure hope they will finally do that. Im so dissapointed in this change.

Likewise.. I solo/pve about 60% of the time while online and dropping karma that much is too much. Dropping it that low kills any incentive to work towards any goals
(i.e. legendaries). And yes, a good number of people don’t have those yet, are too poor to afford or simply choose to take their time.
